Last month I held a viewing party on Netflix for the anime movie "A Silent Voice". Seeing as it was the month of love a romance movie seemed in order. Though the turnout was not huge it was filled with passionate anime fans and engaging discussion, as some were watching the movie for the first time. We discussed what we liked, what we thought could be improved and what made us cry. We swapped anime recommendations and personal favourites. It was definitely a fun night to be remembered and I hope to see some returning faces at my next event just as much as I hope to see new faces. 

Please join me this month as we celebrate 25 years of Pokémon as we watch the original series (something that holds a special place in my heart personally and I hope it means just as much to you) and hold optional battles in Pokémon Sword and Shield. My ghost-type team is accepting all challengers! RSVP here.
