We have dealers, video gaming, anime screening, an Artist Alley, DDRing, roleplaying, card-gaming, along with many events such as a masquerade, pub-quiz, parties, special guests (Roppongi Street are announced with more to come!) and much more! We will be running three to four times a year! IMPORTANT - We are an 18 and over event! - If you want a member badge and don't want to queue on the day then you MUST register and pay beforehand! It only costs £5 for the entire day. Go to http://www.animeleague.com/london/registration.php to register! - It is not mandatory to register, but priority entrance will be given to those who do (ie: unless you're really lazy, it's a very good idea to register and pay the fiver beforehand). If you need help with accommodation, we give it on our website under the accommodation and travel section. Still stuck? Then just ask us and we're happy to help you out! The more we can get to this, the merrier! Want to Help Us Out? We need as MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE to help advertise this and get as many people as possible attending ALCL! So, if you want to help out, simply email us on info@animeleague.com and we'll see what you can do! We'll be shortly getting 10,000 ALCL flyers printed, so if you want to help there, that'd be fantastic. Asides from that, simple word of mouth and facebook works wonders! We NEED to ensure that London has a really successful anime club, so the more people we can have helping with this project, the more chance it'll have of being a massive success!" |

| Funimation discusses leaked episodes | Sat, 6 Jun 2009 |
|
ANN interviewed Funimation's CEO Gen Fukunaga. Here a few highlights:
About the leaked episodes: "After going over the sequence of events, we know that human error and flaws in our internal processes are ultimately to blame." Posible actions against groups / individuals who copy episodes from them and upload to torrent sites: We aren't going to call out any specific group. Such groups generally operate undercover. Only handle names are given and groups like to keep their secrets. It is difficult to track these groups down, but not impossible. We are currently gathering evidence against any group involved in this practice and are taking the necessary steps for enforcement of our rights. What's the impact on legal streaming?Overall, this event and the continuing problem of the illegal download and distribution of anime series could make many licensors resistant to the simulcast of their series. We understand how serious a concern these leaks are for our Japanese partners- to the broadcasters, sponsors, and consortium members. We are confident that we have implemented changes which address the security issues, but we must work to regain their trust.
