Farewell, George!

 
George Spanos has been an active member of our club since late last year. George has been a pleasure to have in the club and he has been a great contributing member. He has helped out at both Megacons this year and he played Gavor Arisia in Swords of Orlandia III at Anime Festival Orlando 10. He also helped host our first club barbecue. He's done a lot for our club and it is with great sadness that he has to leave us so soon. We were hoping George could stay long enough for one more meeting, but he has to leave around noon for the next chapter in his life.

It is sad to see George go, but we sent him off in a proper way this past week. He will be missed and hopefully we have not seen the last of him.

Next meeting: Sunday, September 13th at 3:00 p.m.

Our next meeting will be Sunday, September 13th at 3:00 p.m. in FS4E-104. This is the building that students pick up their books and partake in delicious waffles and smoothies at the Dieselbean Cafe. Unfortunately, the cafe is closed on Sundays but we will be having a meeting in that building anyways!

The meeting will be special for three reasons:

 

1.) We will be showing the final three episodes of Outlaw Star! There will be a showdown on the Galactic Leyline between Gene's crew, the Kei Pirates, the MacDougal Brothers, and anyone else who wants to get in on the action! It will be an explosive conclusion!


 2.) We will be showing episodes 4 & 5 of Guin Saga. It's been a great show so far and the introductory arc has just finished! Who is the man in the leopard mask going to send flying with a roundhouse kick this time!?



3.) Last week we discussed showing a classic anime film at each meeting. The first one will be the classic 1986 Fist of the North Star movie! We've shown several of the Hokuto no Ken films and OVAs and it's been a fun time so far, so now we will show the most brutal and violent of the Fist of the North Star anime! It's a re-imagining of the first third of the series. 

Earth has been devasted by nuclear war, and deadly martial arts now rules the wasteland. When Kenshiro's beloved Yuria is kidnapped by a best friend gone mad, he sets out on a quest to save her that will not only be for revenge, but also honor! Kenshiro will face off against well known adversaries such as Shin, Jagi, and the Fist King himself - Raoh! If you are a true man, you will come see this with us!

We have three awesome reasons for you to come to the meeting on September 13th and we hope to see you there!
