Kanji Name Scrolls!

With help from the University of Pittsburgh's Asian Studies Center, you will learn to write your name in kanji. All supplies for making your scrolls will be provided.

Ouran High School Host Club: Part 1

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Slice of Life
Creator: Bisco Hatori
Director: Takuya Igarashi
Producers: Gen Fukunaga
ADR Director: Caitlin Glass
Voice Actors: Caitlin Glass as Haruhi Fujioka
Vic Mignogna as Tamaki Suou
J. Michael Tatum as Kyoya Ohtori
Greg Ayres as Kaoru Hitachiin
Todd Haberkorn as Hikaru Hitachiin
Travis Willingham as Takashi Morinozuka
Luci Christian as Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka

What it's about:

Ouran Academy: An institution of extravagance and prestige where learning comes secondary to luxury. But for studious Haruhi Fujioka, education is a privilege that must be earned, being on scholarship and out of place among the moneyed. That is until the day Haruhi stumbles upon the Host Club, a stumble which leaves the freshman indebted for millions of yen. And the only way to pay for the damages? Well, Haruhi will work as a Host. There’s only one problem: Haru-he is actually a Haru-she!

From the troublesome twins with their little games to the self-proclaimed “king” obsessed with the club’s newest member, these boys will cater to any desire. Freshman year definitely looks like it will be one to remember!

You and two other anime fans will be asked to put on your trivia hats and wrack your brains around the tough competition that will be had at this month's Anime Club Team Quiz! Compete for prizes!

What it's about:

Salvation lies in the heart of the broken.

Roy Revant is living the hard life of a bounty hunter in a broken city, a city where thousands have died in a mysterious event called the Blast Fall. Those who survived share the sting of loss. Countless Resembles walk the streets, people whose mangled bodies have been rebuilt with high-tech prosthetic devices. Yet there are those that even science cannot mend. Roy needs a miracle to escape his rut… and one night she falls from the sky. Like countless others Solty is a Resemble, but one unlike the world has ever known. A young girl without a past, soon she will have a family. But in this world, pain and alienation are never too far away.
