Report on November 9 meeting

Posted in Meeting Reports at 10:26 pm by mark

Today’s scheduled episodes were Naruto #7, RahXephon #19, Hikaru no Go #16, Scrapped Princess #5, and Galaxy Angel #19. This time I had everything loaded up properly beforehand, so the episodes were shown with no trouble. We had 8 members in attendance today, mostly the same folks as last time.

Like last time, I’ll put summaries of today’s episodes in the “extended entry” below.

Next meeting will be Sunday, November 23, from 1:15 PM to 3:15 PM.

Naruto #7: Kakashi’s team accompanies the bridge builder Tazuna to the Country of the Wave. On the way, they learn that a powerful and wealthy shipping magnate is trying to kill Tazuna to prevent the completion of the bridge. Then we learn how hard he’s trying to kill Tazuna…

RahXephon #19: Ayato and Hiroko are on the run. They find a place to stay, and Ayato finds a part-time job, while Hiroko tries to find a way to tell Ayato that her blood is blue; she has strange visions of herself. As the pursuers draw near, a dolem appears, and RahXephon flies to Ayato; as he boards RahXephon, Ayato promises to protect Hiroko. As we see Ayato fighting the dolem, however, we see that the dolem is somehow linked to Hiroko, and its damage is reflected on her body. She scrawls a final farewell to Ayato as the dolem is destroyed. Futagami finds Ayato and leads him away, only to be intercepted by agents of the Barbem Foundation.

Hikaru no Go #16: Hikaru, true to his word, is letting Sai play dozens of games over the Internet, and now amateurs worldwide are wondering who this strong “sai” could be. As the international amateur tournament gets under way in Japan, many of the attendees are hoping to discover “sai”‘s identity.

Scrapped Princess #5: Shannon, Raquel, Pacifica, and Leo encounter a mysterious minstrel. The minstrel controls small electronic bugs, one of which poisons Pacifica. Raquel and Leo race to get help from the knight-turned-doctor Doyle Barrett; in the process, the minstrel reveals to Barrett and Leo that Pacifica is the Scrapped Princess.

Galaxy Angel #19: Milfeulle goes with Nomat to learn table manners, since she’s won a dinner at a fancy restaurant. They run into a robot pastry chef who is being pursued by ninjas.
