Pineview Anime Club
As of a few minutes ago, Anime Club is go for this year. Same time, same place, same sponsor -- Friday 7th period in Mrs. Munoz's room. Sorry that this doesn't apply to most of you who subscribe to posse_gumi (since most of you have fled off to college at this point), but this is the most convenient way of getting the word out. And, besides, even if you don't attend the club, your input is appreciated.
Changmin and I have been discussing possiblities for what to show. Suggestions are welcomed! So far we're considering Bleach, Genshiken, Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu, Mai-Hime, Technolyze, Niea_7, 2x2 Shinobuden, Matantei Loki Ragnarok... in accordance with the wishes of the previous presidents (<3) we will not be showing anything that has been licensed for American TV (we may make exceptions for old shows, or shows that were terribly dubbed, but that will be handled on a case-by-case basis). We will also not show anything inappropriate as far as language, sex, violence, or overall theme. The best formula for a show is action-based, fast-moving, fairly short with plenty of comedic relief but perhaps a more significant message. FMA and Naruto were very popular last year but I'd like to aim for several shorter series rather than two large ones, if we can. More serious, slow-moving shows may be good, but they're probably not the best thing to show in a group.
We'll be showing the anime off of Changmin's laptop, which is outfitted with all the necessary codecs and has a dvd-rom drive. If you have an anime which you'd like to preview for the club tomorrow, feel free to burn the episodes to a dvd and bring it in.
We're aiming for convenience and efficiency, so if we wind up downloading a new series, we'll try to have everyone with a fast internet connection, a dvd burner, and bittorrent chip in.
If you have suggestions for a show, please comment here tonight so that we can talk about them tomorrow! Changmin and I will bring in a few first episodes from various series.
I'll try to make an appointment with Mrs. Goffard to talk about pictures in the yearbook. I'll let you know in advance.
Thanks!
