Our first meeting will be on 1/19 at 5:30 in the Library. Viewing schedule will be posted shortly.

Now now, Haruhi and Princess Tutu and Monster were interesting enough...(and if I could finally get Eric to show Higurashi it'd be quite interesting too kekekeke)

Not gonna happen buddy, though the thought of seeing people's reactions makes me giggle :P

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue
Here's the schedule for this Friday

1/19
Fansub Slot
Monster 47-49
Kamichu
--Break--
Kino's Journey
Ouran Host Club 1-2
Giant Robo

Remember we meet at 5:30 instead of 6 now.

Wait, we're watching Kino in SPOON? Awesome! I was meaning to finish watching that, now I don't need to drive over to the anime store! ^_^

Well if anyone has any suggestions for what they would like to see shown in the fansub slot, feel free to send me a message or hit me up during meetings. Cus so far this winter season there really isn't anything worth showing yet except for maybe Nodame , and I think I've already mined most of the good Fall 06 anime that are showable (no traps, slow "slice of life", and no boring 1st episodes that get good later). .. so I might have to go back further for stuff like NHK and NANA.. or show anime that I think weren't all that impressive. or maybe give in and show Higurashi like that redcar guy wants ;)

Code Geass? It should be the worst cliche-ridden monstrosity ever devised, but somehow it manages to work...

hehe that is one of the anime I plan on bringing, personally don't get what is so great about it but alot of people I know online seems to love it so I'll just go with the flow :)

Kino's Journey would be shown from DVDs. We can show licensed shows, providing we actually buy/rent the material and request permission.

And Giant Robo is there because, A. some people wanted it, and B. I still think its several kinds of awesome. Sure, Daisaku's voice is a bit annoying in the dub, but it is very hard to find multiple different foreign accents done well in Japanese.

Monster is in there at this point just to finish the @%@ thing off at this point.

Ouran Host Club is from 2006, albeit early in the year. NHK has been discussed before, and probably would have a good shot of showing up for at least one episode. Black Lagoon, Honey & Clover, Death Note, and some others all had first episodes or long clips shown last semester, but the others you list could get used this time around.

I've been wanting to push for some really older stuff, but its hard to fit it into the normal schedule. Some of the greats of the 70s and early 80s that few remember: Harlock, Space Battleship Yamato, Ideon.

Dokuro-chan? Funny for maybe the first episode, then went downhill REALLY quick(especially when they get to the diarhea...). I did find Dai Mahou Touge much better done(same creator). I'd give it some props for managing to subvert its chosen genre better as well.

Someone has the dvds, we showed a few episodes in the past.

That is exactly what the fansub slot is, the first episode of one of the newest shows being fansubbed is shown. We've had it for a while now. And if it is popular, the entire thing might be shown the next semester, that is what happened with Haruhi and now Ouran.

Already on the list I plan on submitting

licensed, otherwise I would have already shown it a long time ago

No indeed, I submitted a clip for Anime Hell last Halloween and that is the last SPOON will see of that show.. even though it does actually get good, the first episode is just too much :P

licensed

I already showed the first episode of season 1 when it first came out, there didn't seem to be much interest in it.. <_<

Already showed the first episode and it got licensed recently

erm.. the first episode was pretty generic.. I can't believe the creator of kenshin made this.. =/

I've considered this, but the first episode is kinda sucky..

Crow? Noein? Noein is licensed and I've already shown the first episode

oh dear lord >_<

I've already shown the first episode

Finding a good new completed unlicensed show that few people have already seen and doesn't have a crappy first episode is a pretty tall order, if you have any suggestions let me know.

I agree with 3 of them, 8 of them are unshowable because they're licensed or I've already brought them in, and only disagree with 4.. two of those you have some reservations about yourself (dokuro-chan and inukami). d-gray I'm on the fence about since I'm having a hard time coming up with good new stuff to bring..

I understand that the schedule isn't all that interesting for the more hardcore anime fans, I'll do my best to keep things interesting with the fansub slot.

For simplicities sake, please take discussion to the general discussion board in the future. This thread is for announcements primarily.
