ANIME NITE ORLANDO: You Can [Not] Advance! (3/13)

We're celebrating a year of Anime Nite Orlando at Bikkuri Lounge on Thursday, March 13th with a double-dose of Gainax! We're showing Evangelion 2.22: You Can [Not] Advance and Diebuster!

RSVP on Facebook!

Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Sunday, June 19th!

The next Propeller Anime Club meeting will be on Sunday, June 19th at Full Sail University in Building 3F in FS3F-112 at 1:00PM. Here is a map.

We have a change of plans for the feature based on the less than stellar response to it at the last meeting. This time, I will bring in five anime movies that EVERY ANIME FAN SHOULD SEE and we will watch the one most of the people at the meeting have not seen. That sounds pretty simple, right?

Planned Schedule:

1:00PM - Introduction and News

1:15PM - Record of Lodoss War 11 - 13 (END)

2:35PM - Diebuster 5 & 6 (END)

3:35PM - Intermission (This means get food, socialize, etc.)

3:55PM - Durarara 11 & 12

4:45PM - Mystery Movie

In Record of Lodoss War, Parn rescued Deedlit while Ashram went down in flames with Pirotess... OR DID THEY!? (Actually I don't remember what happens next.) Anyways, there will be a final showdown and it will be awesome. (I remember that much!)

In Diebuster, we found out during a battle with aliens that Nono is a GODDAMN BUSTER MACHINE. Not just a buster machine but the LEGENDARY one. So we'll finish this fun series as well.

We'll be completing the first arc of Durarara!! In these episodes, the owner of Celty's head will be revealed along with who founded Dollars.

This is actually the last meeting of the quarter. We'll start our third quarter of 2011 on Sunday, July 10th. During that time, a new format for club meetings will be worked on to make club meeting more fresh and fun.

Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Sunday, June 5th!

The next Propeller Anime Club meeting will be Sunday, June 3rd at 2:30PM at Full Sail in Building 3F, room FS3F-115. Note the time and room change. You can view an interactive campus map here.

With Conquerors of Neo-Orlandia coming up at AFO and it heavily influenced by cyberpunk anime and movies, we thought it would be best to show off an anime that has been a form of inspiration for Neo-Orlandia: Armitage III.

Earlier in the day, open auditions for Conquerors of Neo-Orlandia tavern characters will be taking place. So immediately get any hopefuls on the same page(and to also attract some new club members) we'll actually be showing the feature FIRST. We won't make a habit of this but we hope many of you come out and see the movie; it's really good.

Planned Schedule

2:30PM - Introduction and News

2:40PM - Armitage III

4:15PM - Record of Lodoss War 9 & 10

5:10PM - Intermission(This means hang out, get food, etc.)

5:35PM - Diebuster 3 & 4

6:35PM - Durarara!! 9 & 10

Here are more details about what we are showing:

Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Sunday, May 22nd!

Our next meeting of Propeller Anime Club will be one of the most important yet! It will be in FS3F-112 at Full Sail's building 3F on Sunday, May 22nd at 1PM!

With Gunbuster finished, we have leveled up once again as anime fans! However, new challenges await us! It's time to take our first trip together into the Leijiverse!

For those who do not know, Leiji Matsumoto is one of Japan's most accomplished creators. He has created  groundbreaking works such as Space Battleship Yamato, Galaxy Express 999, and most relevant today: Space Pirate Captain Harlock! Some of you youngins may be more familiar with his work on Daft Punk's music videos. The center of the Leijiverse is the prequel to Captain Harlock, known as Arcadia of my Youth.

From ANN:

The Earth has been conquered by the evil Illumidus Empire with parallels drawn to the post WWII occupation of Japan. Captain Harlock with a group that will become his life long friends begin their fight against this tyranny visited upon the planet earth with no regard to the costs the struggle will have on them, caring only for the ideal of restoring freedom to the people of earth.

Planned Schedule

1:00PM - Introduction and News

1:10PM - Record of Lodoss War 7 & 8

2:00PM - Diebuster 1 & 2

3:00PM - Intermission(This means hang out, get food, etc.)

3:25PM - Durarara! 7 & 8
4:20PM - Arcadia of my Youth

But that's not all! We'll be debuting a new anime series to watch!

 

A spiritual sequel to Gunbuster, Diebuster comes from Gainax. It debuted 15 years after Gunbuster was released.  Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki(FLCL, End of Evangelion), Diebuster is a new story about cute girls who pilot robots and fight invading aliens. I've been told that there is some FLCL influence in this series and we shall determine that soon!

In Record of Lodoss War, Parn has been trained by Lord Cashew and has been brought in to serve King Faan as one of his Holy Knights. A war is about to start between Faan and Emperor Beld, former members of the "Six Heroes" that defeated a demon god 30 years ago. It's a classic struggle between good and evil, but who will survive?

In Durarara!! a plot begins to unravel in the town of Ikebukuro. Celty has dreams about finding her head and thoughts about whether she loves Shinra. Shizuo Heiwajima has a whole episode dedicated to him being a bad-ass dude and having flashbacks about his brother.

That's it for now. We'll have some news on Anime Festival Orlando and Florida Anime Experience soon so check those out!
