-From All I Ever Needed To
Know I Learned From Escaflowne
Hey happy campers! Time for another newsletter. First, I'd
like to tell all of the people sending me anime-related forwards to stop it.
Now. I don't like getting forwards in my e-mail; if it has "FWD" in the subject,
it will be replied to tersely and deleted unread. Thanks.
Anyway, nobody was really up for busting Sailor Moon last week, so we didn't do
it. Please tell me if this weekly RPG thing appeals to you; the sudden and
drastic decline in participation signals displeasure in my mind, and I won't do
it if nobody's interested. But please tell us what we SHOULD do; the anime club
is for all activities anime, not just watching anime for three hours each week.
Is anyone still interested in Karaoke/Cos-Play, which was mentioned earlier this
year?
Our president has finally brought down his
Ani-Mayhem cards, which means that we can play the game at future meetings and
club related activities. It's like the Star Trek card game that Decipher did
(www.decipher.com), but with better disasters and cool anime characters. Have
Washu-chan take down Leon! Watch Ranma (girl) beat down on Jinnai! See Largo
eliminate them all with a particle beam blast! All this, and more, in the
Ani-Mayhem game.
Hopefully, next week our president will
not "forget" to bring Key (he swears he forgot, but I am suspicious), so
we can watch it until we run out of tapes. We'll also try to bring everything
else that you voted for in the past, and if you have a special request we are
oh-so-amenable. We'll also probably bring Battle Athletes, because we
think it's funny. If you want to see the end of Key in Japanese with Chinese
subtitles, and you can handle VCDs, we can help you out with that too.
Meetings are in some room on the second floor of Blair on
Friday at 7 PM. Bring your love of anime. See you there! Aaron's bringing his
camera.

Now, for this week-
HARD: In Escaflowne, why does Van's cat girlfriend lick his face when he returns from killing the dragon?
EASY: Would Kalia look good with long hair?
HINTS: In Vision of Escaflowne, Prince Van has a cat girl for a
significant other, and she licks his face when he comes back from a successful
dragon hunting expedition.
As for Kalia, she is the major
antagonist in the El Hazard 2 OVA series. She is a short demon goddess
robot that looks like a young girl with short white hair.
There are no trick questions. Answers are due by the meeting Friday.
