New Line Up! – 14/02/12

As of last week, we’ve finished Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. Now we’re replacing it with not one but two new anime: Toshokan Sensō (Library Wars) and Un-Go. Thus, the new line up looks like this:

Time Slot	Event
18.05-18.30	Paranoia Agent
18.30-18.55	Puella Magi Madoka Magica
18.55-19.20	Tiger & Bunny
19.20-19.45	Steins;Gate
19.45-20.00	Break
20.00-20.25	Toshokan Sensō/Library Wars
20.25-20.50	Un-Go

However, due to technical difficulties, two episodes of Toshokan Sensō/Library Wars were shown; to compensate, two episodes of Un-Go will be shown next week, before hopefully returning to the above schedule.

Changes to Schedule – 31/01/12 and 7/02/12

This week (31/01/12), technical difficulties prevented us from showing Paranoia Agent; instead, two episodes of Puella Magi Madoka Magika were shown. As a result, next week we will be showing two episodes of Paranoia Agent. Puella Magi Madoka Magika will be shown again on 14/02/12.

Also as a reminder, we will finish Umineko no Naku Koro Ni on 07/02/12; subsequent to this, Paranoia Agent will take over the double slot, and a new anime will be shown first.

Semester Two Begins!

The holidays are are, unfortunately, over; hope you all had a good time, and that getting back to routine hasn’t been too painful.

On the brighter side, AASoc is back. We’ve got three new shows, along with the continuation of three series from last semester. The interesting logistical challenge there* we’re getting around by starting one of the new shows on February 14th; we’ll finish off the last arc of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni by February 7th; after that, Paranoia Agent will move into the double slot at the end and our mystery show will take its former 18.05 slot.

SEMESTER 2

Time Slot	Event
18.05-18.30	Paranoia Agent
18.30-18.55	Puella Magi Madoka Magica
18.55-19.20	Tiger & Bunny
19.20-19.45	Steins;Gate
19.45-20.00	Break
20.00-20.25	Umineko no Naku Koro Ni
20.25-20.50	Umineko no Naku Koro Ni

We hope to see a good turn out!

*I’d make a time-travel joke here, considering we’re still showing Steins;Gate, but, let’s face it – I’m sure you can do it better than I could.

End of Semester 1

That’s us at the end of our first semester, unfortunately. AASoc will return in 2012, resolving the cliffhangers of Tiger & Bunny and Steins;Gate, returning to the final arc of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, and bringing you some shiny new shows (just don’t ask us what they are)!

We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2012 – we start up again on January 17th. In the mean time, you can keep in touch via the facebook group. If there’s anything you’d like out of the library, feel free to get in touch with our Librarian there to arrange it.

Happy holidays!

Changes to Schedule – 15/11/2011

As of next week, we’ll be showing double episodes of our other shows in place of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. This is just so we don’t leave off anything in the middle of a plot arc or leave any series unfinished.

Thus, the schedule for the next two weeks is as follows:-

Week 10 – 22/11/11

Time Slot	Event
18.05-18.30	The World God Only Knows Episode 10
18.30-18.55	Deadman Wonderland* Episode 10
18.55-19.20	Steins;Gate Episode 10
19.20-19.45	Steins;Gate Episode 11
19.45-20.00	Break
20.00-20.25	Tiger & Bunny Episode 10
20.25-20.50	Tiger & Bunny Episode 11

Week 11 – 29/11/11

Time Slot	Event
18.05-18.30	The World God Only Knows Episode 11
18.30-18.55	The World God Only Knows Episode 12
18.55-19.20	Deadman Wonderland* Episode 11
19.20-19.45	Deadman Wonderland* Episode 12
19.45-20.00	Break
20.00-20.25	Steins;Gate Episode 12
20.25-20.50	Tiger & Bunny Episode 12

Changes to Schedule – 18/10/11

Due to technical difficulties, Episode 05 of Steins;Gate was unable to be shown tonight. Instead, two episodes of Tiger & Bunny were shown; next week, another episode of Steins;Gate will be shown in place of Tiger & Bunny to compensate.

Also, Episode 05 of Deadman Wonderland was shown first to allow people to avoide the noted gruesome scenes in this episode.
