Hello all! I'm Corbin your Malevolent Tyrant king! All joking aside, I'm the VP of club for now. This is my 3rd year attending UNO, I am a library science major and I still have at least 2 years to go before I get everything done. My first anime was Dragon Ball Z way before kindergarten and I've been in love with anime ever since. Some of my favorites include .HACK\/\/sign, Rurouni\u00a0Kenshin, and Persona 4: The Animation. I'm also a video game nut, more than just a little bit brash, and prone to giving people a hard time, so feel free to tell me to knock off my shit. You can normally find me in the back room gaming with some of our other members. I'm also a member of security at Anime Nebraskon and will attempt to get you all to join staff throughout the year. Hope to see you all at club this week!<\/p>\n

Tony Ianacone (Former President):<\/span>\nYour all-powerful, all-knowing, all-forgetful leader dictator for the 2010-2011 school year. A comp-sci major who'd rather spend his time doing 3D animation or hacking the Wii. Might just be under the control of the raccoon suspiciously perched upon his head...<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Brendon Renshaw (Vice President):\n<\/span><\/p>\n
I am Brendon, I've been the Veep since 2008 and I've also been involved with Anime Nebraskon for about as long and am in charge of their Karaoke segments. I'm a computer science student, I have watched 192.56 days worth of anime according to MyAnimeList.net, I play D&D and other pen and paper games, I have over 90 Star Wars Expanded Universe Novels and have read over 100 total, many multiple times. I have read all of Green Lantern since 1960 and Teen Titans since 1980. I've been known to cosplay every now and then and I do own some Gundam Models. I dare you to try and out nerd me!<\/p>\n
\"\"\nCollin Hatter (Former Treasurer):<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"\nBen Sloup (Former President, Former Secretary):<\/span>\nI am Ben: artist, anime fan, and Secretary of UNOtaku. Hajimemashite! I recall slowly and \nsteadily falling more in love with anime's style, storytelling, and uniqueness since \nelementary school; longer if you count all the Japanese video games that I loved and never knew were\nessentially derived\/inspired\/adapted from anime. I enjoy drawing; anime\/toon is my preferred style and I\nintend on making a shirt design eventually. My favorite series include but are not limited to: Ranma 1\/2, Soul Eater,\nLucky Star, Kaichou wa Maid Sama, Squid Girl, Ouran High School Host Club, Haruhi Suzumiya, \nLove Hina (manga plz) and Cowboy Bebop. Some would say I'm slightly more Sh\u014djo oriented.<\/p>\n
Also, boobs are fun and harmless so ya'll need to chill and hold your roll on the negs! \nHigh School of the Dead is a great anime. Give it a chance!<\/p>\n
\"\"\nDakota K. (Founder, Spiritual Liege):<\/span> \nDak is one of the four founding members of UNOtaku. These days, he mostly just sits around organizing games in the back room instead of being active in the UNOtaku Leadership Cabal.\nOutside of UNOtaku, Dak's interests include mathematics, beer, Dungeons & Dragons, gardening, philosophy, Team Fortress 2, and speaking in the third person. He is also something of a music connoisseur (read: snob) and runs a blog of songs and artists he likes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Currently writing anime reviews for our site.\n\"\"\nDiana Moquin:<\/span>\nHi there Everybody!! I'm Diana, Your friendly Japanese Culture informant.

I watch quite a bit of anime and read quite a bit of manga, but my favorite is Strike Witches for anime. So hard to choose...<\/p>\n<\/div><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
