Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Sunday, May 8th!
Depending on who you are, either welcome back from Spring break or congrats on your finals! Or perhaps congrats on graduating! Life has changed for quite a few of you but one thing that will never go away is Propeller Anime Club!
With that said, our next meeting will be on Sunday, May 8th at 1:00PM in FS3F-112 at Full Sail University in Building 3F. I've been looking to showing this feature for quite some time!
Our club has a lot of fans of Mamoru Hosoda, myself included. At the beginning of the year, we all enjoyed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and last year we were thrilled to see his masterpiece Summer Wars.
Before he went to Madhouse, he had a final run at TOEI taking what would become Japan's biggest anime and manga franchise and twisting it to a dark tale of mistrust, failure, and redemption.
Some have come up with the theory that this movie is symbolic of his time at Studio Ghibli when he was the original director of Howl's Moving Castle(before Hayao Miyazaki took over). Either way, it's a dark, fresh take on the pirates from One Piece.
Planned Schedule
1:00PM - Introduction and News
1:15PM - Record of Lodoss War 5 & 6
2:05PM - Gunbuster 5 & 6 (END)
3:10PM - Intermission(This means hang out, get food, etc.)
3:35PM - Durarara! 5 & 6
4:25PM - One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
4:25PM - One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island

Recap of the last meeting! 1/9/11 edition!
The new year has started off on a fabulous note! The Propeller Anime Club has much to look forward to as we become the driving force of anime fandom in Orlando! And then... the galaxy! (Okay, probably not!)
NEWS

- We will crush Anime Spot in dodgeball on February 5th! Team tryouts are this Sunday!
- Thursday, January 20th, we go see GANTZ! Get your ticket early!
- Orlando Anime Day is on Saturday, January 22nd! Field trip time!
- Mamoru Hosoda is the director of Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and you best not forget that!
- We have a future partnership with an awesome venue waiting in the wings! We will publicly announce it soon! It will be good for the club and even better for the local anime community!
Recaps
Mobile Suit Gundam: The 8th M.S. Team - Shiro Amada becomes the commander of an Earth Federation ground unit of mobile suits that are trying to fight Zeon forces in the jungles of southeast asia. While traveling through space, he meets a lovely Zeon pilot named Aina Saharin and the two will be fated to meet again as he has her precious watch. During this, we see that Shiro is pretty good at going off on his own and kicking some ass!
Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage - The Lagoon Group is back but a pair of murdering kids that may or may not be vampires rampage Hotel Moscow, causing the crime lords of Roanapur to get together and organize a heated coalition. It doesn't work well and the creepy vampire kids kill some more people and make out and do other naughty things. Now there is a big bounty on their heads and Revy and Eda from the Church of Violence(my favorite kind of church) band together to take the kids out!
Cromartie High School - Good natured Kamiyama goes to the delinquent-filled Cromartie High School and ends up becoming the leader of his tough and rugged class. Then he tries to form pacts with the other tough students of his school, with Freddie Mercury, a gorilla, and a robot(that every else thinks is a real person) chief among them. And then they all hum. I did not properly describe the ridiculous of this show but it is awesome!
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - This movie that is totally directed by Mamoru Hosoda and created by Madhouse is incredibly fantastic and highly emotional. It shows what happens when a simple girl can go back through time to try to fix the little things in her life to make it better. But even the smallest changes come with a high price. We see things like jealousy develop amongst friends, would-be romances that will now never happen, and even public humiliation. Auntie Which said it best, one person's happiness is someone else's misery.
Anyways, that was our first meeting! Lots of fun was had! Make sure you check our schedule regularly!

First Meeting of 2011 on Sunday, January 9th!
Welcome to 2011, anime fans! I hope you all had a very nice break since the final meeting we had last year. It's a bright new day for the Propeller Anime Club and we will continue to get together and watch some great animation from Japan!
Our first meeting of the year will be on Sunday, January 9th at 1pm at Full Sail University in FS3F-111 in building 3F. (You can view the layout here.) It will be a fresh start for everyone, whether you are attending your first meeting or happen to be a club veteran. What does that mean? That means we are starting each series from the first episode!
Planned Schedule:
1:00PM - Introduction and News
1:15PM - Mobile Suit Gundam: The 8th M.S. Team
2:10PM - Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage
3:00PM - Intermission
3:20PM - Cromartie High School
4:00PM - The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
First up for the first quarter of 2011, we will be showing mecha war drama Mobile Suit Gundam: The 8th M.S. Team. The series takes place during the One Year War in which the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon are fighting a brutal guerrilla war for control of the jungles of Southeast Asia and its resources. In addition to the giant robot battles, there will also be a forbidden romance between an Earth Federation soldier and the daughter of a Zeon noble family.
Next up is Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage. This is the sequel to the original Black Lagoon we watched last fall. The series features the missions of a mercenary group that include a psychotic dual gun wielding she-devil and a timid Japanese salaryman turned badass. There will be lots of of shooting, cursing, and explosions. Oh, and their next mission will be taking on twin assassins that may be vampires!
Our third series will be Cromartie High School, a comedy about the daily life of an above average student and his oddball delinquent classmates that not only feature some of the toughest, meanest high school thugs in all of Japan, but also a gorilla, a robot - that nobody in the series realizes in a robot, even though it is obvious - and a mute beefcake that has an uncanny resemblance to Freddie Mercury! The series is episodic and features a lot of tough guy humor.
Our feature for the meeting will be The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, directed by the acclaimed Mamoru Hosoda(Summer Wars). When Makoto Kanno fatefully gets the ability to travel back in time by leaping, she uses those powers to make her life a more fun one by changing small events in her life that she wish would have gone differently. When she discovers the limits of her powers and what serious affects the changes she makes in the past have, she has to make a hard choice that may result in the loss of true happiness.
A lot of great stuff is planned and we hope you can make it out, whether you are a veteran member or a potential new member who wants to watch cool anime with new friends! See you all this Sunday!
