So, perhaps the Friday night Anime Club meetings at the University of Texas in Austin aren’t convenient for you. In fact, perhaps your weekends are completely booked solid, so the monthly anime night with the Austin Anime Meetup Group is out of the question as well. If that’s the case for you, then Alamo Drafthouse has a solution for you – Anime at the Alamo on Tuesday nights, brought to you by FUNimation and their “FUNimation at the Movies” program.
Starting at 7:30pm you can watch the featured anime of the night for free. You read that right – FREE. Plus, you get the benefit of being at the Alamo Drafthouse. And you know what that means. You can eat your dinner, drink beer (or whatever your beverage of choice is), and have dessert … all while watching anime.
Here’s the schedule for the next couple of months:
| Date | Title |
|---|---|
| April 13th | Slayer’s Revolution |
| April 20th | Case Closed Movie 6 |
| April 27th | Soul Eater |
| – | – |
| May 4th | Initial D Third Stage |
| May 11th | Blassreiter |
| May 18th | Initial D Fourth Stage |
| May 25th | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood |
| June 1st | Mushi-Shi Movie (Live Action) |
For those of you not in the Austin area but living in the Lone Star State, FUNimation, in order to get more anime nights going says, “You get the theater. We’ll supply the anime.” And for those of you in the Dallas metro area, check out the FUNimation at the Movies meetup group near you.
By the way, I should give credit to my Twitter friend, Brandon Williams (@rocketeerbkw) for bringing this to my attention. Thanks Brandon!
