Setsucon, located in the geographical center of Pennsylvania, is a first 
time anime convention catering to the students of Penn State University 
and the surrounding community. Located at the State College Days Inn, in 
State College, PA, Setsucon is within walking distance of the University 
Park Campus (Main Campus) of Penn State University.

Setsucon is hosted by the Penn State Anime Organization (PSAO). Since 
September 2001, the PSAO has been bringing anime, manga and Japanese pop 
culture to the University Park campus. Working to provide both weekly 
screenings and a social environment for Penn State's anime/manga fan 
base, the PSAO is continually broadening its horizons. The PSAO meetings 
serve multiple functions, including our free weekly anime screenings. We 
also arrange trips to conventions, have club social events, facilitate 
DDR events on campus, and much much more!

ALSO

We are currently looking for Anime Reviewers to review anime shows on 
our new  video podcast, AnimeTV.  You can check out all the details at 
www.goanimetv.com.   We would greatly  appreciate it if you could ask 
your members if they would like to write reviews  for titles that will 
be featured on AnimeTV.  The titles listed below are the  ones we are 
reviewing currently, but this is an ongoing project and we will be  
contacting you again to review additional titles.

If you can't write in-depth reviews of all the shows, just do what you 
can, and try to score the rest based on the criteria below.

Animation/Character Design
What do you think of the animation itself? Is if innovative, new, fresh, 
interesting? Are the characters designed well? Are they different from 
other characters you've seen, or similar to others? Comment on these 
things. What you like or don't like!

Story
Here you can talk about the story in general, what you think of it, how 
it made you feel, how it was different or new or interesting. Or the 
opposite! Did the characters engage you? Did you like any of them? Hate 
any of them? Would you recommend this show to others? Do  you want to 
watch more of it? Do you hope they make more episodes? Do you think the 
writing is good? Or not so great? Is the dialogue crisp and fresh? Or 
stale and fake sounding? And things like that! This is probably one of 
the most important topics to discuss in your review.

Performances
When possible, discuss the English Language voice acting performances. 
If you don't have access to those, please consider the Japanese voice 
acting. Did you like the performances, or dislike them? Was the acting 
well done? Was it directed well in your opinion? Did the acting sound 
fake? Or natural? Any stand out performances you loved?

(23:16:55) SnowCrash51295: Sound track
How was the music? Anything memorable? Did it work for the story or 
animation? Did you notice the ambience or sound effects? Monsters? 
Anything special to discuss in this category?

These are the shows we need  reviews & scores for right now:

Samurai  Champloo
Planetes
Trinity Blood
Haré+Guu
Naruto
Fate Stay Night
Eureka Seven
Bleach
Paradise Kiss
