We're back on Friday!!

So, I just realized that we have anime this Friday, and that I hadn't sent the e-mail yet. This is what I get for relaxing and not thinking about things over break.

So we'll be in A-1046 as usual, starting at 7:30. If you have something to tell us, we'll be around after 7. We're rating this at

Because Midterm break started on the 15th, we didn't get to do anything for Valentine's. And given that there's so much anime absorbed with love, we just couldn't abandon a night of romance completely. But don't be afraid! This isn't your typical night of lovey-dovey romance flaunting itself to all the
singles out there!

To start things off, we're hauling out the classic romantic comedy anime - Ranma 1/2, Big Trouble in Nekonron, China (Movie 1)

All is well at the Tendo residence when from out of nowhere, a Chinese girl named Lychee appears, seeking revenge on Happosai for a broken promise made since her birth. Things get worse when Kirin and the Seven Lucky Gods appear and abduct Akane to take as his wife. Ranma and the gang must travel to Nekonron, China, and save Akane from getting married to Kirin.

And because this is a "Valentine's Day" Showing....Magical Chocolate (8-minute Valentine's short)

A girl believes that chocolate given by a mysterious magical person will contain a love potion that will make her crush fall in love with her.

And to conclude the evening - Love Hina Again (3-episode OAV)

Keitaro has finally passed the entrance exams, and is officially a Toudai student. But after breaking his leg in an accident in the entrance ceremony, he thought and re-evaluated himself. Having new goals, Keitaro follows Seta on an overseas archeology trip. During his absence, however, all was not well in Hinata Lodge. Urashima Kanako, Keitaro's sister, arrives on the scene. She claims to be the new manager of Hinata Lodge starts to go against all the tenants. Things become even more complicated when they recieve a letter from Keitaro. The tenants and Kanako made a big mess trying to get the letter, but Seta's car crashes in before anyone could read it...

So hopefully everyone can come and enjoy an evening of romance and laughter, without too much of the stigma of Valentine's Day, if you feel negatively about it. It's a night of romance, Anime Society-style!! See you Friday!

Midterm Fest

So, Midterm break is this weekend! As you all probably know, that means we're showing A FULL SERIES! As usual, it'll be split over three nights, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, (Feb. 15-17) and we'll start at our usual 7:30 each night, in room A-1046.

Our series of choice this semester is Zero no Tsukaima, translated as Zero's Familiar. In this case, we're actually screening two seasons, 13 episodes and 12 episodes.

On Friday we're screening the first 9 episodes.
Saturday it's the remaining 4 of season one, and 1-4 of season two.
Sunday, 5-12 of Season Two.

Rating: 14+

Louise is a budding magician. The students at the Tristein Academy call her "Zero Louise", due to her current record of zero successes with magic. In fact, her magic tends to go spectacularly wrong. Now, as an important test of her aptitude for magic, she must summon a familiar to be her servant. At this critical moment, she summons up all her magic and wishes for a familiar that is "devoted, beautiful and powerful", and gets... Hiraga Saito, an ordinary Japanese boy. It's difficult to say who is more surprised and dismayed, but the rules don't allow for second attempts. Louise is stuck with her strange familiar, and he with her.

Also, sorry for the lateness of this week's post, school's been busy.

Hopefully we'll see you this weekend!!
