ADA and Anime Scheduling Concerns
This weekend's All-Day-Anime Day went fairly well. The "How to Make an AMV" panel went pretty well. There was a decent audience, and it seemed to go smoothly, aside from the slow start and a few bumps all due to technical issues which shouldn't be a problem next time. It really renewed my faith at doing member-run panels at ADAs. I assume the Smash Bros tournament went well too. I say assume because Phil was running that one, and I haven't heard him say that it went badly, so I'm going with good.
Today, I failed in getting a ride to the MTAC volunteer meeting, opening myself up to Cole getting on to me for quite a while about getting a car. I did have some good discussions about club business with some friends. A good bit had to do with my views with how we should decide to show stuff and with licensing companies and their anime club support programs. I don't particularly like the fact that we really don't have a set anime viewing schedule. Polls are one thing, but even our running series, if we really have any, are so sporadic that plenty of times, we don't know what we're showing until the day of the meeting. I would like to just pick a couple of running series, but I get insecure about even just a couple of people showing distaste that I start backing down some. Even the show that a majority of the people in the club like, I'm hesitant to continue because there's a small faction that doesn't. This really shouldn't be so hard, but there's just such a wide variety of tastes and disinterest in other tastes in our club. I know I can't please everyone, but it especially hurts when some of those people you can't make happy are friends.
I would like some schedule stability, which would require picking and sticking to series, so that 1) I can put that up on a site so people will basically know what we will be showing all semester, and 2) it would be much easier if we ever start asking permission for the licensed stuff we watch. I get paranoid about us not doing it, and if we start doing bigger stuff as a club and join licensing companies' anime club support programs like ADV's Anime Advocates or Funimation's Operation Anime, I'm worried that will draw attention. Luckily, most of what we show is still unlicensed, but there's a couple of things that we've shown a good bit of that are. As I said, I get increasingly paranoid. I still hate the whole idea of asking permission for screenings that are free and open to the public like ours are. |
