Report on October 26 meeting

Posted in Meeting Reports at 8:11 pm by mark

Today’s scheduled episodes were Naruto #6, RahXephon #18, Hikaru no Go #15, Scrapped Princess #5, and the weirder-than-usual Galaxy Angel #18. However, due to an error on my part, I didn’t have the Scrapped Princess episode with me, so we watched the first episode of the classic OVA All-Purpose Cultural Catgirl Nuku-Nuku instead.

As an experiment, I’ll put summaries of today’s episodes in the “extended entry” below.

It was a good meeting, with 9 attendees, including a couple of faces I hadn’t seen for a while, and a new member as well.

Next meeting will be Sunday, November 9, from 1:15 PM to 3:15 PM.

Naruto #6: Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are completing simple “D-level” missions, and Naruto’s fed up with it. The Hokage responds by giving Kakashi’s team a “C-level” mission, escorting a bridge builder to his home country. On the way, mysterious ninja from the Hidden Village of Mist attack…

RahXephon #18: In Tokyo Jupiter, Ayato is trying to figure out the truth about his mother, while Haruka and Elvy try to get close enough to rescue him. Meanwhile, Quon summons a huge egg with her song, and speaks briefly with Mishima Reika before disappearing with the egg. Ayato flees from his home and meets his old school friend Asahina Hiroko, who is injured and losing it. Ayato and Hiroko reach Rah Xephon and escape from Tokyo Jupiter.

Hikaru no Go #15: At a public Go tournament match, Hikaru learns how to play Go over the Internet. He goes to an Internet cafe where Mitani’s sister works and creates an account named “sai”, and promises Sai he’ll let him play Go over the Internet every day during the summer.

Galaxy Angel #18: Forte, Mint, and Vanilla visit a space station when Forte’s ship breaks down. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a medical research station — and an escaped virus has turned all the people to monkeys…

Nuku-Nuku OVA #1: Natsume Kyusaku and his son Ryuunosuke are on the run from Kyusaku’s wife, Akiko, whose grandfather wanted to make Kyusaku’s android invention into a weapon. Just as Ryuunosuke befriends a stray cat, Akiko’s employees Kyouko and Arisa open fire on the fugitives, badly injuring the cat. Kyusaku looks at the cat, then at his android prototype…
