Hey everyone! We've decided to host a UMAnime marathon meeting in between our usual scheduled meetings this week to show off the series Digi Charat on Saturday August 10th in rooms 205-207 in the University Center starting around 10:00 am. Here's a description of the series - Digiko (along with her guardian, Gema and little sister, Puchiko) lands on earth with the goal of becoming a pop idol singer---and quickly learns that in order to survive one needs money. she runs into (literally) the owner of "Gamerz", a manga and anime store, who offers to let Digiko stay in an upstairs room of his shop. Naturally, the ever-proper gema says that it would be wrong to just freeload, so Digiko gets drafted into minding the store to earn their keep. Official Digi Charat Website - http://www.broccoli.co.jp/dejiko/ This is one of the more .. odd anime's I've seen and it would be fun to share it ^^ The episodes are short and were initially designed to promote a store in Japan by the name of "Gamerz". Those familiar with the Digi Charat sagas should know that we will be showing the original TV series, the summer special, the christmas special and the new movie "A Trip to the Planet". We may be ordering pizza so if you want to eat.. bring your pizza money! We might even have Digi Charat Trivia and prizes! Also, it might be possible that we may not be watching this series on the projector.. if not, we still have a television as backup! See you there!
