winter season meetings, and predictions

[Firemage]

Well they will start next friday at the normal time of 5pm

I'd like to set up a line up orginization meeting (as i promissed) either Thursday or Friday before the meeting.

Now as for likely retained shows, (these are guesses nothing is in stone yet)

Black Lagoon (even if second barrage is really a new show)
Needless
Railgun

admin slots will of course depend on that admin

Of course
Kampher has ended
as has K-on

I suggest the dropping of Shangra-la, Last Exile was kick ass but seem that Gonzo really lost the spark that let them create shows like Exile.

New season pick up suggestions (trying to be unbiased in these)
Durarara - it's about street gangs motorcycles and from the Baccano creator. (remember for a moment i don't even like Baccano)
Dance of the Vampire Bund - if anything like the manga it's going to be violent bloody and involving vampires and werewolves.
Omamori Himari - honestly i like the manga, might be a bit to fanservice based for some people but the manga's been good
Ookamikakushi - Higurashi creator + Peach Pit, there are fair number of fans of both around so might go over well
Baka to Test to Shokanju - has a fun opening and ending, now while that might be a huge rubric for me, others may not agree.

Shows from the new season i do NOT recommend (completely biased based here)
Ladies vs Butlers! - yea, large breasted moe groping in the first 10 sec before the opening, as well as fanservice goes over, this show seems to be pushing over the top Moe a little too hard.
Chu-bra- it's about school "underwear" club i'll leave it at that
So Ra No Wo To - looks cute almost K-on like, i might enjoy it on the side but after the reactions to K-on, an anime some are billing as K-on goes to War, may not go over to well.
Qwaser no Stigmata - read the manga, a really bad east asian understanding of Christianity made it just unreadable and i'm fairly flexible when it comes to that stuff.

Well there are my comments

post if you would rather a thursday meeting or a friday afternoon (2pmish) one

Either time works for me; my last class on Thursday lets out at 12:45. And don't forget, we finished Genshiken as well; I'd try to get my hands on the OVAs and second season if I could, but it's a tad out of my price range at the moment.

I second the "HELL NO" in regard to Chu-bra and LvB (everything I've read about those two rubs me the wrong way). I'd like to give Slayers another shot, since most folks seemed to like it when we showed it last semester. If it were up to me, I'd also toss the Negima: Ala Alba OVAs in, but considering they're set nearly 200 chapters into the story with virtually no recap, I know almost everyone watching would be completely lost, so it's probably just as well that we don't.

I'll try and think of some other good potential picks when I get the chance...

Gabe, I agree with all your suggestions and I have already started watching most every show on that list, including the ones that you suggested we shouldn't watch. I will definitely agree that Chu-Bra and Ladies vs. Butlers! are both not appropriate for most of the Anime Club members, so it is best to stray away from those. However, So Ra No Wo To, even though being pretty much Fantasy Military K-On, really inspired me with the first episode, and I think I, along with several club members are going to enjoy a lot of the K-Onish elements that it has to offer. And I believe I already told you that I work at 4:30 on Thursday, so anything before 2:30 is good for me.

To all members: The meeting's currently set to start between 1:00 and 1:30. If you can make it, PLEASE try to attend.

I should be there then.^^

[Firemage]

1 pm i need to get the room but Karen told me they had a room open then just need to go do the paperwork,

there will always be paperwork

[chma]

That is the worst possible time for me. For the record, I would like to nominate Black Lagoon, Railgun, Fairy Tail, and Slayers (any of the runs).

Just finished watching Baka to Test to Shokanju, it has the funniest ending that I have ever seen.
