Well, the 83rd Academy Awards are coming up! I think Toy Story 3 has the Best Animated Film in the bag, don't you? It was disappointing that Despicable Me didn't get an nomination, though. That was another excellent film.
Gearing up for the next Anime Afternoon already, coming up on April 2. As always, we will have curry rice, Japanese candy, Pocky and snacks.
The Muehl Public Library has added a lot of new anime already this year. We have the complete collection of Vampire Knight, sure to delight Twilight fans and other angsty Vampire romance groupies. We have the first half of Black Butler, for those who prefer their anime more ghoulish and funny. Those are both dubbed in English, too--so many new anime are only available subtitled now. In the subtitled department, we have added the first part of Gin Tama (sci-fi samurai comedy adventures) and parts 3 and 4 of Eyeshield 21 (Football, comedy.)
In regular cartoons we have added the complete Dangermouse series (British secret agent mouse!) and the Best of Fat Albert.

New Year!
Yay, it's 2011, and we have money in the movie budget again!
We'll be starting off the year by adding the complete collection of Bewitched! Eight seasons of Darren and Samantha, Endora, Tabitha, and the Cravitzes next door. Classic comedy, watch for it!
Also, Part 3 of the excellent animated football series, Eyeshield 21. In this segment, the Deimon Devil Bats take a training trip to the USA. If you want to see how America is viewed by the Japanese, this section is good for a few laughs. Wanna join an NFL team? Just show up for the public try-outs. :D
If you know of movies you think we should own, don't be afraid to suggest them at the front desk. We have Purchase Request forms for you to suggest library materials you want us to add to the collection.
VHS tapes are still here! I have doubts whether they will last through another year, though, as the collection is aging and they've pretty much stopped making them. We are not yet seriously considering adding a Bluray collection at Seymour yet, though the time will probably come.

How Anime Afternoon works
Since somebody asked in the comments, I will let you know how Anime Afternoon is run.
There is no charge for anything.
It runs from 4pm to midnight on Saturday, Oct 30.
We will have around a hundred Anime titles available! Most are owned by the library system, some are on loan from the private collections of participants.
We try to keep to anime rated for 13-14 year olds up till 8pm. After that, we need any younger kids to go, because we allow people to choose programs with more mature content.
We draw names, and the person whose name is picked gets to choose the next title we watch. There will be food and soda available. We have door prizes, but it's small stuff--second-hand mangas, stickers, library discarded DVDs, back issues of Shonen Jump, that sort of thing. There is no charge of any sort for anything, although donations of any sort are always welcome!
We encourage cosplaying (dressing up as an anime character!)
I hope that answers any questions! If not, call us at the library-- 920-833-2725 -- and ask for Colette!

Anime! Anime! Anime! :D
I'm very excited about our second Anime Halloween! We will have more anime titles available than ever before! Not only have several other libraries added new titles, so have we, including the highly popular Hetalia: Axis Powers and the football comedy, Eyeshield 21. We will have curry rice and Taiyaki and Pocky, as usual. :)
If there is enough interest, we may do an Anime Christmas event...not as long and grueling, though. Maybe show Tokyo Godfathers and the Love Hina Christmas movie, and a couple of Christmas-themed anime episodes.
One note on attending our Anime event this October 30th: Most of our programs are rated for age 13 and up. But not all. In the evening we allow people to choose more mature programs to watch, closer to Rated R/ TV-MA. Anyone under the age of at least 13 should be heading home by 8.

Movie lineup change
We're changing the Oct 1 movie from Free Willy to...ugh, not allowed to advertise titles. But it's a Disney action movie that takes place in ancient Persia.
PG-13, for intense violence and action. (Lots of sword-fighting!)

Star Trek returns to shelves
If anyone heard the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the missing Star Trek DVDs, I would just like to announce that they have been found. They were apparently put in the wrong package...
