Hilary 2006 - SeriesHere's a list of the series we're showing this term at our regular meetings.Please note that we show all our anime in Japanese with English subtitles, as opposed to dubbed in English. Cowboy Bebop The adventures of a bunch of misfit bounty hunters - the laidback Spike, paternal Jet, sexy Faye, crazy Ed and the cybernetic dog Ein - who live aboard the spaceship Bebop. A much-loved late 90's classic featuring great animation and the best-selling music of Yoko Kanno. RahXephon Ayato Kamina is a schoolboy in Tokyo, 2012AD. When the city is attacked by a mysterious organisation called MU, Ayato finds himself piloting RahXephon, a giant winged robot. This doesn't confuse him as much as discovering that Tokyo is not the last city on Earth, and that his mother has blue blood, in a very literal sense. Popular mecha series from the studio that brought us Full Metal Alchemist and Wolf's Rain. Princess Tutu Once upon a time there was a man who died whilst writing a fairy tale. Yet the fairy tale carried on without him, and in that fairy tale there was a girl, who was a princess, who was a duck... Surreal and captivating, Princess Tutu examines the nature of storytelling whilst throwing in ballet-dancing lobsters and a marriage-obsessed cat. Gankutsuou A futuristic re-telling of Alexander Dumas' classic novel "The Count of Monte Cristo", one of this year's biggest hits tells the story of a young noble, Albert de Morcerf, and the dramatic events that unfold after he meets the enigmatic Count during a holiday on the Moon. Labyrinthine melodrama and intoxicating visuals from the renowned Studio Gonzo. Random Episode of the Week Everyone likes randomness - every week we'll show an episode of something completely different. From campus comedy to moody horror, from detective thrillers to hardcore scifi, the mindboggling array of anime available gets showcased here. Random Comedy Shortlist Having finished the first story arc of Slayers, we're auditioning a selection of comedy series to decide what we should show next term. Likely contenders are Vandread, Tenchi Muyo!, Ranma 1/2, Fruits Basket, Azumanga Daioh and anything else our twisted minds can come up with. You'll have a chance to vote by e-mail over the vacation - don't worry, there'll be a summary on this page of the series to remind you what they're like, or give you an idea about any you might have missed. We have also bid farewell to the following series this term: Slayers Lina Inverse, one of the greatest (and shortest, and greediest, and...) sorceresses in all the land, and her band of unfortunate (and frequently unwilling) companions, adventure away merrily in this classic fantasy comedy based on a popular novel series that spawned two sequels and several film spin-offs. Replaced by the comedy shortlist. Melody of Oblivion In a future where monsters have taken over the Earth after a massive, secret war against humanity, a young boy sets out with a sentient motorcycle and orgasmic (literally) archery skills to fight back and free the Melody of Oblivion from their clutches. A cult favourite from 2004 featuring some distinctly odd visual metaphor and the creepiest parrot in anime. Replaced by RahXephon. Additionally: Ghibli Night - we've actually had this now! An afternoon of Ghibli films including the classic Nausicaa and massive box office hit Spirited Away. Other occasional themed weirdness, depending on the whims of the Committee.
