Midterm Fest!

Well, time has flown and one again it's time for midterm break and the fest! The fest this semester will be taking place from Feb 20-22 in our normal room (A-1046) at our normal time (7:30). However, there's a slight change this semester, as we are showing two series.

And we're showing:

Night Wizard (Friday night episodes 1-9, Saturday 10-13)

Night Wizard. A term given to those whose mission is to protect the world from impending darkness. Renji Hiiragi is one such Night Wizard, who is constantly called on missions, even though all he wants is to be able to go to school and graduate. However, his latest order was to protect Elis Shiho, who is a new transfer student at his academy. Being dragged into the Astronomy Club by Renji's childhood friend, Kureha Akabane on her first day at school, Elis soon realises that she too, has the power to become a night wizard, after possessing one of seven secret Jewels, the Jewel of Kindness. Along with Renji and Kureha, Elis now begins her fight and her new life, as a Night Wizard.

Lemon Angel Project (Saturday night episodes 1-5, Sunday 6-13)

Lemon Angel was once the greatest girl band of Japan, but then it broke up and most of its members vanished. When a music producer decides to put together a new Lemon Angel, average high schooler Tomo Minaguchi is approached to audition for the group. Little does she know of the mystery behind the original Lemon Angel...

As always, we're looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Anime RPG

Because I forgot to mention it in the previous post, this gets its own.

The Society has booked off a table at Veni Vedi Vici '09, and we're running Ron's Anime RPG at it. This game is open to as many people as the table will fit, and the rules can be found at http://www.timecave.net/animerpg/ . We request that if you decide to play you read through the rules and think up an original character.

See you on Saturday!

Team Diabetes Canada Fundraiser

Hello everyone!

Veni Vedi Vici '09 is a fundraiser being held for Team Diabetes this Saturday, organized by one of the community's gamers. The Mount Pearl Soccer Association Clubhouse has been rented out, and is going to be set up with tables and chairs for the afternoon of February 7th, starting at noon. Admission is $5, and food will be avaliable for purchase, all profits going to Team Diabetes Canada. Supposedly there will also be door prizes.

The theory is that you bring your own games or whatever, and hang out for the afternoon. Hopefully we can show our support for this - grab your boardgames, PHBs, minis, cards, dice, paints (don't get it on the floor. end of story), whatever, and come along! Personally, I'll be there! Any questions can be directed to Colin, the organiser, at 728-1452 or cwelland@canada.com, or you can contact us - we'll answer if we can, and find out the answer if we can't!

La-bu La-bu!!

This Friday is Valentine's at the Anime Society! So, February 6 at 7:30 in A-1046, as per usual.

We'll start off with some comic unrequited love, and then move on to something that works out for our heroine. To that end, we're showing:

Itazura na Kiss

In the romantic comedy story, a high school girl named Kotoko finally tells a fellow senior named Naoki that she has loved him from afar since she saw him on their first day of high school. However, Naoki, a haughty "super-ikemen" (handsome male) with smarts and sports talent, rejects her offhand. Fate intervenes when a mild earthquake ruins Kotoko's family house. While the house gets rebuilt, Kotoko and her dad stay at the home of her dad's childhood friend...

Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card

All of the Clow Cards have been captured, and Sakura Kinomoto, the new Master of the Cards, is preparing to play the lead in the play for the town festival. However, a new evil force is causing mysterious events all over Tomoeda, including the disappearance of Sakura's cards. With Syaoran's help, Sakura must figure out the cause of these events, and save her town.
