The next meeting will be held on Saturday, August 28, at Stella's
(1476 S. Pearl St. Denver, CO 80210) from 11:00am - 1:00pm.
Stay tuned for more details on Facebook.
Our current secretary, Adam Lisbon, is planning to step down. We would like to invite alumni interested in joining the board. The secretary maintains meeting minutes, helps keep the board's files organized, and supports the board generally with information needed to run events. All members help with sending off new cohorts of JETs, and welcoming back the newest Alumni from Japan, as well as helping host and plan events to keep our community connected and feeling Natsukashii about Japan. Adam will help train the new Secretary and make sure they feel supported.
“Reflecting on being on the JETAA Rocky Mountain board for nearly 8 years; It
really opened the door to so many great experiences and friendships. Meeting JETs
across the country, getting the chance to conduct oral histories with Colorado’s
Japanese-American community, and feeling like I had friends when I first moved
to Colorado, it has all been so meaningful, and I’m looking forward to attending
plenty more events in our chapter." - Adam Lisbon
Recommendations from JETAARM Board
This month's anime recommendations are from Teri Galvez,
JETAARM's Social Media & Branding Coordinator.
"Isekais have been the hot genre of anime for nearly the last decade,
so here are a couple fun light ones!"
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
If you’re a fan of isekais, romance, and otome games, this is a great anime for you. When a girl wakes up in the body of the villainess in an otome, she’ll do whatever it takes to change her fate and avoid the bad endings. This anime is silly and fun, with delightful characters that are slowly changing with the whirlwind personality of our main character, Catarina Claes. Now is a great time to watch it as they’re releasing new episodes for season 2 now! Available on Crunchyroll.
I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level
Aizawa Azusa died from overworking in her corporate job, and a god takes pity on her. So she reincarnates her to live an easy life in a fantasy world as an immortal witch. Now she lives her life as easily as she likes, and soon enough 300 years pass. Turns out though, her easy routine over that much time maxed out her level, and soon adventurers, dragons, and others come to see if the level 99 witch is real. Will her slow, relaxing life be over?
You can find out on Crunchyroll.
