Next Club Meeting: October 18, 2025, 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.

Art reflects life, reflects art, reflects life...



Snail's House - うたかた (utakata) [MV]
The stars and constellations represent art, in every capacity. We find profound meaning in the arbitrary positions of stars in the sky, but in the same way, we're all stars, and we connect with each other to form beautiful and intricate webs of people. Snail-chan isn't really a magical snail girl (at least in this story), she's the childlike whimsy and wonder that we find in the world around us, and she COMES from the stars / sky (representing connections with other people). Art is the catalyst that reignites that whimsy and brings us closer to the people who are important to us.
