[Anime] GFF Anime Club

Tonight I've decided that instead of starting a new series that we'll watch a movie instead. We'll be watching Summer Wars and then finishing up Dokkoida.

I'll need two new series come Tuesday so I'll be asking for suggestions again

That said we'll be starting soon enough. Gotta go queue things up. =)

FELIPE NO

Tonight we are starting two new shows: Black Heaven and Magipoka~

Hope to see you guys in perhaps 10 to 15 minutes. =)

Additional Spam:
Okay we're having technical difficulties with fucking OGM files I'm dealing with so it'll probably be another 10 minutes or something. God damn.

Additional Spam:
okay finally figured a temporary solution

show will be starting very shortly

sorry for the huuuuge delay

fucking ogm grumble grumble

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

For future reference if I ever come across any OGM files

MKVtoolnix 4.5.0 - VideoHelp.com Downloads

mkvmerge will mux that shitty ogm into a mkv container

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I am very busy this week. I do not believe it wise to do the show. Hopefully next week will be better. Sorry.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, probably. This week and maybe even next week are gonna be hell.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Alright I think I'll be able to manage this week. I just have to be diligent for my other activities.

Anyway, show will start in about an hour or so. Waiting for, pack~ <3


Also I'm happy to report that I'm coming along in some of the backlog of archive shows. They aren't available yet but I've got the process down and hopefully I'll be able to get out a bunch soon enough.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Alright tonight is going to be a bit longer than I expected. About eight episodes worth cuz 10-13 of Black Heaven and the final three of Magipoka plus 3 half-episode OVAs. I'm going to be starting shortly.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Alright new series tonight: NieA under 7 and Squid Girl.

Should start in about an hour or less. I'm actually prepared for the most part today. =)

Additional Spam:
Due to Glee we will be starting in 30 minutes so pack can watch with us. =I

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I should be starting tonight's show in about 20 or so minutes.

I've made slight progress on the archives. The last broadcast is available which should at the very least help people watching our current shows. Hopefully more to follow.

FELIPE NO

Starting a bit late - laundry day~ it's a very dangerous day

see you guys in a couple minutes

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Gonna start around 9 PM EST so like uh 45 minutes or so. We'll be finishing up both NieA Under 7 and Squid Girl tonight. NieA has four episodes left so we'll be running slightly late.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

GFF ANIME CLUB JAPAN DISASTER DONATION DRIVE

We joked about on Thursday that the next replacement show should be Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Since it was mentioned I went and investigated the show and watched the first two episodes. It's actually quite good. Now I know the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan is quite a touchy subject and perhaps showing a series with such content is in bad taste but it gave me a very good idea.

For every broadcast of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 I will put aside $50 to donate to Red Cross that goes specifically to aiding Japan at the end of the week. That will be a minimum of $100 per week. The show is only 11 episodes and with 3 episodes per broadcast it'll only take me 2 weeks with 4 broadcasts.

In addition to that I will also tally the viewers that have stuck around to the end of that evening's showing of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and I'll donate a further $5 per viewer. So for example if I see that I have 10 viewers at the end the last episode for TM8 that night then that will be another $50 that I will donate.

Please note that I'll be asking for the names of folk who watched for my tally. I'm well and able to count who is watching the stream and who is in the chat, yet I would hope there isn't a trolling of numbers or some such. In any case I'd like to know who has shown up and watched and have an official count.

To make sure that my card works I've already donated the $10 minimum to the red cross and it looks like it went through. Viewers are not obligated to make any donations themselves but do feel free to do so. This is just my silly way of doing things.

If after TM8 is over that evening you may stick around for a more light-hearted show. Speaking of that does anyone have a good light-hearted/comedy show in mind?


As an aside I am going to be showing six episodes of Baccano! this evening starting in a little under an hour at around 7 PM EST. Please join me for a grand time aboard the flying pussyfoot~

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well they do mention that if they get too much money they'll spend the donations elsewhere.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Haha some of those seem like some wonderful CHz challenge type material for sure. Tails, would you recommend them over Hidamari Sketch which right now is the high ranking recommendation for that slot?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Thanks for the recommendations, Tails. I've downloaded them in the meantime but for now I'm just gonna go with Hidamari Sketch.

Tonight starts donation drive thing (I'm unsure of what is the best title for it so I'll just call it that). I'm running a bit late because I'm setting up a few images and things. Hopefully, things should be coming together shortly. Maybe 15 - 30 min from now.

I was speaking idiomatically.

10 people (not including myself) were there for most of the Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 broadcast so that will net $100 for tonight. Hope to see you guys again on Thursday so I can make this week's donation an even $200. <3<3<3~

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Alright well I'm gonna start the show in a bit. Hope to see you guys there. =)

Additional Spam:
Seven people tonight (besides myself) so that brings this week's total donation to $185 which I have donated to the Red Cross. Thanks for watching and taking part of the donation broadcast, guys! =))))

FELIPE NO

Haha well that's nice. =)

Boop boop gonna go set up the show right now. Should start in like I dunno 10 minutes or something. See you guys there for the continued donation broadcast. =Y

Additional Spam:
Nine people showed up although two were anonymous and never said anything however I could see at the very least that they were watching. I suppose it was only seven that were there most of the time but whatever I'll go with nine people. So that's $95 for tonight that I'll add to whatever we get on Thursday.

Most amazing jew boots

Last night for the donation stuff. Finishing up Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and Hidamari Sketch tonight. Hopefully we'll get a decent number of people. I should be getting the show prepped and ready to go in about 10 minutes. See ya there! =D

Additional Spam:
8 people this evening for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. What a downer of an ending. Good though I guess. Anyway that's same as last week so another $185. Thanks again for showing up to this, guys. =)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I went on AniDB to look up your suggestions pack and from related shows I've come up with what I think would fit the slot nicely:
Mononoke
Dennou Coil
Ergo Proxy
Mushishi

You know what? Listing and copy/pasting that felt like a dumb effort for some reason so lets expend more by nit-picking what I didn't choose from your list~

Jigoku Shoujo certainly looks interesting but it's three seasons long. Not sure. I'd need to know more.

Elfen Leid - the modern baby's first anime some are now calling it for some reason. It was an interesting concept but had far too much drama and the ending felt kind of rushed which might be true since the manga had not finished by that time.

Texhnolyze looks as drab as Lain and if the reception for NieA Under 7 is any indication this one won't fair much better. I may be writing this one off too early though but NieA left a bad taste in my mouth. I only watched like 3 episodes of Lain as well so I'm probably jumping the gun here but I think I'd like to have a bit more time before trying another Yoshitoshi ABe show.

Gankutsuou was awesome. I feel like this is a show most people have probably already seen but yes it was pretty awesome. Loved the artstyle.

I'm a little hesitant on showing Last EXILE. I've heard some good things about it be it character design and setting but I've also heard it takes a while to get the plot rolling and that it has an extremely shittastic ending where none of the plot lines are resolved. This coupled with a Gonzo coming back from the dead to make a sequel series that follows the new censorship standards doesn't drive me to think it'll fix any of the mentioned but probably make it worse or ignore the first series entirely. I don't think all of Gonzo's stuff is bad but there are reasons why they died.

I'm not gonna list here so I'll just go over what you've chosen briefly for the comedy slot~

Ouran High was a fun series. Minami-ke is BOSS but I also recall it being a bit slow. Manabi Straight was pretty much pointless for me. It had its moments but was mostly emotional bullshit instead of the fun comedy I'd first thought it to be. Sumomomo Momomo was just silly to the point of dumb from the little I watched of it. The poor production values made it strangely endearing though. Ichigo Mashimaro is <3 and I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Not trying to be a snob here or anything (wait I kind of am - what a douche!). Totally appreciate the list. I really really do but I wanted to put out my thoughts on the subject or at least perhaps my misguided opinions in some cases.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Information on that is right here:

You interested in joining us, Tritoch? I can put you on my mental list of people to spam before the show. Course I probably spam a lot of people who probably don't want to be on that list who just haven't said anything to tell me t quit it already. =I

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There is a movie I'd actually like to play that I finally got a hold of after waiting for several months: Welcome to the Space Show. It's made by the same team that did Read or Die. It's a little over 2 hours long and has a Ghibli feel. It'd certainly take up most of a broadcast.

Also I did joke about doing a double feature of Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro. I think I might actually do that sometime. =')

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well since I'm not exactly sure what I want to show series-wise I think I'll make this week "movie week". I'll be showing Welcome to the Space Show tonight which will take up the entire broadcast. It's pretty long. I do hope you join us in about say 30 minutes or so when I begin (sorry for the late start - bit groggy today) as it's a pretty enjoyable movie.

Additional Spam:
Alright we're raring to go. Hope to see you guys there. Only three of us at the moment.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro tonight just like it was released in theatres. We'll be starting very shortly. Hope to see you there. =)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No anime club tonight. Just not quite feeling up to it. Not sure about Thursday yet. I might show a movie or something.
