The Morango Basin (of So. Cal.) Manga & Anime Association
"Mo Bas Manganime" TM

"A different type of Anime club for a different type of Anime fan."  Now what is that supposed to mean ?  Come & find out ; plus it just sounds good also. (-:

What is Manga & Anime, & what is it not ?  [click here] to find out if you do not already know (& even if you do know).

A public club for Manga & Anime fans & artist in the Yucca Valley, Morango Valley, Joshua Tree, Johnson Valley, Flamingo Heights, Yucca Mesa, Copper Mountain Mesa, or _ of California.
Those in the Cochella Valley are very welcome to attend meetings & join the club.
You do not need to live in the Morango Basic or even California to be a member ; members are accepted world wide.
Finally, an Anime club in the M.B. (since 2004).

The club meets (to be determined).

No meetings have been established yet.  Contact us for more information.

Sometimes last minute (or hour(s)) circumstances may cause a meeting not to happen. I will provide telephone numbers &/or other contact information to check to see if a meeting will go on or not. I am not going to post that information on an open web page ; please e-mail me for that information (e-mail add. is later on this page).

Meetings & viewings are FREE.  Parking is free also.
Membership cost is $10 per year ($12 for an engaged or married couple in the same household) which includes a monthly newsletter.

We show movies & series, of course, but we also let attendees "take the floor" & talk about or show anything Manga or Anime related. If we are lucky, we sometimes have a guest speaker. Open yet orderly discussions are sometimes part of the meetings also. In the future, there may be raffles.

Attendees are also invited to bring video(s) they would like to have shown as long as arrangements are made with the organizer. (Subtitled is preferred, straight Japanese ("raw") is OK, dubs only if we are that desperate. It does not matter if it is commercial or not since there is no charge for viewing. It also does not matter if it is a fan sub of something that now is commercially subbed or dubbed for the same reason.)

Features for the next meeting :
    None, no meetings yet.

Please read this paragraph &/or this statement & the part that follows it if you are uncomfortable with "raws" or think it may be a waste of time. (Click on the links.)

Staff or whatever you want to call us (me) :
> "the strange & weird" S.G. (a.k.a "who or what the hell is that") - just about everything.  His Manga & Anime page.  To e-mail him ; 2nd e-mail.

The meetings sometimes have this type of atmosphere :

Hey, where is Azalyn ?!

E - mail : Anime Pet or Pet Anime @ AOL.com  (Note to Hotmail & MSN mail users : If you e-mail me & do not get a reply (if a reply was warranted) in a reasonable amount of time, it is because my reply (or other e-mail(s)) can not get to you. Unfortunetly, Hotmail & MSN blocks & filters are so strong it/they block wanted e-mail &/or e-mail that is not "spam".)
Please, send only e-mail pertaining to the subject of this page. NO "junk" e-mail, e-mail with a porn. site, etc. You will just be wasting your time & mine (; a "remove" message is all you will be getting, if any at all).

This club is non-profit.

Yes this club was started & run by the same person that started & runs Pomona Valley Manga & Anime Association.

"Blowing our own horn" section. The type of stuff you would read or hear in an advertisement.
> "We do not induce deafness or make your ears bleed at these meetings (yet you can still hear the presentation, even if someone is talking or laughing)."
> "One of the best sounding Anime showings around, due to the host being an audiophile & involved in pro. audio, studio, & premium home systems & set ups (& using very well designed & very well made equipment also)." (Too bad this guy is not on the video room staff of the conventions.)
> "Here you can enjoy those ending songs (or use that time to chat alittle before the next thing starts)."
> "A regular treat : Japanese commercials !"
> "What is the big hurry ?  Relax & enjoy (for a change)."
> "(Alot) more than just showing videos."
> "Wow, park within a few meters (or yards) of the meeting room !"
> "Wheelchair accessable."
> "Hey, you may learn a thing or two or more about airplanes &/or aviation if you are willing to."
> "Do not worry, you are not the one on the menu."
