Anime Addicts @ Indian River Library: Meeting In Review

October Meeting
October 21, 2010



Ghost Hunt  Copyright: 2008 FUNimation

Title:  Ghost Hunt
Audience:  Young Adult (Rated TV-14)
Location:  DVD F GHOSTHUNT

Telling ghost stories is a favorite past time of Mai Taniyama and her friends--that is, until she meets 17 year-old Kazuya Shibuya, the man sent by Shibuya Psychic Research Center to investigate paranormal activity at a supposedly haunted school. When Mai gets caught in a dangerous situation, she is rescued by Kazuya's assistant. Saving her lands the assistant incapacitated, and Kazuya demands that Mai become his assistant instead.

While there are main plot points to this series, it is very much a collection of short stories.  With Ghost Hunt you enter a world full of paranormal activiy, ghost stories, and folklore.  Once you start watching, you will not want to stop!

If you enjoyed the anime, check out the manga available at the Chesapeake Public Library.

Cosplay @ Indian River Library

The Indian River Library Anime Addicts hosted a cosplay event on June 17th.  There were trivia contests, a chopstick challenge, anime to watch, and of course a costume contest.  To see our teens in action, click on the video below.




Some of the teens displayed their dancing skills (I am tired just from watching)!

Children of the Sea, Volume 1

While this isn't a new title by Daisuke Igarashi (published in 2009), I picked it up because of my interest in what's happening in the Gulf of Mexico and the BP oil spill. I've always been drawn to anything related to marine life and oceans and this book covers all of this.

Volume 2 is already on our shelves and volume 3 is soon to follow. You can see my full review at CPL's youth reader's advisory blog, Bottom Line Book Reviews.
