Anime and Videos

updated January 1, 2009

We plan to show anime Friday and Saturday night; our selections will be coordinated with Animate!, the Ohio State Anime Club. We'll keep the anime rolling as late as people want to watch. There will also be Saturday morning cartoons with cereal and milk and more of the latest movies in the evenings.

We also have a special arrangement with the organizers of MatsuriCon, a fun anime convention that's happening Aug. 28-30, 2009 at the Holiday Inn, Worthington ... just a mile from Context!

So, anime fans who want to double their fun weekend can attend both cons for a lowered price. Just take your full-weekend Context badge to their registration table, and you can get into as many MatsuriCon events as you want for $10.

If you're mainly planning to attend MatsuriCon, you can bring a full-weekend MC badge to our registration and get into Context for the whole weekend for $15; you can also preregister at the discounted MatsuriCon rate if you plan to take any of our writing workshops (you will still have to show their badge when you sign in).

We will have more to announce in coming months!
