Alas, technical difficulties with the library’s TV/VCR forced us to cancel this meeting, since the VCR devoured the tape Mark brought for us. After a valiant battle between our more technically savvy members and the ravenous mechanical beast, we freed the tape, but since both the VCRs the library has are now broken, we couldn’t watch any of our shows.
Thanks anyway to our members who did make it, Jared, Jimmy, and Robert, and as always to Mark for providing the tape!
Barring complete disaster, our next meeting should go forward as usual on Saturday, July 31 from 1:15 to 3:45 pm, at the library. We’ll be watching the episodes we would have seen at the July 17 meeting:
Naruto #19, Full Metal Alchemist #5, Hikaru no Go #29, Scrapped Princess #17, and Galaxy Angel II #7-8.
See you there!

At the June 19 meeting, as scheduled, we watched Naruto #18, Full Metal Alchemist #4, Hikaru no Go #28, Scrapped Princess #16, and Galaxy Angel II #5-6.
Attendance was pretty light, and in fact besides myself only one new member, Jared (though a different Jared from the May 14 Jared), watched all the episodes.
Next meeting is Saturday, July 17. I will be unable to attend, but Kris will be there and I will drop off a tape with the scheduled episodes.

Hi everyone,
Hope all of you are getting ready for a fantastic July 4th weekend! Just a reminder, no meeting this week, it’ll be two weeks from this Saturday. No serious club business to report this time around, but at the next meeting, we will be discussing the club policy toward fansubs; depending on the feedback we receive, it may affect how we select shows in the future, so come and voice your opinions!!!
This Saturday is also Free Comic Book Day, so check out what’s going on at your local comic book store(s) and maybe bring a couple of friends along to introduce them to the wonders of comics!
News:
Just a couple of things:
The first Inuyasha movie will be airing on Cartoon Network on Saturday, October 23. Also, on November 6, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex will begin airing on Adult Swim.
MTV2 is apparently having an anime festival of some kind this Saturday, for those who have that channel. I’m not sure what they’ll be airing, except for one title, called Galerians: Rion, a cyberpunk type thing. Check out the press release here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/pressrelease.php?id=441m
Ah My Goddess fans will be happy to learn that a new series is in the works, which is set after the OAV series and will continue the storyline as laid out in the manga version. It should be released later this year.
No major releases this week, so I’ll sign off. Have a great weekend!
