The Animana Club dates can be found listed in our Program Calendar (along with the rest of our library programs).  If you have trouble you can use the searchbox at the bottom of the calendar to search for just "animanga".

Avenue diner -- on the North side of Michigan Avenue between Haggerty and Lilley -- is really quite excellent. The food is very fresh, and the atmosphere is the type of diner that you want to become a "regular" at.

I suggest the sweet potato fries

Not sure if this is a really random topic or not since it is related to anime/manga anyways.

Is anybody cosplaying this year? Does anyone have any plans to cosplay in the future? Is anybody too broke to cosplay? Are there any conventions that anybody wants to go to or are going to?

Tell everything about it here!

Also, if anybody needs help on a cosplay they're working on, post your question here and we'll try to help you out.

Personally, I already have a list of people I want to cosplay. The first cosplay I ever did was Yuffie from FFVII: Advent Children. Right now I'm working on Vivi, the Kingdom Hearts II version.

I'd post my entire planning list here, but it's WAY too long, so I'll just put some notable ones:

- Edward Elric (FMA)

O.k. So I can't believe I'm going to ask this question...This is totally not what Naruto is about...but are there any couples you are rooting for in Naruto to end up together? I know there are some of you who think about nothing else. Come on; admit it.

So, we've started to make some changes to freshen things up around here. We've now got a new gallery feature which is pretty sweet. It should atuomatically catch an image you put into a post and reproduce it in a viewable gallery. Check it out. It'll only take the first post in a thread though. The images in everything after that (the 'comments') won't transfer, so it means you'll need to start a new thread for each peice of artwork. You can find it right now by going to the link at the very top of the gallery forum topic page that says gallery-ish page. Let us know what you think!
Get directions for uploading your art here.

Okay, we need to get people more informed about this site. I say we announce the new URL next meeting, because that's probably the biggest reason there aren't a lot of people here. At least I think so.

Anyway, on to the topic, because we need a new one of those. What anime or manga do you think is underated and deserves more attention?

On the flip side, which anime do you think is overrated?

Personally, I think a lot of the anime with a 13 or less episode count don't get a lot of attention because it's not long enough to become popular,or to make a big impact. Which is really sad because there are a lot of anime, like Zombie-Loan, that are awesome, that don't get a lot of attention.

Each week we will have a blog post in which members of the CPL community can respond to get know one another.

If you wish to remain anonymous, you may also take the survey without signing in.

This week we would like to know (in the comments) — What inspires you?

This is thelifeofabinder from the original forums (and on deviantART)!

Decided to start out with some fanart! I have a lot of art saved up on my computer. Enjoy!

This is Roxas from Kingdom Hearts of course~

and I LOVE Soul Eater! Plus, Tegaki is awesome. You haven't been there yet, definitely go check it out!

I'm always interested to know what is being built, what new businesses are going in, and which businesses are moving. When I see bulldozers or other activity, I always wish there was a sign or something that would indicate what's happening.

There's a new building being built next to the CVS at Cherry Hill and Canton Center. Rumor has it that the Dairy Queen (currently located next to Lucky Hair Company) is moving in there, but the building looks big enough that it could hold more than just a DQ.

I also noticed that the vacant lot at Warren and Lilley is being worked on.

Does anyone know the skinny on these or other changes? Is there an existing place to find this info online?
