Hello, and Thanks for Reading Anime Guild's Fifth Newsletter!
The Anime Guild is currently trying to rebuff it's Art Department.
We are currently looking to add new Graphical Art Officers. If your interested, check out this link.
We are also currently hosting a Graphical Art Competition that is being run by Forgotten Memo.
Also don't forget that Memo will also be hosting a White Day Competition in March as well.
Our next order of business is the revival of our Review Section.
We at the Anime Guild want to build a reviewers community.
With all the currently airing season activities we have.
This can be the perfect platform for reviewers to want and be apart of this community.
This is also being hosted by known MAL reviewer HaXXspetten.
Our new Power Rankings Committee system seems to really be hitting off.
If you are a currently airing season watcher. You shouldn't be missing out on the fun.
Our Spring 2016 Season Sign-Ups have been made. I hope to see many of you participate =).
Lastly we'd like to mention that we do have a Thread Directory
This you might want to bookmark as it features all of our recurring threads that are not sticked.
From a bunch of Psychology Quizzes, to several unique forum games, and funny threads like picking what anime opening would be your theme song.
We have tons of smaller threads that peak a wide variety of interests.

Hello people
I will start to tell some general information about me and the club. (don't read it until you're actually interested and love long messages D:)
I wanted for over 2 years to creat a club in mal, I wanted to experience card making and not only speak to people in comments, since I was totally not sure what title I want for the club or how I want it to be I didn't make a club for 2 years or even was active in one, later I started be in June 2015 card maker, I made cards for 2 years before but still not very good because I didn't see creations of others and just did what I wanted without focus on theme and fan art pictures, anyway later I decided call the club "sakura's Magic Bloom" till today I don't know if there is some grammar mistake in this title but let's wish we don't have XD I love sakura and I wanted my name will be sakura before Ichigo, and I thought a club that focus on the sakura tree and the blooming of it will be very fun I had big dreams about the club, and wanted tons of things to be there
Later I understood it's really hard to be a boss in a club, I was too strict with the staff and added and kick staff for no good reason T.T and I didn't know what active staff really means, after I joined many clubs and became staff there I learnd more about how club should be, and learned what I need change and improve in my club, so, I decided change the way I write the games and topics of the club, and the way I add staff so......yeah it kinda became different D:
Also I used to believe people need to be "active" so I can add editions and games and stuff, and then I understood that the club need to be interesting and a fun place to make people be active, so I decided from now on to open editions and make the club as lively and fun as possible even if no one will really pat attention to them >_>
Beofore I understood this thing my club was really dead and I didn't know how make people come more to the club and it felt so dead that I almost gave up, I lost motivation and stopped come to the club at all, yeah literally was active on mal and other clubs but almost abandoned my own club, was scared to see how my dream and my club are a big failure and wanted to forget about it.
My friend that was a staff there gave up after try make me be active on the club again and he left the staff... :/ my other friends tried help me make the club more active and gave me ideas, I can admit I'm not the best boss ever I can't imagine myself make my own company in future xD but you can say I got back motivation and I will do my best for the club now
Fun fact: my favorite colors in bbcodes and in colors in general are violet and deepskyblue, in colors it's blue and purple, so I use in every newsletter the deepskyblue color, and every card delivery the violet one ^_^
Another fun fact: I really love make records and use voice in mal I find it funny, but when I tried it on my own club it kinda failed and most of the time people are not willing to do it, so I decided in each edition just add a condition of +1 if you send a vocaroo and then if someone want to do it he's free to do it and if no then no xD at least I get 1-2 records in each edition makes me satisfied ;w;
Today I come to you with ideas I made for the club, I wrote a big big letter for myself to know what I want to do, and I'm planning to do each one of them :3
1) First thing I would like to do is an event, I thought about 2 kinds of event, Explore the country and event base on season, I think we can't handle both events at the same time for now because I don't know how many will like the idea and join, so I make a vote and you will can choose which one you prefer more, if I will see later we can handle good the 1 event I will go on the other one if people will want :)
You can vote Here, you can have more details there about my plans too ^^
2) I opened 2 editions, one of them is really big and will stay in the club forever, first edition is grand opening since I reopen the club now, it will stay open for about 2 weeks- 1 month.
The other edition is the official theme of the club which is sakura, I didn't see it in other club so it was my idea I guess, and I want it to stay open forever, so any memeber will can always request from there when enter the club ^^ it's a super big edition for a solo one XD but ehh maybe with future staff it will get even bigger hehehe
For the grand opening edition you can click Here
For the Official Theme of Sakura you can click Here
I'm not sure how much I want this club to be focused on cards, I want it to be big and with many editions, maybe at least 2 in a week? but I don't want it to be only focused in cards like in some other clubs, though I don't think I will even reach to so many card makers to open big editions regular almost everyday, it's kinda awesome they can do it xD also I want people will come for other things too like event or games, so ehh I guess half half :D
3) There many chats for different topics in this club but I will focus on the main one
Click Here to be directed to the chat about drawings, share drawings and art you made with each other, I want this chat to be very active and lively ^^
4) Since I'm very active on skype and most of my friends and people I met on club are same as me, I decided to open a skype group for this club, pls join I will be very happy :)
Click Here if you're interested, you can send me in pm the info if you feel uncomfortable in post ^^
5)If you joined the club and want to introduct yourself to the other memebers, feel free to do so in Here, I will try my best to welcome anyone, and if I miss someone, I hope you will welcome for me >.>
6)If you want to add something to the club, or suggest me anything, you can do it Here, and I will do my best to do each one of them (until I don't agree on something you want and then it might be a bit problem)
7)If you're already a member and part of the club you can request official member cards also (man I made them few months ago before I even knew about psd files, and then I made there some small mistake with i, but I might do new official member cards soon, and maybe more than 4 D:
Anyway you can do it Here, I still kinda like them they don't look so bad ^^ (I think) well, it was before I became a card maker in other clubs so I didn't have much experience xD I started be in June, oh well, oh well stop already to apologize Ichigo they don't look so bad! ;___; yada yada xD ok enough to my stupid show >.>
9) I try too many things right now alone, events, editions, votes, discuss etc, it's really hard for me to handle alone, and I would be very very happy if you would apply to be staff, I really really really need new staff and people that wish to help me to make the club bigger and handle all this big task ^_^ card makers are always welcome here, I would like to have many :D inviters will be awesome, I want many people to join the club and if possible to be active in it too from time to time ^^
Game makers will be awesome too to keep bring more awesome games to the club :D
Layout maker- my layout is so sucks right now but that's my max skills when it comes to layouts xD I prefer more creat wallpapers >.> it will be really nice if someone will accept to make for us every month a layout ^_^ (I had few offers from my friends before but since the club was so dead and I was so unmotivated and felt like give up I declined the offer because didn't want to make them work hard D: but now I feel like we really really need it ^^
If you're interested pls apply Here :)
*Ichigo is super happy to reopen her club and expect for many many future staff, she hopes to make this club the best thing ever*
Thank you for read all that till here, (if you weren't lazy and skip most parts ^^;) and I really do my best to make this club the most fun place or at least one of the most fun places in mal, I will be happy if you will want to join and show interest in any of the things I have offered or those that appear on the club ^_^
Sorry for any grammar mistake in title/club/games/topics etc etc etc, I'm not genius in english and I will never be, but I'm a very nice person, so hope we will get along well
Well yeah, but I think it's because it's something you can't easily recommend to people. There are people who get the movie, and there are people who don't. I absolutely loved the dark atmosphere.

Hello, and thanks for reading the second edition of the Anime Guild's Newsletter!
We are proud to announce that we’ve introduced several new features to our line-up of great activities =).
Our first new feature is our Seasonal Opening Competition. We at the Anime Guild provide a great assortment of Seasonal Activities and we believe that this will be a great addition to the line-up. So if you’re a huge fan of openings make sure you pay attention to the rest of our tournament -.^.
Secondly we are attempting to incorporate more Manga to our club with our Weekly Manga Discussion. Where you members vote upon what manga to read for the week and then can discuss that with other members of the club.
Lastly we have something a little different in our Seasonal Power Rankings where we take a group of people AND SHOVE THEM INTO A STEEL CAGE TO FIGHT IT OUT! Nah seems too violent if you ask me. We’ve set up a power ranking committee that will come together and discuss which x-amount of anime to watch per season and rank them from 1 to 10-15 every 3 weeks during the course of that season. Please enjoy our masochism =p. Second Edition should be posted on May 18th.
We are now halfway through the Spring 2015 Season and our Seasonal Discussion continues to grow as one of the more popular activities in the club. Please join the discussion if you want to journey with us to the climaxes of the various shows =O.
I remember starting Naruto a couple months ago, but I couldn't really get into it. I'll watch it one of these days. Hopefully.
Yeah, AoT seems to be the anime newbies get into. It's probably because they've heard so much about the show from their friends, so they give it a shot and like it. That's the story with me too lel.
Well, I haven't watched a lot of moe shows, but there are a lot of moe shows. But, from what I've seen (which isn't a lot), I'm no hater when it comes to moe shows. Does it overshadow action shtuff? I don't think so, imo. There's a lot of action that TRY to be edgy and mature, but in the end just fails on what it tries so hard to do.
Ah, so you must be new to animu then. I'm not a really big fan on long-running shtuff 'cause I usually get bored or something. :P
I started December '13 and I watched Attack on Titan. I think that was sort of the turning point in my life, since before AoT I thought anime was pretty shit lel.

Well, I was actually watching Durarara!!, but then I started watching some other stuff and completely forgot about it. O(≧▽≦)O
So are you watching this season? Any thoughts?
So how long have you been watching anime?
