The King and the Clown
Today I watched a film that I came across by mere chance. The title of this film was The King and the Clown. A Korean film about a group of traveling performers who mocked the ways of the King and his consort. This caused them to get into trouble with the Minister of the King. To save their selves they pleaded to preform before the king and if he laughed their lives would be spared, however, if the king did not laugh they would be killed. The story developed from there revealing corruption in the king's court and the jesters way of ...

The World of Anime Culture. I’ve been immersed in this culture since the beginning of Animation Exclamation. I’ve had experience as a leader of an anime organization and as a general fan. I’ve attended several local anime conventions and with all this I have noticed that anime culture is really great. Anime culture is the only place where you find acceptance as the number one theme. Its very funny to find acceptance in a world whose fan-base is a group of people watching Japanese animation. I would dare to say that you find even more acceptance in the anime community than in the religious community. For example, homosexuality is not shunned in the anime culture it is actually promoted in some respects by the yaoi genre. In the anime community people do not have to hide their “love of cartoons” because in the anime community you can become who you idolize through cosplay. The characters that fans idolize are characters who exhibit qualities of nobility, self-sacrifice, friendship, family, love, honor, and more. You actually see more characters in anime that truly more heroic than in American media.
So, why is the anime community shunned? That is a simple questions but the answer is always “people do not understand others.” In the panel that I attended at Anime Weekend Altanta the presenter talked about the similarities between avid sports fans and anime fan. The similarity between the two groups of fans was amazingly the same in almost every way. The only difference is sports fans are people who celebrate the triumphs of athletes and anime fans celebrate the value of animation and their creators.
The world of acceptance is a world full of weird and crazy things but if you learn to understand something, even if you don’t like it, you will be in a world of peace. I do not have to love everything about the anime community but I understand that other like it and I respect those people. I respect their fandom as I would like my fandom to be respected.

We are having a Halloween Party on the October 25th!
So get ready to get your scary faces out from hiding! We are going to need all of your help getting ready for our spook fest! So give us your minds and eyes to get ideas for the party!!!
We are getting ready for the Halloween party! It is only 2 weeks away now. We are celebrating our Halloween party on Saturday, Oct. 25th @ 6pm until 9pm. We are going to turn the OEMC assembly room into a wondrous world of black lights and anime! Please come dressed up in your cosplay or Halloween costume!
Since we are having this party instead of charging admission we would like for everyone to bring some kind of food and/or drink. Remember, the club has no money! We are poor broke children so most of the cost of the club is from money and services donated by a few dedicated people. Food and/or drink is the only thing that you will be required to bring.
We are going to require that you RSVP before the party. We are buying items for each of you and we would like to know how many people to expect. Please let me know if you are bringing any friends or are expecting anyone to come. It is important that you let me know so I can have enough material for everyone so that no one is left out. You can RSVP me by replying to this e-mail or calling/text me at 478-231-1761. Also, please let me know what kind of food/drink you are bringing. (If you have accepted on the Facebook or MySpace event listing then just send me a message about what you are bringing.)
Depending on how many people dress-up in costumes we will have a costume contest. So, please dress in your ghoulish costume or nicest cosplay. The winner will take home a nice prize!
