Fall

Week 0

Friday, October 7 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 6:55 I'm Quitting Heroing OVAs (HD)

6:55 - 8:25 voting and re-samplers, as needed. Likely re-samplers include:

Fuuto PI (CR)

Parallel World Pharmacy (CR)

Engage Kiss (CR)

Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury 1 (CR)

8:25 - 8:35 intermission

8:35 - 10:30 More re-samplers, new season samplers, or maybe a feature

Sampler: Raven of the Inner Palace (CR)

Sampler: My Master Has No Tail (HD)

Feature: Girls und Panzer das Finale 3 (BD)


Notes: voting, followed by sampling Bastard episode 2. Then we re-sampled Engage Kiss, and followed that with the I’m Quitting Heroing OVAs, then The Fruit of Evolution episode 2. Incidentally, we decided to go with the assumption of a 10-week schedule (that is, assuming we wouldn't have regular showings on either Christmas or New Year's weekends).


After break, we watched Raven of the Inner Palance and My Master Has No Tail. Then, since Alan had made a mistake with the spreadsheet and realized not all episodes had been counted towards totals, we reviewed the spreadsheet and found our cutoff would be at 4 votes to get a show on the schedule. That meant we didn’t need to sample shows down at 2 votes, so we sampled one final show: Akiba Maid War (HD). There wasn't any following up on that, so we called it a night a bit early.


Attendance:

8:30 - 10:30 Feature: Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance (Amzn)


Notes: We finished building the schedule, deciding to keep Spy x Family on Saturdays and put more samplers on Friday. Since we’d sampled Akiba Maid War on Friday, we tried Reincarnated as a Sword (HD), then took an early break so Victor could make it in time for Spy x Family.

Week 5

Veterans' Day weekend. Also, Alan and David had limited availability this Friday meaning (among other things) Alan's place wasn't available for this Friday's showings and Alan wasn't available to stream shows for at least the 1st half of the night.

Brian won’t be around the Friday after Thanksgiving (even on Discord), might be available on Saturday (but likely remote).

9:25 - 10:15 Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy 3-4 5-6 (Netflix)


Notes: Alan had the wrong episodes of Lycoris Recoil listed (should be 6-7 instead of 5-6). Alan also hadn’t updated the Bastard!! Episode numbers (should have been 5-6 instead of 3-4).


Attendance:


Week 8

Friday, December 2 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 6:45 A Herbivorous Dragon of 5,000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized 9 (CR)

6:45 - 7:10 Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury 8 (CR)

7:10 - 7:40 Sampler: Tatami Time Machine Blues (Hulu)

7:40 - 8:30 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (part 2) 17-18 (Netflix)

8:30 - 8:40 intermission

8:40 - 9:30 Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer 7-8 (CR)

9:30 - 10:20 Chainsaw Man 5-6 (CR)


Fallback sampler: Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit (HD )


Notes: Hulu's subtitles for Tatami Time Machine Blues were out of sync with the audio by several seconds; it made the whole thing unpleasant to watch for even a few minutes, so we bailed on it and went with our fallback sampler. About that sampler: it may be possible to recap an entire cour of 3-minute episodes in a single 24-minute episode of a sequel, but the overall effect will be to feel rushed, almost dizzyingly so considering the sort of show Encouragement of Climb aims to be.


In any case, this will drive us to fansubs in order to sample Tatami Time Machine Blues


Attendance:


Saturday, December 3 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 -6:55 My Hero Academia 123 (CR)

8:30 - 9:20 Lycoris Recoil 8-9 (CR)

7:45 - 8:10 Spy x Family 22 (CR)

8:10 - 8:30 intermission

8:30 - 9:45 feature: The Legacy of Al-Caral (fs)

9:45 - 10:35 Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy 7-8 (Netflix)


Notes: The Legacy of Al-Caral doesn't totally end out of nowhere, but much like To-Y it kind of feels like it ends in an unresolved state. These older samplers should make for an interesting contrast against the new ones we having coming over the next two weeks.


Attendance:



Week 9

Club trip this weekend to (1) see the final Rebuild of Evangelion movie in Alhambra; and (2) hit up the Sushio exhibit at Gallery Nucleus.


Friday, December 9 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server

8:40 - 9:30 Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer 9-10 (CR)

9:30 - 10:20 Chainsaw Man 7-8 (CR)


Notes: David was recovering from a cold, so he stayed home tonight. Steve couldn't attend because of family issues, so that meant our showings were fully-remote, not that we planned it that way. Adam couldn't make it because he was traveling to the US.


Attendance:


Saturday, December 10 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 -6:55 My Hero Academia 124 (CR)

8:30 - 9:20 Lycoris Recoil 10-11 (CR)

7:45 - 8:10 Spy x Family 23 (CR)

8:10 - 8:30 intermission

8:30 - 9:25 feature: Princess Principal: Crown Handler 1 (BD)

9:25 - 10:15 Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy 9-10 (Netflix)


Notes: Adam was confused about the date, so he tried heading to the theater. Then, due to other communication issues, he headed to David’s old place; that led to a delay in starting while David headed over to pick him up and drive him to the new place. As a result, we started showings about 1 episode late, at 6:55 instead of 6:30. They left us with about 45 minutes for a feature…we decided to rewatch Princess Principal episode 1 (HD) for folks who hadn't seen it in advance of trying to hit the movie as a feature, and saved remaining time to discuss our schedule for the club trip to see the movie and Sushio exhibit.


Attendance:

8:40 - 9:30 Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer 11-12 (CR)

9:30 - 10:20 Chainsaw Man 9-10 (CR)


Notes: Alan was feeling sick this week, so Friday showing were remote-only. He had to help his family during showings, so wasn’t able to switch shows in time and we ended up finishing A Dragon of 5000 Years this week by watching both remaining episodes. We covered for that by only watching 1 episode of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer.

Attendance:


Saturday, December 31 ONLINE ONLY on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 10:30 ???


Notes: Netflix wasn’t happy with David’s browser for some reason, so we went with the fallback feature. It was pretty good, and definitely much better than the one sampler we did watch.


Attendance:
