May Anime Potluck

Welcome to all our new members! Once again we're having our monthly potluck! :)

I wasn't able to meet anyone at Sakuracon, unfortunately, but I'd love to hear how it went--so what better way to do that then by watching anime? At the suggestion of a couple of members, I'm going to kick off a more structured viewing schedule--a couple of series that we can watch over the next few months, plus whatever extras people would like to bring and share. Kicking off this month, we will start out watching the first few episodes of Mirage of Blaze, a very cool series about feudal lords reincarnated into possessed bodies who are now battling it out over modern Japan, and Fruits Basket, a wonderful shoujo series--an oldie but a goodie! Afterwards, I'll take a vote--and if people like the show, we'll continue with it, if not, we'll try something different in our next meetup.

Things to remember: obviously we can't watch a whole series in a few hours, so we'll probably only watch an episode or two of whatever people bring, depending on how what we get. So make sure to choose the episodes you love the best; and be willing to enlighten us with just how cool they are. And please feel free to bring snacks to share with your fellow fans, if you want--women cannot live by anime alone, after all! :D

The meetup is at my place again from 2pm to 8 pm or so--I have enough room for a small horde, at least. :) Be warned: I'm in the wilds of Kent, so my apologies to any of our more northerly folk. As always, if anyone wants to propose an alternate location, I'm always open to new options...

That's it for now--I hope to see you all there!
