Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Sunday, February 20th!

Valentines Day will have passed by this time but that doesn't mean can't have a little bit of romance left over. Sunday, February 20th at 1PM in FS3F-111 of Building 3F at Full Sail University will be when and where our next meeting will take place.

Propeller Anime Club enters a genre it has stayed away from and experiences the most recent film of one of the past decade's most acclaimed directors: Makoto Shinkai.

Makoto Shinkai broke out in 2000 when he created, directed, wrote, and produced - BY HIMSELF - Voices of a Distant Star. Since then, he has been named a contender for Hayao Miyazaki's throne much like Mamoru Hosoda has.

Our feature will be 5 Centimeters Per Second. The movie looks beautiful and features a story of two close friends who are forced apart by their families and try their best to stay in touch through letters. But over time, their communication begins to cease and the rift between them grows wider.

The movie examines human relationships and the power of communication in great detail and it will be something that is certainly fresh and new for the club.
