On Thursday, September 12, Anime Club invites members to an exclusive, members-only double feature showcasing two iconic entries in a beloved mecha franchise. The films will be preceded by introductions from longtime Anime Club member Ralphie Serpico, adding unique insights to this one-night-only viewing experience.
Prepare for an evening packed with intense mecha action as we dive into these unforgettable classics. We’ll have drink specials crafted just for the occasion, and a raffle where you can win rare event posters and handpicked anime prizes. Before and after the screenings, unwind in The Lounge or The Studio—perfect spaces to discuss the films, enjoy a drink, catch some OVAs, and share your thoughts on which other anime you’d love to see on the big screen.
Remember, this event is a private screening exclusive to FACETS Film Club Members ($15/Month or $150/Year) and their +1. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience—sign up today and get ready for a night of mecha like no other!
Both films screening in Japanese with English subtitles
