Next Club Meeting: April 20, 2024, at the Fountaindale Public Library in Bolingbrook from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Animatrix Network is an anime & manga fan club located in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. We usually meet on the third Saturday of each month (except when holidays or conventions coincide). The meetings are free and open to the public. Join us for a day filled with anime.

This site provides news, reviews, commentaries, and previews of the world of anime and everything it inspires, such as live-action films, comics, music, art, and other weird things to enjoy and contemplate.

Today is Star Wars Day!

Why celebrate Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you, remember?) by just rewatching the Star Wars movies when you can celebrate by starring in one of them? To honor the holiday, Lucasfilm has teamed up with JibJab to allow us to create our own personalized versions of The Empire Strikes Back.

Visit JibJab or starwars.com, upload headshots of you and your friends to play the roles of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian, click Play, and you'll appear in a two-minute retelling of the best film (right?) in the Star Wars saga. [Source: SciFi.com]

May the farce be with you!

Hilarious video of Darth Vader recording a GPS voice!
We know it's an ad, but it's very funny and it is Star Wars day: this commercial for the TomTom GPS device featuring an inept Darth Vader, below.

It's part of the company's promotion for the British TomTom device, featuring voices of Star Wars characters.

Can you imagine getting live directions from the Dark Lord of the Sith?
