Anime Nite @ The Geek Easy: Remembering Satoshi Kon (8/10)

Hot off the heels of Anime Festival Orlando 13 is our next Anime Nite @ The Geek Easy! It will take place on Friday, August 10th at 8:00PM at A Comic Shop at 114 S. Semoran Blvd. Winter Park, FL 32792. RSVP on Facebook.

In August of 2010, a great visionary left the world as director Satoshi Kon passed away. We will always remember his contributions to Japanese animation and cinema in general.

Recap of today's meeting! 3/27/10 edition!

Today was our first meeting after MegaCon which means we can finally shut up about it for a while. It's too bad we already started talking about Anime Festival Orlando, happening August 6th - 8th! A few people were new to the club today and we discovered that way more than half of the club are film students! Here's a rundown of what happened:

• Talked about what we liked and did not like at MegaCon and shared stories and videos.
• Discussed AFO. Panel submissions, artist alley, and of course Skies of Orlandia!
• We celebrated Brent and Roger's birthdays! If you see either anytime soon, wish them a happy birthday!
• Brandon Heat got all gussied up for Gungrave. Harry is trying to set up traitors while he himself is planning to pull a coup on Millenion.
• Lots of shooting and explosions, featuring Bunji Kugashira! He's straight out of a John Woo 80s flick!
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp-USKnPDbY&feature=player_embedded LoL
• Some people nobody liked died in The Guin Saga. Which should be called The Naris Saga because the 3 episodes we watched were all about him. Guin was probably in the whole thing for like 6 minutes max.
• Guin did cut through a assassin, cutting a tree in half. It was so exciting!
• Naris has been in drag quite a bit while Istovan has taken his own path to become a king. Is it me or did Rinda and Remus grow taller?
• We caught up on Dragonball Z: Abridged. They made filler fun!
• Lots of club members staying in town for spring break. This means barbeque and pool party next weekend! Details to come soon!
• Zak proposed we show Baccano! in the near future. I am behind this. Brent proposed something but I cannot remember what it was!
• Lastly, we showed Satoshi Kon's Paprika. People claimed to "get it." And or course everyone made fun of the fat dude, Tokita.
• Did that big climax remind anyone else of Ultraman?

Next meeting will be on Saturday, April 10th for sure! Cencoroll will be shown as our feature. Since there will be no classes that day, getting a room at a reasonable time will be quite easy! Stay tuned for future announcements!

Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Saturday, March 27th at 4:00pm!

This Saturday, March 27th we will be meeting on the campus of Full Sail University to have fun and watch anime! Our feature showing will be Satoshi Kon's Paprika. You may recall that we watched Perfect Blue at the last club meeting. It was a great movie and the first that Satoshi Kon directed. Paprika is the most recent full-length film that he directed so we will be able to see how is abilities have evolved from 1998 to 2006.

We will also continue on with Gungrave and Guin Saga. Hopefully, we will finish Guin Saga in the next few meetings. It is getting pretty exciting as it appears someone may die soon! We will also share our experiences of MegaCon; good, bad, and just plain weird!

The meeting time will be at 4:00pm and hopefully room FS3B-113 will be available. I do know that finals will be taking place that day but hopefully we will have room free for us regardless.

We want your pictures and videos!

Hey everyone! We're been looking on the internet for pictures and videos of our MegaCon events. We know they exist because we saw you all with cameras at our events! A lot of you got our flyers and hopefully held on to them long enough to discover our website! Anyways, if you have any pictures or video taken of our event, we'd love to post them up!

You can either post links in the comments or you can e-mail them to me at ward.kent_at_gmail_dot_com. I will give you credit for your work if that is something you want!

Looks like our next meeting will be on Sunday, March 28th. We meet on the campus of Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL. The time and location are both tentatively set for 1:00pm in room FS3B-113. We should have no problem getting that room but I'll have a more official post next week!

We're definitely showing Gungrave and The Guin Saga. Both are great series! We are almost halfway through Gungrave and 2/3s into Guin Saga. We normally show a movie since that is something that can be started and finished within a meeting and is great for anyone who can't be at every meeting or just started. I am open to suggestions and I recall hearing one for Satoshi Kon's Paprika. I am totally down for that and I am open to more ideas until this weekend is over.

Next Propeller Anime Club meeting on Saturday, February 13th at 1:00 pm!

This Sunday, we shall be doing bowling at Aloma Bowl for Zak's birthday and we shall meet at Aloma Bowl at 1:30 pm! The next regular meeting we have will be on Saturday, February 13th at 1:00 pm at Full Sail University in FS3B-305. This is a slightly different room but in the same building. What is nice is that there are comfy couches outside the classroom if anyone wants to lounge.

We shall finally watch Special Duty Combat Shinesman! This is a 2-episode OVA that parodies sentai/tokusatsu teams such as the Japanese Power Rangers. We actually have it in our possession so awesomeness should occur!

We'll watch more Gungrave since we didn't get to last time along with Guin Saga.

Hopefully, if we are not strapped for time(meaning, no class in that room at 5:00 pm), we can delve into the greatness of Satoshi Kon, director of fine works such as Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, and more! It is a travesty that our club has not watched any of his movies yet and there is nobody to blame for that except me. So I will try to make right on that this month.

If we don't have time, I have a special throwback for some of you new members. I don't think you have seen it yet. Mwahahahaha!

I will also teach you all about White Day and how the Japanese celebrate Valentines Day. In case some of you actually plan to.

See you all soon!
