2 hours enough?

Subject: 2 hours enough? Fri Oct 26, 2007 5:38 pm

So, do you guys like the format of how the animanga club runs? Like the mystery anime? Wednesdays still good. THings right now are scheduled out till Febuary, but after that one possibility is we could have meetings that are longer and show more stuff. It could be 3 hours. It could be 4 hours on a weekend. 2 hours though might be good; I know with school and homework it is hard to always have time to come. Maybe 2 hours is perfect because it's easier to sneak away for just a short bit of 2 hour fun! Plus, if it was longer (like 6-9) it might cut into dinner. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, I think 2 hours is enough. sure, maybe we can't see as many animes as we might like, but like you said, 3 hours would cut into dinner... and I know many of us like to eat ^^

I'm also one of those people who stress on homework, and any longer might interfere. I think 2 hours is just right ^0^

We could have pizza or something for dinner here too. But, I think 2 hours is working well now. Just curious about people's thoughts.

Oooo, that would be fun...

I wish more people would join this forum.

Me too.
We'll give it some time to see if it catches on...

I think two hours is enough given that it's on a school night and it's not summer. Although, you could make it two and a half hours, just to make it a bit longer without possibly running into dinner time.

The pizza idea is good because then we would be fed here. ^^

Overall two hours is perfect. =)

One possibility too is that we could have a super special Animanga Club meeting, where we hold it on the weekend and have it be longer and show more stuff -kind of like the Day of Anime- but have it maybe only once or twice a year as something special...

Just more possibilities....

yeah! It's good to hear feedback! Smile

I'm curious too if people like the format of showing one main series continously for a few months at a time (like we did with Naruto) with a mystery Anime at the end of each meeting to spice things up, or would you prefer 3 epsiodes of something totally new and different each and every meeting (I.E. have a bleach animanga club meeting, next month a fruits basket animanga club month, etc.)

I think what we have now works well, but I thought I'd ask to get your opinion...

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Thu Dec 13, 2007 5:43 pm

One other thing,
I am thinking we may push things back starting in March to 6:45 - 8:45, rather than 7:00 - 9:00 just to give people time to leave and clean up and not feel rushed....

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Fri Dec 14, 2007 5:44 pm

*nods*
definitely a good idea. [6:45-8:45]

That is INGENIOUS. yes.

(especially since my friend and I always sneak off to the teen room while Naruto's playing)

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Fri Dec 14, 2007 10:29 pm

awww.
how come you sneak off during naruto?

why can't it be done any sooner than march?

Question

It gets kind of crazy during Naruto XD

(lots of booing and cheering) = P

perhaps because the dates for January and February meetings have already been given out? *shrugs*

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sun Dec 16, 2007 3:29 pm

yeah. true true.

naruto makes people go crazy.

either you're for it, or against it.

^^

ahh. true, true.

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sun Dec 16, 2007 8:49 pm

I think wee should have them twice a month. Once on th Wednesday for two hours then maybe on a Saturday for longer. That would be sweet.

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Mon Dec 17, 2007 6:26 pm

question. does animanga club have a budget? or are you [librarian hokage] paying this with your own money?

yeah. wednesday is definitely a good day for me to go to animanga club. as for the longer one, saturday would probably work best, but how about sunday?

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Mon Dec 17, 2007 7:51 pm

The library provides the budget for the Animanga club, so I don't have to pay for it out of my own funds (Thankfully! Prizes are expensive....). It's still not a huge budget, so I have to make do with it the best I can. But, since we have a healthy number of people now the library doesn't mind spending a little more. The more people we have, the more money they are wiling to give us for the club (well, within reason...). But, food and prizes and anime add up quick!

The reason we can't officially start pushing the time back untill March is that it's already set for that time in our Connections newletter that is going to go out for Jan. and Feb., and we can't change it. Still, I think we might start in Feb. with a sort of test 6:45-8:45. We won't actually start the anime untill 7:00 (if people come then) but we'll start it right at 7:00 instead of waiting untill 7:15 ish like we normally do. I'll let people know at the January meeting and change it on this site soon. I think that will work, and it will give people a little time to adjust to the change.

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Mon Dec 17, 2007 7:54 pm

that's good. because i would feel horrible if you had to pay for all the food and stuff yourself. ^^;

a lot of people show up early anyways..
woot!

I remember the first meeting when there was practically no one there...,

whoot for us!

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Tue Dec 18, 2007 6:07 pm

good advertising/word of mouth/ forcing people to come.

^~

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sat Jan 05, 2008 1:07 am

i would love the animanga to be longer, heck i would want to spend all day at it. but dinner...people have things to do...its on a school night....and knowing my overly hyper friends we'd surly be kicked out Kaos-Brown3

i dunno...the animmanga never seem to last long enough but 3 hours might be pushing it. Kaos-Panda1

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sat Jan 05, 2008 1:36 am

I agree with Neko! I think 2 Hour Blocks are Fine!!

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sat Jan 05, 2008 11:04 am

I think the mystery anime is a good idea because then it gives more motivation for people to come to see what it is.

And plus, it gives them a reason to come if they don't like what was already planned to play.

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sat Jan 05, 2008 11:05 pm

hey, i didnt say i liked the 2 hour blocks, just 3 hours might not be good in the long run. Kaos-Panda33

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sun Jan 06, 2008 12:08 am

Yeah that 2... 3 hours might cut into Dinner or have people stay out too late on a School night... ^_^0

Subject: Re: 2 hours enough? Sun Jan 06, 2008 12:38 am

Idea:
Would it be possible to have an overnight lock down and just play animes all night long? Or at least for a portion of the night?

That. Would be awesome.

Probably would work best in the summer. And at the Summit.
