Our feature is the most recent Lupin III special, Lupin III: Blood Seal ~ Eternal Mermaid. If the idea of seeing new Lupin III anime doesn't excite you, then you don't deserve to call yourself an anime fan.

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.

Planned Schedule

1:00PM - Introductions and MegaCon discussion

1:15PM - Record of Lodoss War 1 & 2

2:05PM - Gunbuster 1 & 2
3:10PM - Intermission (This means hang out, get food, etc.)

3:35PM - Durarara!! 1 & 2

4:25PM - Castle of Cagliostro

As always, feel free to come in forever you want to see! We have a lot of great stuff lined up! Also, check out our next Anime Nite @ The Geek Easy!

We'll be at MegaCon! Follow us on Twitter @PropellerAnime!

MegaCon is coming up this weekend and it will be an exciting time! We'll be hosting contests, events, and panels all weekend. Look for us in the W224 rooms or at our table in front of W224B. We look forward to see many fans and hopefully some cool, new members that can attend our meetings!

Speaking of which, our next meeting will be Sunday, April 3rd at 1:00PM at Full Sail University. Room and building location to be announced next week. We'll be starting three new series: Gunbuster, Record of Lodoss War, and Durarara!! We will also decide which night we will see REDLINE at the Florida Film Festival!

But that's not all! At the end of each meeting, we show a feature. This time, it will be Hayao Miyazaki's directorial debut, Castle of Cagliostro! It's certainly one of those movies every anime fan should see and a great way to start off the new quarter schedule.

We hope you have at MegaCon or are having fun at MegaCon if you are seeing this over the weekend! Please follow us on twitter @PropellerAnime since that is where updates on our events will be posted this weekend.

Recap of the last meeting! Binary edition!

10/10/10 was this past Sunday! In binary, that is 42, the answer to the secret of the universe! With that, it was definitely time to pop many Lupin cherries with Lupin III: The Last Job! That was a fun adventure with Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, Fujiko, and the lovable Zenigata! And those ninjas were pretty rad, especially the ninja dog!

NEWS:

• EXPCon has come and gone! Nobody in the club went so it is hard to confirm how it good it was!
• Our fourth year anniversary is coming up soon and we will have a party to celebrate! RSVP here!
• The next Anime Festival Orlando will be August 4th-7th, 2011!
• Speaking of festivals, we will be having a field trip to west Orlando for the Orlando Japan Festival on November 7th! Details here!
• Jay and Silent Bob are doing a live podcast in Orlando on Wednesday, March 30th at the Hard Rock Live Orlando! That's right after MegaCon!
• We will be challenging all other anime clubs in Orlando for supremacy, in a dodgeball tournament! Details to come!

RECAP:

Black Lagoon:

• That Colombian Cartel gets owned, leaving Roberta the assassin maid and Revy to go at it in some HOT girl on girl action!
• It was hot.

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

• Robots to the rescue! And a super robotaku is introduced for an episode. He was an alright guy.
• Yuuki got sick and collapsed and Steven G. thought that was funny. Booooo.
• Nobody died.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

• The gang try flying a plane but it crashes because Joseph Joestar was on it. (It's funny if you read the Part 2 of the manga.)
• Then they go ON A BOAT! And the boat is a stand! And the stand user is an orangatang! MADNESS!
• The crew meets Jean Pierre Polnareff, a Frenchman who inspired Benimaru's character design in The King of Fighters and has a stand called Silver Chariot.
• Polnareff joins the crew after Advol owns him hard. From now on, everything terrible in the series will happen to him because he's French.
• They make it to India where everyone is poor and Polnareff leaves to find the killer of his sister. (He has two right hands due to family in-breeding!)
• Avdol gets capped in the head by a classy stand user named Hol Horse. Polnareff cried manly tears. EVERYONE in this club should know what that means for next time!

The fourth year anniversary club part will be on Saturday, October 23rd! Please come out whether you are new to the club, been gone a while, or just a friend of ours! We'd love to see everyone!

Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Sunday, October 10th!

Next club meeting will be on Sunday, October 10th at 1:00pm at Full Sail University! Since there will be an open house on campus, we shall go into hiding at FS3F-112, in the building closest to Wendy's and Winghouse. It's made of bricks.

Our feature showing will be the much talked about television special that aired in Japan earlier that year, Lupin III: The Last Job! I haven't seen it yet but Lupin and his usual friends are trying to steal a treasure. (I'm just as surprised as you are!) But so are ninjas! Zenigata, the inspector that always tries to capture Lupin, may or may not have been killed by said ninjas. It's Lupin III so chances of it being awesome are pretty high!

In addition, we'll be showing episodes 3 and 4 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. With his mother's life on the line, Jotaro Kujo and his grandfather Joseph Joestar, along with Advol and Kakyoin head to Egypt to kill the vampire Dio Brando, who not only has the body of ancestor Jonathan Joestar, but is the root of the deadly illness Jotaro's mother faces!

The trip will not go as planned and the party will learn that enemy stands can do just about anything and wielded by just about anyone. (Well, anyone that can posses stands.) The series will soon live up to its name as a bizarre adventure!

In Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, we'll be showing episodes 7 and 8! Remember those rescue robots in episode 1? Good! Also, it looks the trip so far will take a massive toll on one of the three main characters that are trying to make it back home. Will someone die!? (Actually, I don't know yet.)

In episodes 9 and 10 of Black Lagoon, Revy will swear a lot and shoot people! Actually, they were delivering a package in the form of a child of a wealthy family to be sold to a Colombian cartel. Except Roberta, the family's maid who's actually a KILLER SUPER SOLDIER ASSASSIN CHICK, will have something to say about that!

Lots of excitement to look forward to! Hope to see you all on the 10th!
