Next Propeller Anime Club Meeting on Sunday, April 17th!

The next Propeller Anime Club meeting will be on Sunday, April 9th at 1:00PM in FS3F-112 at Full Sail University in Building 3F. It will be a little shorter, due to our main feature's length. But that's okay because the night before, we're seeing REDLINE!

Planned Schedule

1:00PM - Introduction and News

1:15PM - Record of Lodoss War 3 & 4
2:05PM - Gunbuster 3 & 4

3:10PM - Intermission(This means hang out, get food, etc.)

3:35PM - Durarara! 3 & 4
4:25PM - Kigeki
4:35PM - Legend of Koizumi

Kigeki is a 10 minute animated short from director Kazuto Nakazawa, who has done key animation for Roujin Z and Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture. 

The main feature is the short, but sweet Legend of Koizumi. It's about Junichiro Koizumi's epic mahjong battles against other world leaders while on diplomatic trips throughout the world. Koizumi is a former prime minister of Japan. Both Bush presidents and Vladmir Putin will be in this, and some people(probably not us) will be offended.

In Record of Lodoss War, a party of adventurers have formed: Parn the Knight, Deedlit the elf, Ghim the dwarf, Woodchuck the thief, Slayn the wizard, and Etoh the cleric. In a flashback we learn that Parn and his group have been tasked by King Fahn to find the sage, Wort, to see if he can provide them any information about Karla, the Gray Witch. During their adventure they had to fight and slay a dragon.

In Gunbuster, an all-girl school are training to pilot a new weapon known as the Gunbuster to get ready in case another war with the aliens take place. The main character, Noriko Takaya, is the daughter of a famous space admiral but lacks the skills to be a pilot. Overtime, she has to overcome her problems because another war is coming...

In Durarara!! a ton of characters are introduced and it will take a but to get used to everyone. Unlike Baccano! the story is told in a linear fashion. We discover that Ikebukuro is a dangerous place featuring some of the toughest street thugs, gang members, and even a headless biker.

We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting!

First Spring PAC meeting Sunday, April 3rd at 1:00PM!

Hey anime fans! Did you like how we rolled at MegaCon!? We hope you had fun! We have a bunch to wrap up in regards to that but we do want to get back to showing off some cool anime! Our first meeting of the Spring quarter will be on Sunday, April 3rd at 1PM at Full Sail University in FS3F-112 in Building 3F! (Near Wendy's)

For those who've never been to a PAC meeting, it's free and we watch a bunch of anime and have some lively discussions about what we watch. Since MegaCon just finished, there will be much to discuss about the weekend. We show several on-going series, followed by a feature to wrap up the meeting in an awesome way!

Speaking of features, we will be showing the first movie Hayao Miyazaki ever directed, and that will be Castle of Cagliostro! It stars the cast of Lupin III going for another caper that deals with an evil baron and his plans to produce high quality counterfeit bills from all the major nations, all while forcefully marrying a girl that has caught Lupin's eye!

But that is not all! We start watching three series this meeting! We have the fantasy classic, Record of Lodoss War, which is essentially a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Then there is Gainax's stylish mecha classic Gunbuster, and then we have a newer series that fans of Baccano! should like in Durarara!!

Created by Baccano's Ryohgo Barita, Durarara!! is about a dullahan working as an underworld courier in Ikebukuro, Japan, an internet-based anonymous gang called Dollars, and the chaos that unfolds around the most dangerous people in Ikebukuro.
