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
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!
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!
