Headlines
The William and Mary Anime Society (WMAS) will be meeting this week, as usual at 7:00 pm on Friday in Tyler 336. There is no DDR this week, sadly, and rather than our usual line up of series, we'll be watching random crap. Many people will be gone so rather than have them all miss the episodes and try to borrow them later, we'll just be showing random, obscure, fun stuff we dug out. Come for the laughs, stay because the door is locked.
Con News
The con planning is progressing nicely. Ride info will be going out in a few days. Right now, we still have the ride at Friday at 11:00, send an email if you can make it.
In other con news, the deadline for the early-early cheap-cheap registration for Katsucon is drawing near. Katsukon is February 15-17th. If you want to get the ultra cheap rate of $30 (as opposed to $50 at the door) we need at least 10 people to get the discount. We'll begin collecting money right before Nekocon, so if you can spare some money from the wad you're going to blow in the dealer's room, and want to ensure some more con goodness, give us more money.
Freshman: Most of you didn't sign up for Nekocon. Con's are a great time to hang out with fun anime people in strange clothes. If you want to cash in on a great time and cheap tickets, please consider the great deal you can get through the club. Your club loves you. Remember that. Remember.
Dues
If you haven't paid dues by now you're probably lurking in the shadows, ashamed to show your face. But fear not, redemption is not unobtainable. We're still taking dues money. Talk to someone at the meeting.
Shameless Plugs
Aaron is still selling his VHS tapes. He is selling all the tapes from Saber Marionette J, Slayers and Tylor. Tapes go for $10 apiece, and are in Japanese with English subtitles.
Michelle Cobb's Long plug will be cordoned off by the clever line of ascii characters.

Hey guys! I have to clean out my closet, so you guys get to reap the rewards of cheap anime! Nothing has a set price, just tell me what you are willing to pay for something and I will tell you if I will take it or not. And I will probably accept just about anything. Here's the stuff up for grabs and just a note on the anime, all of it is B quality or higher. And my definition of B is "not necessarily great, but not destracting." And all of it is subtitled unless indicated otherwise.
Gundam Wing Memorials II Artbook
MS Nadesco Akito Plush Doll
Trigun Poster: Wanted Poster of Vash approximately 60x80 cm (small tear in the corner)
Rurouni Kenshin Figurines CLEAR
Kenshin
Sano
Saitoh
Yahiko (1)
Yahiko (2)
ANIME
Vampire Princess Miyu TV eps 1-26 (whole series) plus Mahou Tsukai Tai ep 1
All of this is on two (2) tapes.
Yu Yu Hakushou eps 25-32 (two tapes with four eps each)
Yu Yu Hakushou eps 20-24, Movie 1, Movie 2, and Kodomo no Omocha eps 1-8 (all of this is on one (1) tape)
Kodomo no Omocha vols. 1-3 and 5-8. First two volumes are on YYH tape. Vols. 3 and 5 are one tape and 6,7,8 are seperate. Yeah, I know it's random, but it's cheap, okay?
Fushigi Yuugi TV eps 1-52 (whole series) on three (3) tapes DUBBED
Fushigi Yuugi OAV 1 (one tape) subbed
Fushigi Yuugi OAV 2 (two tapes) subbed
CLAMP in Wonderland, On Your Mark, Idol Project, FY Music Clips (one tape)
Outlaw Star eps 1-10 (one tape) DUBBED, but this is NOT the Toonami version.
I also have Kenshin eps 1-80 of varying quality, but the price has got to be right.
Okay, that's all I can think of without actually looking at my stuff. Please respond to mecobb@wm.edu instead of replying to Chris. Thanks. You can offer up until Monday and that's it becuase I have to bring this stuff from home during fall break. If any of you guys who know me remember me owning something like a poster or some anime that I have forgotten, go ahead and offer. The only exception is that I am not selling ANY manga. Thanks guys!

Ah! Look! Another line of clever ascii characters. This must denote the end of the plug. Amazing how holding down two keys can communicate so much....
If YOU have a shameless plug, feel free to send it in so that we can review it, laugh at it and possibly (if the kickbacks are big enough) put it in the newsletter.

Trivial questions
Last week's questions:
Poll Question: Better death: Gai or Joe?
Depends on what you mean by "better"
Joe: more dramatic
Gai: funnier
Easy Questions: What other anime has Jules Verne written?
"Mysterious Island" was the base script for "Record of Lodoss War"
Hard Question: Relate either Trigun, Nadia, or Nadeshico to The Tale of Genji?
Akito COULD score with a bunch of girls if he wanted to.
This week's questions:
Poll Question: Better Trigun Villain; The big flashy guy or the guy who was just big?
Easy Question: If you were on the Nadeshico, how would YOU want Nergal to carry out your funeral?
Hard Question: How can the characters in Nadia cause as much pure destruction as the characters in Trigun and Nadeshico?
