Line up for NEXT Friday

I don't know if any of you guys might have been, but we ourselves at the Society got a little confused with our own schedule and thought there was a showing this weekend. XD
For those of you who have calendars (or paid close attention to the sidebar, which was correct), you'll note that our next showing is indeed next week, on the 10th of March.
This is partly due to the fact that our mid-term fest was originally planned out as a four-day event, thusly running into a 2nd week — and also to place the last showing on the last day of lectures.

I apologize for any confusion. Basically don't show up this Friday — we'll see you next Friday.

That said, we do have our line-up for the 10th planned out! And it follows as such:

陰陽大戦記—Onmyou Taisenki
[The Chronicle of the Big Battle between Yin and Yang]
(Episodes 1–4)

All his life, Riku Tachibana has been raised by his grandfather. For some reason, the old man has always been fond of strange hand gestures, and they've rubbed off on Riku, who performs them almost subconsciously, to his classmates' great amusement. One day, however, it suddenly becomes clear to Riku what his grandfather has been surreptitiously teaching him. And the teachings could mean the difference between life and death for Riku.

らんま１／２—Ranma ½
(Episodes 1–4)

A classic favourite of almost all anime fans; I think it's high time we actually show a bit of the series!

Saotome Ranma, a teenage martial artist, and his father Genma travel to the 'cursed training ground' of Jusenkyo in China. There, despite the warnings of the Chinese guard, they fall into the cursed springs. From now on, whenever Ranma is doused in cold water, he turns in to a girl, and a cute, well-built red-head at that. Hot water changes him back into a man again, but only until the next time. To make matters worse, his father engages him to Tendo Akane, a girl who hates boys.

I hope to see you all on March 10th!

Crisis Averted

Scratch that earlier problem - thanks to the wonderful Jen Webster, we now have all of Tsubasa and will be showing nine episodes tonight as scheduled \o/

Slight problem

Due to a problem in obtaining the required media, we will only be able to show the first eight episodes of Tsubasa, as opposed to the nine originally scheduled; this will push episode 9 to tomorrow. Will we decide tonight or tomorrow whether will we show 10 episodes tomorrow or push episode 18 to Sunday.
If we have further issues, we may have to spread out the fest and continue into Monday; but hopefully everything will go smoothly from here on.
We'll keep you posted.

If any one of our members has their own copy of the series (on CD/DVD), however, please feel free to bring it in - it would mean a lot to us!

Tsubasa Chronicle Fest details!

As many of you are probably aware, we're going to be showing Tsubasa Chronicle for our fest this semester!

Syaoran, a boy who wants to become an archeologist, and Sakura, a princess from the Clow Kingdom, are childhood friends with a close relationship. On a fateful night, Sakura lost all her memories as a result of a conspiracy to obtain her powers. In order to regain her memory, Syaoran seeks help from the witch, Yuuko. Yuuko tells Syaoran that he has to travel from one alternate reality to another to collect fragments of Sakura's memory. However, even if Sakura regains her memory, she will have no recollection of Syaoran. Traveling together with them is Kurogane, a warrior who was exiled from his country, and Fye, a magician who wants to escape from his King. With the help of a magical creature, Mokona, they set off on an exciting journey through time and space.

For those of you unfamiliar to the series, it is an alternate universe setting and cross-over of many of CLAMP's various works. It's definitely a good watch ^_^

We've opted to run the fest for three days; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (the 17th—19th) and will be showing nine episodes on the first and second nights, and eight on the last night.
The only foreseen problem is that EN-2006 turned out to be unavailable for the 19th, so we will be having our last night in SN-2109 - But we will still be in EN-2006 for the first two nights.

It's looking to be a good fest! Hope to see you there!

Winter Weather Policy

In light of today's blizzard conditions, and the first snow day of the year, I think it might be a good idea to fill you guys in on our winter weather policy.

In the event that MUN is closed on the day of a showing, our showing for that night will be cancelled. However, if MUN were to be closed in the morning, and then reopened in the afternoon, the showing will more-than-likely go ahead as planned.
However, regardless of MUN's decision, if we feel that the weather has deteriorated to an unsafe level (or is forecasted to rapidly deteriorate throughout the evening), we will cancel the showing.

If an Anime Society showing is to be cancelled, notification will be added to the website by the afternoon. Also, those on the mailing list will receive the same notification in their e-mails. Our best advice is to always check the website before you head out.

That said, Friday is looking to be a good day and there shouldn't be any reason to cancel this coming showing... So we hope you'll have dug yourselves out by then and will be able to join us!

(As a side-note, I apologize for the lack of posters this week. Between work, studying for two tests, and this weather, it wasn't possible for me to design, let alone print and distrobute one. Sorry!)
