While I'm sure all of you are glad that classes have started again, the real news is what's happening at the MIT Anime Club. Our semester series (as stated last week) are Dennou Coil and Ergo Proxy. We'll be starting out with Dennou Coil this week and then each following week will alternate between the two shows. Dennou Coil's so good that we have a bit of fear that it will be snatched up before we get to finish it, so you should definitely make an effort to come see the start of the show this Friday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geneon going-out-of-business DVD donation drive So if you've been thinking about sponsoring a disc but haven't now's your chance, what better way to prove your love for a series than buying it for us. ^^ In late September, it was announced that Geneon, one of the largest US anime companies, is getting out of the DVD sales business. Unfortunately, there were still a lot of DVDs we wanted to buy from them! To supplement our normal acquisitions budget of money from the UA, memberships, and refreshments, we're also asking for your help in picking up good series that might be going away for good. For more information, see: http://web.mit.edu/anime/www/donations/geneon-oob-2007.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Membership Did your club membership expire in January? Renew now for continued library checkouts and other membership privileges. Or start a new membership for the term, the year, or a longer period. Ask for a form at the showing or print it in advance from our web site at: http://web.mit.edu/anime/register/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pizza We'll be using the same token-based pizza sales system we have been using for awhile: we'll sell tokens two episodes before intermission that you can exchange for slices during intermission. This week's pizza options are: $1.50 Plain cheese $2.00 Pepperoni $2.00 Hawaiian (ham + pineapple) (this week's feature flavor) Future weeks will feature: - Feta cheese - Pastrami - Salami - Sausage - Grilled Chicken - Hamburger - Hawaiian (ham + pineapple) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pizza Ordering Procedure To bring you a more reliable pizza experience, we're going to be taking orders using a new procedure. Instead of taking a poll on the blackboard and then selling slices for cash, we'll sell tokens early in the evening which can be exchanged for slices during intermission. If there are extra slices, we'll sell tokens for them at intermission, but advance orders will get priority. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Library The library is open for checkouts as usual this week; get your requests in by Thursday for the best service. The digisub sampler DVD+RW from last week is still available. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Silence If you talk during the anime, you will be found and dealt with by Satchii. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Programme 7:10 Dai Mahou Touge 1-8 (complete) The director of _Hare+Guu_ and _Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan_ brings us another entry in the cute-but-evil magical girl vein. Punie is the princess of Magical Land, and her magical wand may look like a candy cane, but she isn't all sweetness and light. Her position means a lot of rivals are after her, but she dispatches them with some mean submission holds and a gleeful cry of "Lyrical Tokarev, KILL THEM ALL!" 9:20 Dennou Coil 1-4 In the near future, virtual computer-generated objects coexist with real ones - if you're wearing cyberspace-enabled glasses. Yuuko Okonogi moves to Daikoku City with her parents, her little sister, and her cyberdog Densuke, and gets caught up in the strange events happening in that city's cyberspace. Everything about this series is well-done - the Miyazaki-esque artwork, the augmented-reality interfaces, the character interactions - and don't miss the Mojos. 11:05 Ah! My Goddess: Fighting Wings 1-2 The latest adaptation of the long-running Ah! My Goddess franchise is a 2-episode miniseries, continuing from the recent TV series, that is surprisingly action-packed for AMG. Lind, the strongest of the Valkyries, comes to the temple where Keiichi, Belldandy, Urd, Skuld, and Peorth live to warn them of and protect them from an escaped monster that preys on the goddesses' angels. Expect fighting spells, axes, hammers, and Keiichi actually not being a wimp. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- (This showing is made possible in part with funding from Finboard and the Undergraduate Association of MIT.)
