With popular demand (and with the suggestion from Tim, our Travelling-Europe Exec), AnimeUNSW is proud to bring you the AnimeUNSW YouTube Channel!!!
So far not much is on it, but with more time, AnimeUNSW is aiming to try and publish videos each month relating to the all the activities that we participate in, such as art session, conventions, AMV competition, etc.
For the link to the AnimeUNSW YouTube Channel, Click Here!
If you have any videos that you would like to upload, feel free to contact us and tell us about your video that you want to upload and it might just be uploaded!!!
How was the first week back at uni? Yes, I bet you guys are all moaning and groaning about going to uni again and how you have one helluva painful subject to do this semester (ugh… physics for me T-T) or whether you are starting a major assignment in just the first week of returning to uni. Whatever your circumstances are at uni, I am bringing you guys a new event which most of you guys have always wanted to do!!!
We’ve all been to laser tag and let’s be honest, we’re getting pretty bored of shooting lasers which never seem to work from time to time and the endless list of rules that make playing laser tag look like a walk in the park. So here at the AnimeUNSW Exec Lair, we have prepared an event to allow members to let loose with some live ammo… PAINTBALL!!! Since we only recently busted out of Maitland Gaol, it’s only natural that AnimeUNSW go shoot up the haters that put us there it the first place *cough*Execs*cough* =D.
Danny-sama has been praticing to shoot whilst blindfolded and playing a piano with his feet at the same time xD
The location that we will be going for paintball will be at Appin (slightly south of Campbelltown). This means that we’ll most likely be heading in really early in the morning. Also, AnimeUNSW currently have only 40 tickets available for paintball, but we may be lucky to scrape up some more if miraculously more people turn up:
When: 5th of September, 2010 (@ the start of the mid semester break on Sunday)
Meet up: Meet up at the end of Quay Street, City (the street between UTS Library and Market City)
What time: 7am SHARP! We need to leave by 7:30am the LATEST!!! If you are not here by that time, don’t expect us to be wait for you anymore!!!
Drivers:If you can drive on the day and have a car, please let me know with your RSVP. I will need at least 5 drivers (including me) so please email me if you are willing to offer lifts!
How much:
Members: $25
Non-Members: $30
Pay by: Either pay during ART SESSIONS directly to either Danny *me*, Mithril *Screening Director* or Jeremy *Co-events director* (Dates of art session will be announced) or via netbank
How much should I bring: you have an option to bring an extra $14 to $42 for more paintballs (we’ll be buying in bulk of $280/2000 which is about $14/100per-person/paintballs for 20 people). For dinner, bring about $15 to $20.
RSVP by: 22nd of August 2010!!! Email me or come to me during the Art Sessions that you are going to attend and payments WILL need to be made with your RSVP!!! Be sure to include your names in your RSVP and whether or not you will be attending dinner!!! PLEASE RSVP ON TIME!!! ANY RSVPS AFTER THAT, I WILL ONLY RECONSIDER LETTING YOU IN! THIS IS PAINTBALL SO BOOKING EXACT NUMBERS IS ESSENTIAL FOR ME! Don’t make my life difficult!!!
>Refunds will not be accepted after the RSVP date! Sorry guys as it will complicate matters<
If there are any questions, information needed, or information for payment methods click here to refer to our forum thread for the event!!!
If you need any information, feel free to contact me!!! But until then, let’s rock up and show them how the AnimeUNSW spirit is!!!
As you all should know (you better T_T) we have this dedicated website.
What you don’t know is that we’ve been secretly constructing our own forum (like the Fortress of Solitude, but friendlier) so that all our announcements and discussions can be centralised in one place. This makes it easier for us because we do not need to update multiple areas to make sure you are all in the know, and it’s easier for the members because you don’t all have to go looking for club information.
This new forum is user-friendly and we can link all new announcements straight to the forums so you guys have to do even less work, just like Arts students ;D (of whom I am King).
Here is the link to the new forum. Please sign up and don’t forget to read the Rules!!!

As our previous members will recall with the 2009 Exec Look-A-Like competition we hold annual competitions where the only prize is praise and the lulz borne out of the entries. The 2010 competition as you can all tell is an AMV competition in which we encourage all members to create an AMV of at least 30 seconds (but not more than 3 minutes). There are three genres that members may enter into:
Funniest AMV
Most Romantic AMV
Best Theme Song for Selected Anime
Submissions end on the 10th of October 2010! Voting will commence on the 11th of October 2010 and will be closed on the 22nd of October 2010.
The winners of the competition will be announced at the end of year party, which will be hosted in October/November. We will screen the winners as well as any others which we believe deserve a special commendation!
Before you submit your entry you will need to read and follow the rules located at this link.
To submit an AMV please follow this link. Please make sure your submission has a downloadable link and is in either .wmv or .avi format. The name of the file should be your own name.
Congratulations, you have joined one of the most active and fun societies in UNSW!
AnimeUNSW would like to extend a hearty welcome to our over 300 new and returning members who decided to join our family in O-Week 2010. To the new members I say thank you, for overlooking our myriad idiosyncrasies and recognising that we are indeed a club of like-minded anime/manga/gaming-related fans who just want to have fun, and believe me we will again this year =D
To the returning members I say REJOICE, for we may once again be entertained outside (or during) class.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to the many returning members who assisted us during O-Week 2010. Whether you helped to run the stall, convinced people to join or advertised through cosplay you guys and gals were always helpful sooo…
