The Monthly Anime Adventure is the product of a partnership between Anime Punch and The Ohio State University Urban Arts Space. This monthly event is dedicated to the pursuit of hosting fun and intellectually stimulating lectures, discussions, and interactive events for people of all ages. It is also a step in building a bridge between Columbus's many arts communities and the anime community. This series should be entertaining and enriching for both people with no previous understanding of Japanese animation and for hard core otaku alike!
The Artistic Merits of Shonen Anime
Thursday, February 16th 6pm - 8pm
Shonen anime is defined as anime targeted at younger teenage boys. Popular titles include Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Naruto, and Fullmetal Alchemist. It is exemplified by young, brash heroes gathering a team of friends to defeat some great nemesis. It is often crudely drawn, and the emphasis is on fighting and action, rather than plot or development. In this seminar guest lecturers from Anime Punch will dissect the most popular titles in anime to identify what elements within them makes them good art, good media, good marketing, or all of the above.

Note: The March Monthly Anime Adventure will be on the 4th Thursday of March, not the usual third, as our major convention Anime Punch: Revoluticon is the third weekend of the month.
The UAS is located at 50 W Town Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215. There doors facing State street (in the back of the complex) are often closed by the time our stuff starts, so you will need to use the main entrance on Town Street. There is typically on-street parking available, so bring quarters for the meters. There are nearby parking garages as well.
