CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

PostPosted: **Sat Jan 22, 2005 6:09 pm**

I noticed that a new anime store opened near where I live(more accurately speaking, closer to me than AnimePop). Well, I guess this is mostly news for those living in Richardson/Plano TX....

The store's name is Studio Anime and it is near the UTD campus.

Now, the weird thing is...... As I was walking into the store, I got this feeling that I was walking right pass some fellow CAA members(yes, it was like rather strange I think). Those ppl exited shortly after I entered the store. I was in the shop at around saturday noonish.

Well, that was a little bit random but I don't think its goofy enough for the goof off threads.

I wondering if anyone was (by some random coincidence) at that store at around the same time I was. Or, perhaps it was just my weird imagination. lol

I haven't seen much for anime stores in my area (I live in CO in case you don't know). I can think of two off the top of my head. One was ok if I recall, but I'd have to visit it again to give a really opinion. The other, "ANIMEniacs" or whatever, is bootleg central. Just about everywhere you look. People were watching fan-subbed Naruto on TV, which isn't even licensed in the US yet. There was a 3 disc Trigun box set as well. Then there were racks and racks of bootleg CDs. Plus the store was just gross spiritually. The woman at the cash register was dark in a spiritual sense, and what was interesting was that she couldn't even look at my mom when she talked. She just couldn't. My parents are good Christians, and I guess she was intimidated by the Holy Spirit in my mom's eyes. I don't remember, for all I know she probably had some demons and the demons in her were scared. It's kind of hard to describe. But it was interesting.
Anyway, I have never had an experience like yours, SeaAndStars. Interesting though.

lol it could be possible. Perhaps you live in the same state other CAA members live in.

more than likely you ran into true_noir_chloe. she lives in that area. :]

It couldn't have been me - I've been placed under house arrest from visiting anime stores. :eyeroll:

I spent waaaayyyyyy too much money at Anime Pop during Christmas. :grin:

It was fun while it lasted. :evil:

Actually, I've heard about this store from Jen at Anime Pop and she and the other gals there were saying that they've heard the store is run by... get this... people who aren't into anime... Can you believe it? :wow!:

They say it is a cold and listless environment. (-_-)\...so sad

You've met Hikari-chan before, right TSaS?

Jeikobu,

I understand what u r saying.

--

Sometimes ppl can't look at me either or sometimes I have a calming effect on ppl. When God is in us, it has an effect on the ppl around us.

--

There are times when I sense the presense of the Holy Spirit in ppl also.
Sometimes I meet someone who just seems to glow from the inside
and u get an unmistakable feeling that they also know the Truth.

--

These ppl just randomly brighten my day sometimes with
just a smile or when I look into their eyes.

--

The presence of God is seen in both vissible(our actions) and invissible(spirit).

--

Although, I don't know if detecting CAA members can fall into that amazing category. Maybe it counts too. ^__^

ShiroiHikari,

You could be right.

I think that is one of several possibilities.

1. Could be true_noir_chloe

2. Could be another CAA member

3. TheSeaAndStars had a random imagination attack while at the store. lol

--

Either way it is, me thinks its groovy.

true_noir_chloe,

I spent a lil too much at Anime Pop resently. I know the feeling. ^_^

--

I wouldn't consider Studio Anime's environment to be cold and listless. Although, it has that new store feeling(not as fully loaded as AnimePoP). Its only been open for barely a month I guess. Also, its owned by a former UTD student.

--

I have not had the honor of meeting Hikari-chan yet. I am not in the Richardson area or Richardson Square Mall as often as I used too. And, I yam currently not gonna send myself on a long CAA member finding quest................yet. I am sure we will all meet eventually.

regards ^__^

On an administrative note, please keep this thread to talking about if you were at the aforementioned store at the right time, NOT how animeniacs is run by demons or anything of the like, ok? Otherwise, this will get closed.

Agentsmith, maybe I didn't make myself very clear. Please keep this thread about the anime store TheSeanadStars mentioned and not any others.

Wow. Aka-chan! Sunako! Koko-chan! Call the fan girl pack off of Mr. SP. We have a more deserving victim of our maximum fury!

Actually, I can only imagine how interesting is must be trying to get some help from the clerk.

Anime person: So, is this thing subbed or dubbed?

Manager: Subbed? Dubbed? That doesn't have anything to do with sandwiches does it?

Anime person: Um, no.

Manager: Then I don't know crud about it.

You've probably heard of it before in passing - it's a very popular place to host businesses *cough* Enron *cough*

My company is headquartered there as well. Now that I know it is also home to anime stores, perhaps being sent there wouldn't be so bad. If my company ever drags me down south, I'll have to spend my paychecks there.

Anyway, I've had feelings like that before, go to store, have strange feelings like a familiar presents is around you. Turns out I just had to go to the bathroom.

so serious, then cracking a last minute joke eh volt?

But about a week ago I had the strangest feeling a CAA member was within a 1 mile radius of me. Dunno, someone familiar, I could sense it. But I say we make it manditory that all CAA members wear tracking devices. Then we'd be able to find each other

Yeah, and then, if we ever got in the same store with eachother, we could run around like idiots shouting "She's in here somewhere! I know she is!". And then we could both get hauled off by security together. It could be a board bonding experience.

I'm all for it.

It would be too funny if several of us have passed eachother without knowing it, though.

PostPosted: **Sat Jan 29, 2005 4:20 am**

I think someone here saw me and didn't say anything, because I was wearing a t-shirt I'd made that had Kenshin and CAA on it. They looked at it for a really long time (we were just standing there), blinked at me, smiled a little, then left...huh.

hahaha now thats sorta funny Well I met Kevin last night at a showing of Gost in the Shell!

Seeing as I live in so-cal near many members of the board... it's entirely possible.
