By Katherine Luther, About.com

April Showers, April Fools, April Anime.

Private Screenings

Do you have an anime club that you'd like to take to the next level? Why not offer free screenings of upcoming anime releases from Bandai Entertainment? Through its A.Addict program, anime clubs can receive monthly packages of up and coming anime goodies... perfect ingredients to make your club meetings a success.

Free Downloads

In case you've lost track of your anime freebies calendar, Detective Story, Part 3 of The Animatrix is now available for download. You can also find Parts 1 and 2 here in case you missed them and Part 4 (The Second Renaissance Part 2) will be out in May 2003. And for those of you who haven't seen The Animatrix yet, do it now. Right now.. really... go right this minute...

On the Big Screen

And lest we not forget the little Cowboy Bebop bonanza. Cowboy Bebop: The Movie opened Friday, April 4th at theaters nationwide. Have you seen it yet? Drop me a note and let me know what you thought... if you can sling out a gripping review, I just might post it here :)

Also on the big screen is Hayao Miyazaki's (Princess Mononoke) Spirited Away, the story of ten-year old Chi and her mystical adventure. Produced by John Lasseter (Pixar) and directed by Disney guru Kirk Wise (Beauty and the Beast), Spirited Away promises to be another anime great.

Party, party!!

Those of you in Orlando, FL will want to pay attention to this one: In one of the final home games of the season, Score Entertainment, the Orlando Magic and FUNimation Productions, Ltd. are teaming up to bring the NBA and the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game together for one explosive event! See the official vehicle of the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game - the DBZ CCG HUMMER -- and meet the voices behind two of their favorite Dragon Ball Z characters - Vegeta and Majin Buu. T-shirts, videos, games and other free goodies will be available as well as copies of Shonen Jump. All this takes place on April 9th, with the festivities start at 4:30 p.m. in front of the TD Waterhouse Centre in Orlando, FL. Need info?
