For this weekend’s meeting, we’re giving you guys a couple ‘a new options. First is Y-Quart, which involves a psychic detective, a superheroine, a conjurer, and a regular guy. They fight crime. Second is White Album, which introduces us to the lesser-known problems of dating a rising Idol. I’ve not seen either of these, so feel free to educate me.

Youtube opening clips follow the break:

Yozakura Quartet

White Album

Kaiba

Kemono no Souja Erin

CHAOS; HEAD

Viper’s Creed

But what to vote on? Well, following the break are your options–each titles is linked to pertinent information about the anime. There’s also some Youtube footage to give you a taste of the shows (lots of it–take heed if your computer is slow). Polls close Friday at 12:01am, so don’t delay!

The showing’s tonight at the Century 14 Downtown across from the Bus Station! Check the trailer, and then check out the whole film at 7:30pm (tickets are available online for $12.50). My Impromptu Japanese Final may keep me from attending, but that remains to be seen, so lemme know in the comments if you’re going!

This Saturday, Sam Goody in Coronado Mall is hosting an anime spectacular. Chief among reasons to stop by is their Buy 1, Get 1 Half-Off sale on everything anime-related–dvds, manga, wallscrolls, plushies… even Pocky!

In addition, there’ll be a Cosplay Contest at 3:00pm, Anime Trivia at 4:00pm, and a Raffle at 5:00pm! Throughout the day, they’re expecting to hand out over $500 worth of prizes! Exciting, I know!

Anime Club will still take place as per usual, but if you’d like a change of pace, definitely go check it out!

Here’re the links for information on this weekend’s anime choices:

*Nodame Cantabile *Sketchbook: Full Color’s *Rec *Antique Bakery
*Real Drive *Bamboo Blade *Moyashimon *ef: A Tale of Memories

Yes. This weekend we’ll be back to our old Anime Club digs, where we’ll live out the rest of this semester’s meetings. So if anyone’s at all confused at all our room changes, rest assured that we’ll stay consistent for the next month and some.

Re: the schedule, we’ll be continuing Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid in Fumoffu’s stead. For those of you who saw this past weekend’s screening of Second Raid Vol. 1, please thank Funimation by taking this online survey (use my name for Q1, Justin Brough). Remember, it’s thanks to them that we had the DVD and the permissions to show you the episodes!

The rest of the schedule will be decided by online voting. We’re requiring login and registration for your vote to count now, so be sure to sign up and sign in to cast your ballot on the right. Links to this weekend’s anime possibilites follow… check ‘em out!

*Nodame Cantabile *Sketchbook: Full Color’s *Rec *Antique Bakery
*Natsume Yujinchou *Bamboo Blade *Moyashimon *ef: A Tale of Memories

*Kyouran Kazoku Nikki *Dennou Coil *Nodame Cantabile *Soul Eater
*Kaiji *Sketchbook: Full Color’s *Minami-ke *Library War

Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu is on hiatus. Couldn’t tell you why, but ADV Films has been incommunicado regarding screening permissions for the past couple weeks; add this to the fact that their website is down due to Hurricane Ike, and we’re left with little choice but to put off showing the rest of the series, at least for now. Sorry! >_<

In the meantime, we’ll have Black Cat take up its stead. And as for the rest of Saturday’s schedule, there’s a new poll up full of fansubbed, unlicensed anime goodness. No screening permissions required there, so vote for a show this week and watch it this weekend!

Speaking of this weekend, we’ll have a couple different things going on to keep it fresh:

The first, which will take place at roughly 2:00pm Saturday, will be a round-table club discussion. Myself and the rest of Club’s officers will be laying out plans for the rest of the semester, and your input will be welcome and valued. So if you’d have any ideas for club and its direction, be sure to voice them!

Second, the judging of the Club Logo contest, will happen during Saturday’s Intermission (4:30). All club members are invited to take in an eyeful of the entries, and select that which is deemed most worthy of the glorious $25.00 RightStuf! gift certificate. I can’t wait to see what you’ve all come up with!

And if you’re an angelic artist or a devilish designer who’s not yet considered entering the contest, get in on it! There’s no entrance fee, and you have nothing to lose!

Seriously. We’re giving away $25.00. Give it a shot!
