==========ZOMG HOT NEWS UPDATE==========

For those of us who've ordered our T-Shirts, they are now ready to be collected on Wednesday.

=======ZOMG END OF HOT NEWS UPDATE======

 ...aaaaanyway, this Wednesday, we'll be showing:

Casshern Sins - After the murder of Luna, the robot society that rules the planet starts to rust and decay. Death and despair spread through the land like wildfire. The only one unaffected by what becomes known as "The Ruin" is Luna's assassin, Casshern. Unable to remember if he really triggered this capital sin against the entire mechanized civilization, Casshern embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery that connects him, Luna, and the plague.

Ga-Rei Zero - The Japanese Ministry of Defense has an anti-paranormal special forces group called the Paranormal Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters. They're the ones responsible to protect Japanese soil and its people from supernatural and paranormal events. However, things didn't go so well in one of their missions, which leads to intervention by the Ministry of Enviroment's Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division after the PDCH has sustained large numbers of casualties battling demons.

We shall also be doing another "Dan shows pictures of the new season stuff and tries to maintain his decorum as we bellow things at him" event, so remember to bring your bellows.

This Saturday, we shall be showing, as advertized, some new season stuff, some "Classic" *shudder* anime, and the winner of our continuation voting, Ergo Proxy. Boy just as well the all-consuming stress of 4 essays in 4 weeks stopped me from watching the LUMAS copy I borrowed over easter off Dan, eh? >_> And just for the record, the last email sent out wasn't a typo - if you'd voted for "Kannozuki no Miko Junjou Romantica", we'dve been watching them both AT THE SAME TIME MOTHERFUCKER.

Just in case you forgt, we're in.... you know what, sod it. You've had 20 fucking weeks of these emails already - if you're coming, you're coming, if you're not, you're not. With that, see you all on Wednesday!

RETROSPECTIVE UPDATE OF *WRAR*!

In a (probably futile) effort to try and entice people to come along on Saturdays, here is what we have lined up for Saturday:

New Season Pick: *07-Ghost*Set in a gothic fantasy world, this is the story of Teito Klein, an orphaned slave who became the top military academy student. However, an unexpected turn of events left him pursued by the forces of the Barsburg Empire. Now an escaping convict, Teito's sheltered by the church and it?s law of sanctuary. Here, he discovered many mysteries surrounding himself, the church, and the Empire itself. The fact that he might be connected to a dethroned king and the mystical stone of god, 'The Eye of Mikhael' made him the target of the empire more than ever. Fortunately the church is under the mythical 7 Ghost protection. But who are the Ghosts really. Will Teito be free from the military's clutch, And what of his said mission to uncover the history. And who is the military's Chief-of-Staff Ayanami exactly. Teito's future seems to have spiraled into an unexpectedly perilous path.

Continuation Series: *Ergo Proxy*In a future where the world has been ravaged by a nuclear apocalyse, there exists salvation in a domed city named "Romdeau", where humans and their android servants, the autoreivs, live in. Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Real Mayar, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autoreiv partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romdeau.

Classic Series Pick: *Trigun*Vash the Stampede is a gunman on the run with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head which has made it difficult for him to go anywhere without being chased and shot at. Every town he ever visits ends up being destroyed because of his pursuers, but miraculously no one ever gets killed. Meryl and Milly are two insurance agents that have been sent to find Vash the Stampede and keep him under surveillance so no more damage is caused. Meryl, who leads the pair, refuses to believe that the man they have met can possibly be the legendary gunman. This spikey haired, gangly, young man is extremely friendly, a pacifist, hates blood and suicide, absolutely loves donuts, and is a dork and a crybaby (far from a notorious outlaw). But there is more to Vash and his past than meets the eye.
