Big ol' update

It was good to see everybody once again. I meant to have this out by last weekend, but unfortunately life conspired to get in the way. Anyway, it's done now and there's tons of stuff to write about.


First off, don't miss our movie next week! Thursday the 26th (7-9 PM) we'll be watching Vexille. Be there! Further off, our next meeting comes up July 13th (2-5PM in the auditorium as usual). We'll be watching more Genshiken, an episode or two of XXXHolic (another CLAMP title). And we'll watch another Funimation title that you folks get to pick. If you look down below, you'll see two pictures of different titles and some short descriptions. If you prefer one over the other, just write me back with the title you want to see.


Second, I've put some files online for your enjoyment. June's newsletter is here. Yes, it's a bit difficult to read in places. We're still getting all the kinks worked out. The A-kon slideshow is here. One warning though, it's in MS Publisher and completely uncompressed, so it's about 248 MB! I'll be working on a smaller version as I get the time, but if you've got the stuff, take a look and enjoy.


Speaking of the newsletter, Jiggaro and I are about to start working on the new one. We are open to suggestions as to what you want to see. If you want to get in on the act and write something, feel free. We'll publish anything that falls within the scope of the anime club and makes a reasonable amount of sense. If you don't want to write but you do want a column about video games or certain anime, just ask. We'll do what we can.


Check out the pictures from the Cosplay Workshop!


Lastly (for now), if you didn't email me your birthday or write it on the sheet at the last meeting, please do that. Thanks, and see you all next time. And remember to write and tell me which one of the two dvds below you want to see!

For these two travel toward their destiny, from the highest towers to the depths of the underworld, through forest and desert alike! With an ever-growing cast of fellow heroes, fate will grasp these travelers by their very souls and propel the band of skilled adventurers towards a noble end. Or ignoble, if they don't watch their step!

Monsters are afoot and the way rife with danger and magic, the path forward may be unclear… But where will is strong, there is a way! Lessons wait in the depths of darkness, and good must prevail. The journey starts now!

Beauty is the Beast

A vision of grace and beauty trapped within the ancient walls of a forgotten castle, awaiting the one who will set her free.

While Kouhei ranks among the best in paranormal photography, he's never actually seen a ghost! So when he fails to capture a hauntingly beautiful young girl on camera, curiosity drives him into the arms of a haughty vampire and a world he cannot comprehend. The vampire Hazuki, having waited years for someone to finally set her free, proves unwilling to part with her unwitting hero and follows him home, promptly adopting his life as her own. And as the adolescent vampire wreaks her own flavor of havoc, mysterious forces conspire to reclaim what was lost. Some riddles are best left unsolved…
