the Yale Anime Society
...because all great television has to have
big eyes and heads, sparkles, and incomprehensible languages spoken quickly.
Welcome to the Yale Anime Society Website
The Yale
Anime Society is dedicted
to the promotion of anime and manage on Yale's campus. In other words,
we watch anime! Come join us and see what anime is all about.
We are a very warm and inviting group of people from all walks of life.
Even if you've never seen anime before, stop on by. Anime is nothing
more than medium in which to tell stories, but one which has its own
particular style, history and fanbase.
Our showings begin at 7:30 pm on Fridays and last until about 9:45 pm. In the Friday Viewing Circles, we watch a whole series through a copuple of weeks. On Saturdays, we show three-episodes or OVAs to different anime, or sometimes we watch a movie, beginning at 7:00 pm. Click on Calendar for more information.

This Week's Screenings
Step 1: Meet Koyuki, a regular 14 year old boy who ...well... is decidedly less than cool. Quiet, shy, and generally unimpressive, he tags behind his friends, avoids bullies, and tries to stay safely out of the spot light. A boring life indeed.
Step 2: Have Koyuki meet an emerging rock musician with a bad-@$$ attitude and awesome hair (can you tell I'm biased).
Step 3: Add childhood romances, new romances
Step 4: Stir in with innovative character designs, unusually nuanced group dynamics, cool music, a great sense of humor, and my favorite engRish lines in all of anime Result: Beck aka Mongolian Chop Squad. Needless to say, this is one anime you don't want to miss. .
Upcoming Episodes: 6-10
"Henrietta" was an innocent little girl when her entire family was
massacred and she was left for dead. She was rescued by a
privately-owned social welfare organization and given cybernetic
components over her battered body. Brainwashed by the organization, she
and four other girls now work as cold-blooded assassins, doing the
dirty work for the Italian government.
Black Cat
Train Heartnet is known as the Black Cat for his quick reactions to
attacks and his title as Number Thirteen as member of the secret
society Chronos. He is an unbeatable master gunman, a cold and
unfeeling killer until he meets Saya, a bounty hunter, or "sweeper".
She teaches him the value of a human life, and that one should live in
order to repent for one's mistakes rather than die because of them.
Through her, Train learns to love and care for other people as he too
becomes a sweeper and travels with his partner Sven and the mysterious
girl Eve.
