FUNimation Announces New “Anime at the Palace” event, where you can watch anime on the big screen!

OK, I know I”ve been promising a new episode for… weeks now.  Let’s just say that Fate has been conspiring against me, assaulting me with everything from a massive heatwave to massive computer failure (which caused me to lose an episode I had already recorded more than half of).  Arrgh.  Anyway I’m re-recording now (and making TONS of backups!) so hope to have something for you later today.  But I wanted to get this one particular tidbit of news out there quickly, hence this blog posting.

If you are in the Syracuse, NY area, then you’ll want to check out Anime at the Palace, a joint venture between FUNimation and Anime Syracuse.  Starting today, September 21, and running every third Monday of the month, you will be able to enjoy some good anime with your fellow anime fans – on the BIG SCREEN!  Yes, even bigger than the huge screens you find in anime convention screening rooms – I’m talking movie theater sized.  The show begins at 7 PM sharp, and they will be running several episodes of various series, with breaks between.  There will also be representatives from FUNimation handing out schwag!  But I’ve saved the best for last – this event is COMPLETELY FREE and open to the public!

Tonight’s titles include Nabari no Ou and Sgt. Frog.  Future showings will include Blassreiter, Romeo x Juliet, Bamboo Blade, and Spice & Wolf.

So if you live in the Syracuse, NY area, definitely check it out!  The event is being held at:

The Palace Theater
2384 James Street
Syracuse, NY 13206
315-463-9240

For more information, contact the theater or check out Anime Syracuse’ website.

If you’re a Texan and are feeling a bit left out, don’t worry!  You can also partake in the anime goodness, thanks to Anime at the Alamo!  (…Remember the Alamo…)  With locations in both Houston and San Antonio to serve your anime needs!
