Recap of yesterday's meeting! 4/10/10 edition!

Spring Break, oh how I always forget that you have the lowest attended meetings. It was myself, Steven, Althea, and Waldo this time. We did get to watch some good stuff though. Here's a recap:

• We watched the newest episode of Dragonball Z: Abridged. Krillin did something naughty in the caves.
• We also viewed the abridged version of Bardock: Father of Goku. It was a humorous take on one of the best tales of all of Dragonball Z. Bardock, unfortunately saw way to far into the future. Terrible things! (Hint: It was that third Dragonall anime we will never mention in club!)
• We watched a few episodes of The Guin Saga. Everything is falling in place!
• Guin killed four assassins quickly and discovered that some one out there may know of his past. So Guin departs on his own for a journey. Did I mention that Suni actually helped Guin kill one of the assassins? For reals!
• Naris becames badass, puts on his armor and takes the Crystal Palace back from the Mongauls.
• Skarl finally meets Naris after his long journey and their forces combined are strong enough to defeat the Mongaul.
• News of Naris being alive and taking the castle reaches the Mongauls, specifically Princess Amnelis. Having realized that Naris had decieved her this whole time, she snaps, cuts off her hair, and vows to kill Naris herself!
• Istovan gets news of many things and uses it to get on the side of Naris. He becomes Naris's personal bodyguard though it looks like Istovan wants to kill Naris once he realizes that Naris also desires Rinda.
• Remus is acting as if he is the King of Parross already! He learned some valueable lessons in leadership from Guin.
• Long story short, Guin is going for his original goals, Naris has assembled a giant army, Remus is growing up, and the Mongaul are finally going down. We'll see how it all ends next meeting!
• Nobody knows about Cho Aniki.
• Gungrave was not shown. We'll hopefully see it next time!
• We watched a short film called Cencoroll. It was about two high school kids who have the ability to control aliens with telepathy. One kid wants the other's alien pet, and they battle it out for most of the short film. There was some great animation and it was fun to watch!
• We watched the first half of the Rurouni Kenshin OVA. Lots of people got cut into pieces and it rained crimson! We learned about Kenshin's origins in his path to becoming an assassin and joining up with a group trying to overthrow the ruling Bakufu.
• Kenshin has one cut on his cheek already! I bet that means he'll get the other one next time!

We'll be finishing up TWO anime next time. Exciting times!

Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Saturday, April 10th!

Man, it looks like we missed April Fools this year. I had some great ideas too! Unfortunately, things in convention land got busy.

This Sunday afternoon we are having a barbecue! It shall be awesome!

Our next club meeting will be on Saturday, April 10th at 1:15 pm in FS3B-113 at Full Sail University! Our main feature will be Cencoroll, a short 30 minute film nearly singlehandedly written, designed, directed, and animated by Atsuya Yuki. It's about a high school boy and his shapeshifting creature named Cenco that he controls with telepathy. Well, I am sure there's more to it than that but I haven't watched it yet!

We are six episodes away from finishing The Guin Saga(or is it The Naris Saga?)! We need to finish this over the next couple meetings so we can move on to something else. A revolt is supposed to happen in Crystal during the next episode and assassins are trying to kill Guin!

In Gungrave, it looks like Harry has been discovered as the real traitor to Millenion, after having many of its valueable members framed and killed. Now it's up to Brandon Heat to take him out! What will happen between these two longtime friends?

We have plenty of time left this meeting due to the length of Cencoroll. I was considering starting a new series but some of you will be out of town due to spring break and it'd suck for people to be lost if they missed opening episodes to a new series. So to fill in the space, I thought of something more digestable...

Now here's a little blast from the past. Remember Rurouni Kenshin on Toonami? That was a pretty fun, light hearted tale about a wandering samurai who atoned for past sins by helping those around him and vowing never to kill again. He had a "X" shaped scar on his cheek and carried a reverse blade sword.

For those who saw and never knew of Himura Kenshin's past, an OVA was made called Rurouni Kenshin: Romantic Tales from the Meiji Era(or Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal) that details Kenshin's days as the Battousai. This OVA is regarded as one of the best ever made. It has great drama and action and is one of the few anime out there that delve into the psychological effects that one experiences after killing(which there will be a lot of).

We'll watch the first half of the OVA this meeting and the other half the following meeting. It will be good times! Lots of great stuff next meeting! See you all soon!
