St. John's Anime Film Society

Anime Society is Go!‏

2010-02-08T23:52:00.000-03:30

Hello all,

We know life hardly seems living since we cancelled last Friday's showing but you can dry your tears because we've rescheduled! We'll be having our showing this Friday instead, February 12, at 7:30 in A-1043 (note that that's 1043, not 1046. It's next door to our normal room). And we're still showing:

Letter Bee

Apparently abandoned by his mother, orphan Lag Seeing is taken as a "letter" by "Letter Bee" Gauche Suede to a town where his aunt raises him. His affection and admiration for Gauche give Lag the ambition to become a Letter Bee himself, carrying mail through the dangerous wasteland between towns on his world. When he becomes a teenager, he makes the trip to the capital to take the examination to become a trainee Letter Bee. En route, he meets the strange, powerful girl-like creature Niche, who becomes his "dingo," a Letter Bee's travelling companion. Lag yearns to find his mother, and discover why she abandoned him, if she did.

Bartender

Genius bartender, Ryu Sasakura makes the most incredible cocktails anyone has ever tasted. Seeking his "Glass of God", individuals from all different walks of life visit his bar. With both a compassionate ear and a godly drink, Ryu helps people with their problems.

Looking forward to seeing all of you that haven't been insitutionalized because of the severe emotional trauma our missed showing caused!

Anime Cancelled Tonight‏

2010-02-05T10:11:00.000-03:30

Due to the fact that MUN is closed for the rest of today, we won't be able to get in to have a showing. As well, you should stay home and be safe!

So, there's NO ANIME TONIGHT. Please don't take the risk and come out, thinking we'll be there!

~Genevieve, Society President

Anime Tonight‏

2010-02-05T09:39:00.001-03:30

Once MUN announces if it will be closed for the rest of the day, we'll let you know what's up with anime tonight. That announcement should be at about 11, so once it's up we'll be in touch again.

Exciting news!‏

2010-01-30T21:35:00.000-03:30

Hello again!

We at the exec have some rather exciting news to share with all of you. As some of you may know, former exec and current beloved member Ron runs a geek website, the Time Cave. Well, he has just finished an entire section devoted to the Anime Society and we suggest you all check it out. There's a history of the society, links to anime website resources, a language guide and much more. I've just been flicking through and I'm actually a little staggered by how much work Ron has put in. You can find it all here: http://timecave.net/anime/ Happy reading!

Anime This Friday!‏

2010-01-30T21:15:00.000-03:30

Hello all,

It's that time again! We have anime this Friday, February 5 (how the time flies!) in A-1046 at 7:30. And we're showing:

Letter Bee

Apparently abandoned by his mother, orphan Lag Seeing is taken as a "letter" by "Letter Bee" Gauche Suede to a town where his aunt raises him. His affection and admiration for Gauche give Lag the ambition to become a Letter Bee himself, carrying mail through the dangerous wasteland between towns on his world. When he becomes a teenager, he makes the trip to the capital to take the examination to become a trainee Letter Bee. En route, he meets the strange, powerful girl-like creature Niche, who becomes his "dingo," a Letter Bee's travelling companion. Lag yearns to find his mother, and discover why she abandoned him, if she did.

Bartender

Genius bartender, Ryu Sasakura makes the most incredible cocktails anyone has ever tasted. Seeking his "Glass of God", individuals from all different walks of life visit his bar. With both a compassionate ear and a godly drink, Ryu helps people with their problems.

As always, we look forward to seeing you all on Friday! (And no, just because we're showing an anime whose only theme is listed as "alcohol" doesn't mean we're all getting wasted).

~Rowena

Anime Society this Friday!‏

2010-01-18T21:37:00.000-03:30

Hello all,

Well, it seems like we just got rid of you and now we're inviting you back again! First of all, I'd like to apologize for last week's technical problems. I assure you, that has never happened before (in my memory anyway, although some of the old execs have a few horror stories) and we will do everything in our power to make sure it never happens again.

That being said, we have our next showing this week, on January 22, at 7:30 in A-1046. As has become the new tradition, we are having American Anime Night. And we're showing:

Inspector Gadget

A clumsy, simple-witted detective named Inspector Gadget is a human being with various bionic gadgets built into his body. With the aid of his niece, Penny, and dog, Brain, he fights his arch-nemesis, Dr. Claw, the leader of an evil organization, known as "M.A.D." (Yes, we know it's not strictly anime but it was animated in Japan and you can't argue with that catchy theme song).

And, of course, one more thing:

Jackie Chan Adventures

The series features the fictional adventures of Jackie Chan, who is an archaeologist, martial arts expert and reluctant sercret agent in the series. With help from his niece Jade, his grumpy old uncle (simply known as "Uncle") and his old friend Captain Black, he saves the world from evil forces that attempt to use magical artifacts to rule the world.

Hope to see you all there!

~Rowena

Anime Society This Friday!‏

2010-01-13T22:42:00.003-03:30

Hello!

Well, once again the semester has started and it's anime time! We have anime this Friday (January 15) at 7:30 in A-1046 (although that room number may be subject to change. Sorry for the late notice but, you know, the exec was totally busy saving the world from aliens while simultaneously ending world hunger and teaching Nicholas Cage how to act (we failed at one of these things; we'll let you guess which). This first showing will be a shortened showing and meet & greet to welcome new members. And we're showing:

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Two brothers lose their mother to an incurable disease. With the power of "alchemy", they use taboo knowledge to resurrect her. The process fails, and as a toll for using this type of alchemy, the older brother, Edward Elric loses his left leg while the younger brother, Alphonse Elric loses his entire body. To save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm and is able to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. With the help of a family friend, Edward receives metal limbs - "automail" - to replace his lost ones. With that, Edward vows to search for the Philosopher's Stone to return the brothers to their original bodies, even if it means becoming a "State Alchemist", one who uses his/her alchemy for the military.

Also, to all of last semester's trivia winners: we will hopefully have your posters this Friday. Hope to see you all then!

~Rowena

Important Notice!

2009-09-18T16:50:00.001-02:30

Hey everyone!

Sorry to do this to all of you, but we're delaying the tape library sale until next week. The condition of the tapes is a bit questionable, given their age, so we're going to play it safe and keep them dry. We promise they'll be there next week though, still $1 each!

Hopefully you'll all forgive us!

New Semester of Anime!

2009-09-17T22:13:00.001-02:30

Hello all you lovely people,

It's that time again: the start of a new semester, which means it's time for more anime! We have quite a lengthy list of announcements this time around so please bear with me.

Secondly, we are once again looking for a new exec member! If you think you've got what it takes (it's grueling, I assure you) drop us a line at this address telling us why you'd like to be on the exec and what you think you can bring to it. The application period ends promptly at 5:00pm on October 9th and we hope to announce the new exec that evening so get your applications in pronto!

And, finally, we are once again starting showings this semester. Our first showing is on September 18 at 7:30pm in A-1046 (room may be subject to change but we'll let you know). As some of you know, our first showing of the semester is a Meet & Greet type affair so we'll only be showing one anime. And we're showing classic director Hayao Miyazaki's latest film:

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

A young boy, Sōsuke, befriends a strange looking goldfish whom he names Ponyo. Unbeknownst to Sōsuke, Ponyo is a magic fish who has decided that she wants to live with Sōsuke and the other humans. Unfortunately, Ponyo's decision to give up her underwater life creates a crack in an ancient magic spell, and places the world in danger. Together, Sōsuke and Ponyo must set things right.

Also, I am excited to announce that during the showing, the Anime Society will be selling off its tape collection! As most of you know, we have an extensive tape library of anime but lately it's become more trouble than it's worth so we are selling it off (and, if one exec member has her way, using the money to finance a dance party). Although I can't guarantee the quality of every tape, each one will only cost $1 and we have everything from Weiss Kreuz to Record of Lodoss War to Card Captor Sakura. So, come one, come all!

I believe that's all the announcements for now. If you have any questions, feel free to email the society. And, as always, we hope to see you all there on Friday!

Last Showing of the Semester!

2009-08-04T18:43:00.000-02:30

Hey everyone, it's that time again! Exams are next week (oh no!) and the summer is starting to clue up. That means that THIS FRIDAY, August 7th, at 7:30, we're having our last showing!

WE'LL BE IN ED-1014, IN THE BASEMENT OF THE EDUCATION BUILDING. AND THE T-SHIRTS ARE FINALLY HERE!!!!! For more details, please see the end of the e-mail.

We're showing (with a 14+ rating):

Valkryia Chronicles

When Imperial forces attack the small border town of Bruhl, Welkin Gunther, son of late General Belgen Gunther, is forced to fight for his life alongside Town Watch captain Alicia Melchiott. Along with Welkin's adopted sister Isara, the three escape to Gallia's capitol and subsequently join the country's militia forces. As members of the newly-formed Squad 7, they must work to repel the invading Imperial forces and discover the true purpose of the invasion itself.

and Tears to Tiara

Set in a fictitious land during a medieval-like era of magic and fantasy, Tears to Tiara unfolds with the Divine Empire’s rise to power as it conquers and rules lands far and wide. On the island of Erin, still ruled by the Ancient Kingdom, the Goidelic people are attempting to sacrifice priestess Riannon to revive protagonist and demon king Arawn to lead the resistance against the Empire. Although the ritual fails and Riannon survives, the seal imprisoning the demon king is broken and Arawn is resurrected. Armed with mysterious and devastating powers and a human’s demeanour, Arawn joins Riannon, her brother and battalion commander, Arthur, as well as their team of fighters, in the epic struggle against the Divine Empire.

Regarding T-Shirts: If you pre-paid for your shirts, we have your order form, and you can just pick up your shirt. If we don't remember who you are, a piece of ID would be good. ^_^ If you did not order a shirt, we have a limited number available for purchase, in various sizes. These shirts are being sold for $15 each, on a first-come-first-served basis (contact via e-mail is recommended if you can't be there on Friday). If you can't make it to Friday's show, don't worry, we'll have them with us in September!

Hopefully we'll see you on Friday!

Sci-Fi on the Rock 3

2009-04-24T10:44:00.000-02:30

Hello everyone!

The Anime Society will have a table this weekend at Sci-Fi On the Rock 3, which is being held at the Holiday Inn. We're also giving a costuming workshop on each day! There's also a costume contest on Sunday, for those of you who want to show off what you've done. We'd love to see you all drop by and say hello, and support our local convention! For more details, check out www.scifiontherock.com!

Hopefully we'll see you there!

Midterm Fest!

2009-02-15T22:32:00.001-03:30

Well, time has flown and one again it's time for midterm break and the fest! The fest this semester will be taking place from Feb 20-22 in our normal room (A-1046) at our normal time (7:30). However, there's a slight change this semester, as we are showing two series.

And we're showing:

Night Wizard (Friday night episodes 1-9, Saturday 10-13)

Night Wizard. A term given to those whose mission is to protect the world from impending darkness. Renji Hiiragi is one such Night Wizard, who is constantly called on missions, even though all he wants is to be able to go to school and graduate. However, his latest order was to protect Elis Shiho, who is a new transfer student at his academy. Being dragged into the Astronomy Club by Renji's childhood friend, Kureha Akabane on her first day at school, Elis soon realises that she too, has the power to become a night wizard, after possessing one of seven secret Jewels, the Jewel of Kindness. Along with Renji and Kureha, Elis now begins her fight and her new life, as a Night Wizard.

Lemon Angel Project (Saturday night episodes 1-5, Sunday 6-13)

Lemon Angel was once the greatest girl band of Japan, but then it broke up and most of its members vanished. When a music producer decides to put together a new Lemon Angel, average high schooler Tomo Minaguchi is approached to audition for the group. Little does she know of the mystery behind the original Lemon Angel...

As always, we're looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Anime RPG

2009-02-05T08:36:00.002-03:30

Because I forgot to mention it in the previous post, this gets its own.

The Society has booked off a table at Veni Vedi Vici '09, and we're running Ron's Anime RPG at it. This game is open to as many people as the table will fit, and the rules can be found at http://www.timecave.net/animerpg/ . We request that if you decide to play you read through the rules and think up an original character.

See you on Saturday!

Team Diabetes Canada Fundraiser

2009-02-03T19:06:00.002-03:30

Hello everyone!

Veni Vedi Vici '09 is a fundraiser being held for Team Diabetes this Saturday, organized by one of the community's gamers. The Mount Pearl Soccer Association Clubhouse has been rented out, and is going to be set up with tables and chairs for the afternoon of February 7th, starting at noon. Admission is $5, and food will be avaliable for purchase, all profits going to Team Diabetes Canada. Supposedly there will also be door prizes.

The theory is that you bring your own games or whatever, and hang out for the afternoon. Hopefully we can show our support for this - grab your boardgames, PHBs, minis, cards, dice, paints (don't get it on the floor. end of story), whatever, and come along! Personally, I'll be there! Any questions can be directed to Colin, the organiser, at 728-1452 or cwelland@canada.com, or you can contact us - we'll answer if we can, and find out the answer if we can't!

La-bu La-bu!!

2009-02-03T18:40:00.002-03:30

This Friday is Valentine's at the Anime Society! So, February 6 at 7:30 in A-1046, as per usual.

We'll start off with some comic unrequited love, and then move on to something that works out for our heroine. To that end, we're showing:

Itazura na Kiss

In the romantic comedy story, a high school girl named Kotoko finally tells a fellow senior named Naoki that she has loved him from afar since she saw him on their first day of high school. However, Naoki, a haughty "super-ikemen" (handsome male) with smarts and sports talent, rejects her offhand. Fate intervenes when a mild earthquake ruins Kotoko's family house. While the house gets rebuilt, Kotoko and her dad stay at the home of her dad's childhood friend...

Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card

All of the Clow Cards have been captured, and Sakura Kinomoto, the new Master of the Cards, is preparing to play the lead in the play for the town festival. However, a new evil force is causing mysterious events all over Tomoeda, including the disappearance of Sakura's cards. With Syaoran's help, Sakura must figure out the cause of these events, and save her town.

A new semester of anime begins!

2009-01-09T20:17:00.001-03:30

Hello everyone and welcome to a new semester of anime! For those who don't know, I'm the new Anime Society Secretary and I'll be doing the emails from now on.

We're back in our normal room this semester (A-1046). Our first showing is next Friday, Jan 16. As per our usual, it will be a Movie Night and Meet and Greet. The showing will begin at 7:30 and we'll announce our plans for the semester afterwards.

We'll be showing Bleach 2: The DiamondDust Rebellion (note that this is not the movie shown in theatres last semester)

A valuable artifact known as "King's Seal" is stolen by a mysterious group of people during transport in Soul Society. Hitsugaya Toushiro, the 10th division captain of Gotei 13, who is assigned to transport the seal fights the leader of the group and shortly after goes missing. After the incident, Seireitei declares Hitsugaya a traitor and orders the capture and execution of Hitsugaya. Kurosaki Ichigo refuses to believe this, and along with Matsumoto Rangiku, Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji swear to uncover the real mastermind of the stolen seal, find Hitsugaya and clear his name. Meanwhile, a rogue Hitsugaya searches for the perpetrators and uncovers a dark secret regarding a long dead shinigami.

Also, this semester we've decided to try something new and we're having several Theme Nights, rather than just our normal showings. These are as follows:

Jan 23-American Anime Night

Feb 6-Valentine's Day/Cheesy Romance Night

March 6 - Live Action Anime Night (stop adjusting your monitor, you read it right the first time)

This is new this semester and we're hoping everyone enjoys it! Feel free to give us some feedback (especially positive. We love having our egos stroked).

Hope to see everyone next Friday!

~ Rowena, Anime Society Secretary

Oops. <.<

2008-11-28T16:46:00.000-03:30

Sorry for the excessively late notice. Papers and whatnot have been overwhelming this week.

Tonight is our last showing of the semester, 7:30, A-1043.

We're having Trivia, open to members (only $5). Maybe non-members as well, to get a good bunch of people. We'll see....

To accommodate Trivia, we're doing a half-showing.

We're screening Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, a Miyazaki film.

In the post-apocalyptic future, large parts of the world have been swallowed up by forests of poisonous fungi. The remaining humans live near the fungus and its monstrous insectoid inhabitants, trying to prevent its spread. One of the human kingdoms, the peaceful Valley of Wind, loves its gentle Princess Nausicaä and her father the king, but their peace is about to be broken, as they are swallowed up in the machinations of their larger, warmongering neighbours. However, Nausicaä has hidden potential, and may yet change the fate of the world.

Hopefully we'll see you tonight!

Member's Choice Night is Friday!

2008-11-11T12:14:00.000-03:30

Hey everyone!

There's anime again this week, Friday the 14th, in A-1043 at 7:30.

As it's Member's Choice Night, the exec. didn't select this week's anime. We're rating this showing 14+. And now...we're Screening...

The Wallflower (Rowena's Choice)

Kyouhei, Ranmaru, Takenaga, and Yukinojou are beautiful, handsome, young men living in a huge mansion. One day, their landlord, whom they call "Auntie", asks them a favor: to make her niece, Sunako, who's going to be living with them, into a respectable young lady. She agrees to make their living expenses free of charge if they succeed, but if they fail, she'll triple their rent. Due to their confidence in knowing how to deal with women, they agree, but once they meet Sunako, they begin to realize that their lovely living arrangements may soon be in jeopardy.

and Jing: King of Bandits (Duane's Choice)

Jing may appear to be a young boy, but his remarkable skills make him one of the most feared thieves on the planet. Along with his feathered partner Kir, Jing travels from town to town, stealing anything of value regardless of the amount of security. But when he's in a pinch, he has one more trick up his sleeve: Kir bonds with Jing's right arm to perform the effectively deadly "Kir Royale" attack. And because of all this, Jing is infamously known by many as the "King of Bandits."

Hopefully we'll see you all on Friday! A Reminder to our member's who got their choices, please don't forget to bring your anime with you!

And we have a showing!

2008-10-29T21:29:00.001-02:30

So, we've figured everything out!

We're showing Kaibutsu Oujo and Boogiepop Phantom!

Kaibustu Oujo, or Monster Princess

Since Hiro Hiyorimi's parents died, he and his sister Sawawa have lived apart. Now, Sawawa has gotten a new job as the caretaker of a creepy old mansion, and has sent Hiro a letter asking him to come and stay there with her. Finding the mansion boarded up and apparently empty, Hiro wanders around town looking for Sawawa. Instead, he runs into the new resident of the mansion, and ends up pushing her out of the way of some falling steel beams. Unfortunately, he loses his own life in the process. Luckily, or perhaps unluckily, the person he thought he saved turns out to be a princess of the monster kingdom, and she grants him a second life...but only for as long as he will be her servant.

Boogiepop Phantom

A light in the sky, followed by a strange aura and grisly murders. Each character tells there own connection to the event and to a similar murder spree 5 years ago. All of the different stories are slowly tied together by seemingly minute similarities and the story of Boogiepop is unraveled.

Hopefully we'll see you guys on Friday!

Halloween Showing!

2008-10-28T11:34:00.000-02:30

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in getting this out to you. We've been working hard to find some "scary" anime to watch this Friday!

Please note, there will be a costume contest, given that it's Halloween, so we expect to see you dressed up!

So, A-1043, 7:30. This Friday, October 31st, Halloween!!!

And we're showing....something? We haven't quite made a final decision on what this week's showing will be, but I promise that we'll let you know! As a guess, this showing will likely be rated at 14+.

Hopefully we'll see you all on Friday, for some Halloween goodness!

Anime on Friday!

2008-09-21T12:29:00.001-02:30

Hey everyone, sorry about the delay in getting this week's e-mail out. Schoolwork, and all that.

This Friday we'll be back in A-1043, at 7:30.

We're bringing you....

Fushigi Yuugi

Miaka Yuuki, an average middle school student caught up in studying for exams, is sucked into an ancient Chinese novel titled "The Universe of Four Gods". There she discovers that she is in an ancient country in what is now China, Konan, and is to be the Priestess of one of the four gods, Suzaku. As the priestess, her duty is to gather the Seven Seishi of Suzaku, who are to be her protectors. Once they are gathered, the priestess will summon the god Suzaku and bring peace between the warring lands, Konan and Kutou. But it's harder than it seems. Along the road, many hardships are faced, as Miaka's best friend Yui Hongo enters the book and becomes her rival, the priestess of Seiryuu in the land of Kutou. Who summons their god first is up to the courage and skill of the priestesses and their seishi, as they meet triumphs and tragedies along the way.

and Eureka Seven

Renton Thurston is a 14-year-old boy who lived with his mechanic grandfather in a backwater town. Every day he dreamed of being with the mercenary "Light Finding Operation (LFO)" aircraft pilot group "Gekkostate" and riding "Trapar" particle waves-- a sport called "reffing"-- with their charismatic leader Holland, especially when faced with his father's acclaimed past or his grandfather's desire to protect him. When a young girl named Eureka riding the original LFO, the "Nirvash typeZERO", asks his grandfather for a tune-up, she inadvertently brings the attention of the military to the garage; as a result, the garage is destroyed and Renton is forced to deliver a new type of interface-- the "Amita Drive"-- to the Nirvash. After a heated fight in which the Nirvash destroys the military LFOs by unleashing an immense amount of power, Renton is invited into Gekkostate. However, he quickly realizes that behind the facade of a traveling group of mercenaries is a very bitter reality.

Re: Death Note

2008-09-15T22:42:00.000-02:30

To those of you who attended Death Note tonight, my apologies for the mess. To make it a little better, I do have an explanation, and also the most sincere apologies of the Event Manager, and tonight's Floor Manager.

Earlier today, the sound for Death Note was checked, but these checks usually only run a couple of minutes into the movie's file - if you remember, the background sound did work, we were only missing the major voices. (These are two different sound tracks within the file.) So the check had everything appear fine. Unknown to the manager looking after everything tonight, an e-mail noting that the director's voice may be missing in the pre-show due to certain program settings, and the changes that needed to be made, was sent out earlier today. While you all watched a voice-less pre-show, this method was attempted four or five times. It was eventually discovered (as you know, about 15 minutes in) that certain OTHER settings were incorrect. Clearly, they were changed to whatever it is they should be, and we had sound.

So, it appears that this was a lack of communication, and some wierd program stuff. *shrug* Such is life, I suppose, when dealing with technology.

Once again, my apologies for everything. Sadly, the Society was only involved as you saw us - we did the costume contest, and got to plug what we do. The planning and execution of tonight was out of our control.

Also, I have been assured that the Bleach movie, to be screened October 20th, will not have any of these problems. I expect that the sound check will be VERY thorough. The manager tonight was quite upset.

Hopefully this hasn't turned you off Empire Theatres' anime nights, we're working towards getting them more regularly.

Thanks!

Fall Semester 2008 Begins!

2008-09-09T17:01:00.002-02:30

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new semester of anime!

This semester we've changed rooms and can be found in A-1043, in the Arts and Administration Atrium. As usual, we'll be found there at 7:30pm on Fridays - not every Friday though!

We're starting showings this Friday, September 12th. As we've been doing, this will be a Movie Night and Meet & Greet. We'll start the movie at 7:30, then give you all the run-down on our plans for the semester!

Given our failed attempt to get Brave Story off of Chris' external hard drive this summer, we're going to show it on Friday! (Yes, we do have a copy that we can get at, now!)

When 11 year old Wataru's father leaves home and his mother is taken ill to hospital, he decides to change his fate by travelling through the door shown to him by his friend Mitsuru. In a land of magic and monsters, Wataru must summon all his courage and embark on a journey with several comrades to meet the Goddess of Destiny and change this "mistaken fate".

Hopefully we'll see you on Friday!

P.S. - A copy of this post was sent out to our mailing list. If you signed up and did not receive an e-mail, or would like to sign up now, please e-mail us at munanime@gmail.com and let us know!

But once she makes herself known by standing up for her friend to the F4, the 4 most popular, powerful and rich boys at the school she gets the red card - F4's way of a "Declaration of War". But when she doesn't let herself be beaten by them and is starting to fall for one of the F4 - Hanazawa Rui. She starts to see that there is more than meets the eye...

and Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
After Colony 196 - One year has passed since the war between Earth and its colonies ended. Heero, Duo, Trowa and Quatre bid farewell to their Gundams and jettison them to the sun. Relena Darlian is now the deputy minister of the Earth Sphere Unified Nation. But as the Gundam pilots are adjusting to the peace on Earth, Relena is kidnapped and a new threat appears, led by Marimeia Khushrenada - daughter of the late dictator Treize Khushrenada and heir to the Barton Foundation. To make matters more complicated, Gundam Nataku pilot Wufei has sided with this faction. The Gundam pilots must recover their mobile suits and once again engage in battle before Marimeia's forces succeed on their bid for global domination.

Hopefully we'll see you all tomorrow!!

Anime on Friday!

2008-07-16T16:27:00.000-02:30

Hello everyone!

Our second-last showing of the summer is this coming Friday, in A-1046 at 7:30 pm. It's amazing how fast the semester has gone by!

This showing is an Adult Only 18+ showing. We're showing...

They Are My Noble Masters (Rated 18+ for suggestive themes and mature content) (Comedy)

Due to family troubles, Ren Uesugi and his sister, Mihato, leave their home. They end up moving to the city but find themselves with a lack of money. Somehow they are able to find work in the form of the Kuonji family's mansion, and are employed as servants to the three sisters of the Kuonji family: Shinra, Miyu, and Yume. Being a butler also associates Ren with the mansion's additional servants and the Kuonji sisters' friends. Please note that in this world, butlers have super powers, and...interesting duties.

and tentatively Dragon Drive (we are not entirely certain of the availability of this, therefore a substitute may be used. We should know about this fairly soon.)

Oozora Reiji isn't a lazy boy, he's just terribly unmotivated; all the clubs and activities he's joined don't interest him for long. That is, of course, until his best friend Yukino takes him to a underground arcade where an unbelievable virtual reality game is played - Dragon Drive - in which players fight each other with virtual dragons. Reiji ends up throwing all he's got into training a dragon so rare that the Dragon Drive staff are baffled. But soon Reiji learns that Dragon Drive isn't all it seems, and he might be the only one who can save an entire world from evil.

Android Ana Maico 2010 (Comedy) is an alternative

In the year 2010, the Japanese radio industry is in decline. To reverse their flagging ratings, a station staffed with perennial losers makes a daring gamble: to hire the industry's first android on-air host. Maico is cute, but it will take more than novelty to win over the fickle audience -- especially with a crew as inept as this one.

Hopefully we'll see you there!
