I figure it wouldn’t hurt to post up some more event ideas, or at least fire up our thinking engine’s for the fall semester… that being said there isn’t really any holidays i want to celebrate in this semester since I’m not black, (MLK JR day) or have a girlfriend (Valentines day) we’ll have to make up our own events, I’m thinking more off campus type hangouts, the swap meet was cool, etc maybe more themed nights, (I’m always down for another mecha night)… post ideas below
Evangelion Thread
Eva is the worst thing ever and everyone who likes it watched it for anyone but Misato. Prove me wrong.

Spring Semester Theme Night Suggestions
Just a thread to get some suggestions for the Spring 2011 “Theme Nights.” Please place a suggestion here for a type of theme you think would make a good theme night. (Please note that we only had 2 theme nights last semester 4 if you count Halloween and Christmas, and more than likely will not have more than that. But that decision is Joey’s (along with which themes are chosen) and the progression of our regular schedule may also affect the number of theme nights) But feel free to put as many suggestions in this thread as you want. So even if it doesn’t get used it may be an idea we never thought of before and could be used in the future.
Top 3 Favorite and Least Favorite Anime!
The Anime News Network podcast, ANNCast, has spent the last two episodes going through their best and worst anime (as well as their best and worst movies) of all time, with readers/listeners submitting their own lists to Zac which he read during the podcast as well.
Part One (1 hr 50 mins)
Part Two (1 hr 30 mins)
So post your favorite 3 and worst 3 anime in the thread and we can discuss that if you like. I realize some of you do not like Zac because of opinions he’s offered in the past, but this is not a thread to bash him nor Justin’s seemingly snobbish taste in movies.
Listening to their worst anime and worst movie lists was hilarious ^_-
Spring 2011 + Updates
I suppose that it’s getting near to the time when we should be thinking about what we might want to watch in the spring. I’ve made a new page featuring the shows that I suggested, so feel free to make your own suggestions in this thread and I’ll post them up. Try to limit your suggestions to two or three shows. If there was a show that was on the list last semester and we didn’t watch it, feel free to suggest it again.
Links:
Spring 2011
Fall 2010 (previous results)
Also, I went through and updated the front page as well as the list of titles we’ve watched to reflect what we’ve seen during the current semester. Let me know if I’ve left anything off.
Music Night – October 21st (update)
Okay, here’s our lineup for music night:
Nodame Cantabile, episode 1
Beck, episode 5 (English)
Beck, episode 10 (Japanese)
Nana, episode 17
The Legend of Black Heaven, episode 2
K-On, episode 14
Detroit Metal City, episodes 1-2 (~15 min. each)
I included two episodes of Beck because I couldn’t find anything better. Also I wanted people to hear both languages since there’s some who prefer each version.
Between these I would like to show some AMVs, so please submit me links to your favorites.
Music Night – October 21st
Our music theme night will be coming up in a month, so I’m looking for ideas of what shows we might watch. As we get closer to the 21st of October, I’ll ask people to submit links to their favorite AMVs, probably two each, and then I’ll show at least one of everyone’s suggestions (two if not enough people suggest any).
Right now though, here’s the ideas that I have for music night. We’ll try to show an episode of each (suggest episodes in comments).
Beck
Nodame Cantabile
Nana
K-On (pick an episode that’s more music and less cake)
Detroit Metal City
White Album?
The Live Alive episode of Haruhi?
The Pop Idol episode of Love Hina (in Japanese for God’s sake)?
Six shows will probably be enough, though we could also do seven if there’s strong opinions on them. Those + AMVs would probably be good. But we still need to decide on particular episodes.
