WATERLOO, Ont. (Saturday Oct. 27, 2012) –
The University of Waterloo's Club That Really Likes Anime is celebrating its twentieth year with public screenings of anime dedicated to the history and growth of the anime culture. It will be held Saturday Oct. 27 at 12 noon until midnight in the Arts Lecture Hall at the heart of campus. Anime ranging from the famous to the niche, this event will include cosplay cafe, games, anime-themed activities, contests, music, food, and family-friendly fun.

CTRL-A acknowledges its roots in the anime showing culture- though anime is more accessible than ever in today's digital age, the desire to share the enthusiasm for the culture with others has never waned. "While CTRL-A was created to promote and serve interest in anime, over the years, like the general culture around anime, [the club] has grown and expanded to encompass many more subcultures,” says Jonathan Lai, current president of the club. “We hope to present and promote not only anime, but all these subcultures during our celebrations, bridging the gap between our beginning 20 years ago, and the present."
