Hopefully we don't sound like a broken record, but again we apologize for the late update this month. We just got confirmation yesterday from the university about this month's screening date and location. The MLB was not available, and we immediately sent in a request for a room change. Please note that the screening is being held in EAST HALL, and not the MLB like normal.

For the record, the screening dates for July and August have been confirmed, and are July 31st and August 21st. These will be held in the MLB.

On a different note, Animania now has a new sponsor. You might have seen on our website, Crunchyroll is now sponsoring Animania, and have generously allowed us to use their services during our screenings. Additionally, we will also be raffling off 1 month Premium Anime Memberships throughout the summer.
