Anime Viewing/Dubbing/Commentary in January

Happy New Year, MTACkers!

Watching Anime was one of the fun activities we got to do at our MTAC meetings in November-December. At our last meeting in December, we saw a wacky anime series not many of us has seen or heard about and to make matters interesting, we couldn't find the remote to change the subtitles/audio. So we had to guess what was going on as the anime played. Fun! No sarcastic tone needed.

For January 13th and 27th, come in with a wacky, absurd anime title (Moon Phase worthy) rated for teens or under for everyone to dub their own voices, guess the plot, or commentate on awkward scenes.
