Saturdays, 2:00 pm 1/21, 2/18, 3/17, 4/28, 5/26 This winter at Anime Typhoon, local anime/manga expert Terrence Thompson will help with meetings. Our plan is to watch new and old anime and compare the difference, which is going to very epic and fun. We will watch full-length anime and plan a trip to University of Michigan’s anime club, Animania. In addition, watch Ypsilanti District Library Teen’s Facebook page for special additions, like bento box making in January! -Walter, anime chair At TYDL Wave, members believe that anime is a way of life! From the fields of Feudal Japan, to the battleships of a distant galaxy, anime covers all forms and styles of life. Have fun watching the best from the Land of the Rising Sun! 734.482.4110 Whit Rd ext. 1340 5577 Whittaker Rd Book Mobile 743.417.8064

Winter 2012 [Issue] :: [Date]
Four of my favorite anime series to stream at the library are Fairy Tale, One Piece, Bleach and Naruto Shippuden. The common theme that makes them of interest is action. In addition, Bleach is full of drama and suspense, but Naruto is my all time favorite. Fairy Tale, Bleach and Naruto manga are also available at the library! D’Andelo Woods (Naruto also recommended by Will)
Birdy is an undercover agent from the galactic space station that comes to earth in search of an escaped prisoner. –Dontrell

My favorite anime is Samurai Champloo. I like it because it’s an old school samurai flick, hip-hop influenced anime. -Jequinnson
