"It was April 30th a moment ago, but now it's May 1st. You just witnessed yesterday becoming today."

Do you remember seeing a brand new day for the first time?

AniClub continues!

Last year we met once a month to watch through Katanagatari, Samurai Champloo, and Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran together, in keeping with the original broadcast order schema of Katanagatari. People seemed to like this, so I have prepared a new slate of shows for 2025!

Headlining is a harebrained chronological screening of Hidamari Sketch! We'll be checking in with Yunocchi and friends throughout her first year of high school to see what they've been up to that month. Over the course of the series' four season run, we're treated to both the personal growth of Yuno and friends, as well as the growth of Studio SHAFT itself, as they develop and refine aspects of their house style they would go on to employ to great effect in later works such as Bakemonogatari, Madoka Magika, and many others.

Incidentally, Yuno doesn't start school until February, so we'll be catching up with her next time.

In the meantime, I've picked out a few other shows to back it up, following a theme of highly stylized slice of life and teen drama shows:

Kare Kano is a personal favorite that I think showcases a lot of what makes both Anno-era and post-Anno Gainax great.

SoreMachi shares the talent of director Akiyuki Shinbo and studio SHAFT with Hidamari, and has been on my personal to-watch list for quite a while. It features maids! We love maids, right?

Super Gals! is a frenetic dash through youth subculture in early 2000s Shibuya, featuring lots of highly era specific language, fashion, and tech, wrapped up in a psychedelic scrapbook-esque presentation.

The first screening will be This Sunday, 1/26/25, at roughly 6:30 PST/ 9:30 EST, at Cytu.be/r/onthismonthandthisevening.

I hope to see you all there! Let's start this year off right!
