Check out anime channel Neon Alley! We did!

If you are an anime fan and own a Playstation 3, you may want to give Neon Alley a try. We did so last night to see what it was all about and we enjoyed it.

What is Neon Alley? It's a 24/7 anime channel(with some live-action Asian cinema) for the Sony Playstation 3. All the anime shown is in English and uncut, most of which are licensed by Viz Media.

RE: It's MANIME! Nite!

Thank you all for coming out! Last night was deliciously awesome! Not just because we had beer, beef jerky, and also 4 pounds of candied bacon made by our friend Alison, but specifically for one of the hottest times that we have anywhere!

It's MANIME! Nite!

Yesterday's meeting was fun and we even ended it with an unexpected trip to Steak n Shake! It was grossly delicious!

NEWS

• A lot of new people have been coming to meetings lately! Awesome stuff!
• Anime Spot is doing a Murder Mystery Night on Saturday, October 16th at the UCF Student Union. Details here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=155096904512037
• The first 13 episodes of Golgo 13 are available on Netflix to stream! Be a badass and watch it by the window!
• A new Berserk anime project has been announced and it is 100% for real! What a manly news week!

RECAPS

Black Lagoon

• In Black Lagoon, Rock and Revy have a crazy lovers quarrel of sorts. It gets very deep, and Rock almost gets shot in the head. He seriously manned up.
• The Lagoon Company is transporting a kidnapped boy to a Colombian cartel. The boy is the son of a sorta wealthy South American family. The family has sent their maid, Roberta, to rescue him and kill lots of people. Yeah, she's that kind of maid!

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

• In Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Mirai, Yuki, and Mari take shelter at Mirai's school, where they witness several people who have lost love ones during the disaster. There are more aftershocks but nothing serious.
• The next day, Mari starts freaking out when news breaks out that her neighborhood is on fire. Fearful of her daughter's fate, she collapses. After she wakes up, the group goes back on their journey.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

• Jojo's Bizarre Adventure began! We are introduced to the Joestar bloodline, starting off with Jonathan Joestar being killed by the vampire head of Dio Brando early on. 100 years later, his great, great grandson Jotaro Kujo has decided to stay in jail because he is haunted by an evil spirit who violently beats up people while yelling out ORAORAORAORAORA!
• Jotaro's grandfather and designated badass Joseph Joestar visits him and explains that the evil spirit is a Stand, a semi-physical spiritual manifestation of one's power. After Magician's Red stand user Avdol tricks Jotaro in leaving his cell, Joseph explains that they must kill Dio once and for all, as he has returned and taken Jonathan Joestar's body as his own!
• In the next episode, Jotaro meets the first of Dio's assassins, Noriyaki Kakyoin. (He is supposed to be the bishonen in the manga but they is not reflected in the anime!)
• After going Kenshiro on his ass, Jotaro and his group discover that Kakyoin was unwillingly under Dio's control. Once they save him, Kakyoin joins their group and they head on their bizarre adventure to Egypt to kill Dio, but not before Avdol names Jotaro's stand Star Platinum.

Evangelion 2.22

• Our feature was Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance. Some cool robot vs monster fights happened and it looked very awesome! High quality animation for sure! They also introduced a new Eva pilot named Mari whose function is to sell toys and statues to creepy otaku in Akihabara so that the third and fourth Rebuild movies can be made.
• In addition, Shinji and Rei secretly love each other! And Unit 01 has a halo over its head when it goes berserk!
• Third Impact has also started! That wasn't in the television series!

Our next meeting will be on Sunday, October 10th! Our main feature will be Lupin III: The Last Job! Hope to see you there!

When is the next meeting??

I know I didn't write a recap for the last meeting. Mainly because the Italian take on animation with Titanic: The Adventure Continues warped my fragile little mind. That was easily the worst thing our club as ever watched together. More so than that anime about the girls in maid outfits that shall remain nameless.

Anyways, I have no clue when we will schedule the next anime club meeting. MegaCon is coming up. We're doing a lot of events, but one that is close enough to a meeting is the Propeller Anime Potluck at 12:00pm in W224B. We're showing some older anime that predates Inu Yasha and Naruto. It will be the only time you see classic anime at the convention.

We'll show the first episodes of shows such as Ranma 1/2, Berserk, Those Who Hunt Elves, Outlaw Star, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The 8th M.S. Team. Those are all classic shows in their own right so if you happen to be at MegaCon: come in, socialize, and learn what it is like to be at a Propeller Anime Club meeting!

Sometime after MegaCon, there will be a meeting this month. I'll know by the end of MegaCon Sunday how I will feel. Hopefully that NERD RAGE that creeps up at the end will not consume me this time.

Tonight, however, is the first Anime Night at Next Level LAN. They are located on Forsyth and University. They have a costume contest, trivia contest, and anime viewings planned. You can also pay for LAN games. They set up a FaceBook event page you can RSVP at.
