May is going to be a pretty awesome month! We'll have a very special Anime Nite Orlando, an outing to the movies, and the return of a sweet music festival for anime fans and gamers! Here are the announcements. Prepare your bodies for lots of fun!




Our next Anime Nite Orlando will be Thursday, May 15th at Bikkuri Lounge! (1919 E. Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL) We will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of one of the most beloved anime franchises ever. That's right! It's a whole night dedicated to GUNDAM! (RSVP on Facebook)

We'll have several Gundam series to showcase during the night and some things to make the event sweeter. We'll announce full details soon, but we're ready to unveil one of Gundam series we'll be showing:



Mobile Fighter G Gundam. The first alternate universe Gundam series that bears more in common with Dragonball Z than traditional Gundam. In the future, most countries have moved into space colonies and rule of Earth is decided every four years in the Gundam Fight - a tournament with each country represented by their own Gundam.

It is amazing.

We'll have some traditional Gundam to showcase at the event as well, so don't go yelling SIEG ZEON at us just yet! We'd like for you guys to let us know what your favorite Gundam series is before we announce anything else. So please tell us in the comments section below!
