Hello MNA!

I hope that all of you have had a wonderful summer so far. The current pandemic may seem like it has no end (or no beginning, to the surprising amount of people ignoring it), but let's set our sights on the future instead of stressing over the present. Next year marks the 30th anniversary of club! In order to have a proper celebration (scheduled for February 6th and 7th, 2021 unless something happens), we've already begun working on preparations. Part of this involves club t-shirts, and there are a few possible ways we can hold them. We would like to hear from you to determine which option works best for club. Please fill out this form as honestly and quickly as you're able to, as we want to have this information ASAP for scheduling purposes.

Thank you!

- Shawn

Now that the entire club year is over, the officer team has put together a little survey in order to gauge community interest. Please answer all questions as honestly as possible, as we may use this information when assembling the schedule for next year. To those of you graduating, we thank you for being a part of club during your time here at Cal Poly, and we can't wait to see you again. To those of you who will be continuing your college experience, we look forward to sharing more unforgettable moments together. With that, we hope that every member of our community has a great summer!

Greetings, Minna no Anime:

Want to see what everyone suggested and vote on them so that the officers know what's popular amongst club members? Sounds like you should check out this form before 10pm on May 9th then, since that's when voting closes. But here are some basic pieces of information you should be aware of beforehand:

All suggestions which were deemed too inappropriate for club, have too large of an episode count, and/or have been shown in club within the past 5 years have been removed to abide by scheduling policies. There are some questionable entries on the form, and we are aware of this. However, we wanted to cut the least amount of shows possible, and we expect people to vote responsibly. We will be making further considerations once voting has been completed.

You will need to enter your name and email in order to vote. This is to ensure that people only submit ONE response. Names will removed from responses after verification and will have no influence on schedule considerations. If we can't match a response to a club member, it will be cast to the void. Due to this, you've been given the ability to edit your response after you submit.

Please check all shows you would like to be considered for next year's club schedule. Note: what you deem "good" may not be good for club. On that subject, the form has been randomized so that there is no clear order.

That's all for now, see y'all later.

But wait, there's more:

Do you have any series that you think MNA should watch next year? Sounds like you should fill out this Community Suggestion Form to let the officers know. We will be looking at all of the community suggestions when we put together the 2020-2021 schedule. Please submit all your shows by April 25th. That's all for now, hopefully I can see all of you in Fall Quarter!

Attention Minna!

Officer elections are now LIVE! If you are a paid member, make sure to participate in the selection of next year's officers. But first, make sure you read through all of the speeches given by the candidates, which can be found here. Who knows, maybe you'll be unexpectedly impressed and change your mind about your rankings for a particular position. It is important to read all of the speeches BEFORE you vote, as you cannot change your vote through the web system once you have submitted it.

To vote, use this link and log in with your forum account information. As a reminder, only paid members can vote! If you experience any difficulties with voting, please contact the Webmaster (preferably over Discord).

Let's have a great election!

Also,

our meetings are now all online! All of the episodes will be released weekly in Google drive folders, and this message will be updated to include them. Some people will be streaming on Saturdays through our Discord server, but feel free to watch the episodes on your own time. Please note that all the shows work in the Google Drive player except for Haibane Renmei and Gankutsuou, which need to be downloaded and then opened in a media player to access the subtitles. If you need help with this, please ask.

The episodes for April 11th can be found here.

The episodes for April 25th can be found here. Please be warned, there is an assault scene in this week's episode of Gankutsuou.

That's all for now! I hope Spring quarter goes well for all of you!

- Shawn, the Webmaster
