Attendance:

Stevezilla
Arthur
David
Alan
Brian
Gene
Antonio
Adam
Victor

Notes: Started by voting, then sampling Yamibo episode 1 (CR) since basically nobody but Arthur remembered it). We had plenty of shows at 3 votes, almost enough at 4, so our guideline was to aim for re-sampling 3-vote shows that the Friday folks hadn’t seen yet. We then moved on to High Card episode 1 (CR). Stevezilla had voted for Chillin’ in My 30s… and Gene wasn’t voting, so we held off on re-sampling that. We then moved on to Nier:Automata Ver 1.1a ep 1 (CR).

After re-samplers we did some final updating and review of the voting spreadsheet, then took intermission. After that we started up with the last of our scheduled shows.

Most of the shows Steve voted for (and all the ones he really wanted - see highlighted capital “X”s in the table below) end up on Fridays. Some samplers on each night. We could make Daily Life of the Immortal King a 1/night deal on Fridays, right at the beginning of the night (like we did with Herbivorous Dragon), which would give people who are running late a chance to avoid missing things on higher continuity shows like, uh…Birdie Wing.

Attendance:

David
Brian
Arthur
Alan
Adam

Notes: We started late and had a bit of a long break; as a result, even though we bailed out on Kizuna no Allele partway through, we still didn't end up finishing off Kaguya-sama this week.

7:20 - 8:10 In/Spectre S2 19-20 (CR)

Attendance:

David
Brian
Arthur & Claire
Alan
Victor
Adam

Notes: Alan really didn’t like Yuri is My Job, and nobody seemed to like our 2nd sampler - we bailed on it pretty quickly.

Alan forgot to bring the Princess Principal Crown Handler OVAs, so we went onto a 3rd sampler: X&Y (CR).

Week 5

Friday, May 5 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 5 (CR)

Attendance:

Stevezilla
Alan
Arthur
David
Brian
Adam
Gene
Antonio

Notes: Steve indicated he’d probably be late next week (5/19) and the week after (5/26), and quite likely even the week after that (6/2); he may be joining from home some of those nights.

Saturday, May 13 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 6:55 Tomo-chan Is a Girl! 12 (CR)

6:55 - 7:45 In/Spectre S2 23-24 (CR)

Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix)

Attendance:

David
Brian
Arthur & Claire
Alan
Adam
Victor

Notes: whoops, turns out that Tomo-Chan Is a Girl! Has 13 episodes instead of 12. So we watched that and aimed for fewer samplers tonight. Also, even if we’d had time, Yakitori: Soldiers of Fortune doesn’t arrive on Netflix until May 18, so it wouldn’t be available this week.

Week 7

Friday, May 19 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 7 (CR)

6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 20 (S2 ep 7) (CR)

8:40 - 9:30 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 2-3 (CR)

9:30 - 10:20 Bubblegum Crisis 1 (BD, RetroCrush)

Attendance:

Alan
Arthur
David
Gene
Brian
Adam
Stevezilla

Notes: Steve was late (as he’d predicted) and attended remotely, arriving about halfway through Golden Kamuy. Gene decided to take off after the break.

Saturday, May 20 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 1-2 (CR)

7:20 - 8:10 Summer Time Rendering 2-3 (Hulu)

8:10 - 8:30 intermission

8:30 - 9:20 Samplers:

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts (CR)

The Marginal Service (CR)

9:20 - 10:10 Nier:Automata Ver1.1a 2-3 (CR)

Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix)

Attendance:

David
Brian
Arthur & Claire
Alan
Adam

Notes: Hulu’s presentation of Summer Time Render isn’t good - the “subtitles” are closed captions, and at first they were desynched from AV by the better part of a second. So our best bet is to download fansubs and plan to watch them, or at least have them as a fallback. We were able to resolve the desynch by reloading the page (I think it was Arthur who suggested that - he hypothesized that the MA rating/warning that Hulu inserted before the episode was just about the same length as the delay). However, the desynch recurred on the 2nd episode of the night without another warning.

We bailed halfway through The Sacrificial Princess and The King of Beasts, but ended up much more satisfied with the relative insanity of The Marginal Service (at least for the last few minutes of the first episode).

Week 8

Friday, May 26 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 8 (CR)

6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 21 (S2 ep 8) (CR)

8:05 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 8 (CR)

8:30 - 8:40 intermission

8:40 - 9:30 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 4-5 (CR)

9:30 - 10:20 Bubblegum Crisis 2-3 (BD, RetroCrush)

Attendance:

Alan
Brian
David
Arthur
Gene
Antonio
Stevezilla

Notes:

Saturday, May 27 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server

6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 3-4 (CR)

7:20 - 8:10 Summer Time Rendering 4-5 (Hulu, fs)

8:10 - 8:30 intermission

8:30 - 9:20 Samplers:

Dead Mount Death Play (CR)

Rokudo's Bad Girls (CR)

9:20 - 10:10 Nier:Automata Ver1.1a 4-5 (CR)

Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix)

Attendance:

David
Arthur & Claire
Brian
Adam
Alan

Notes: Both samplers were at least sort of interesting this week. Rokudo's Bad Girls was a bit like Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! (though it's hard to see it staying interesting for much more than a single episode), while Dead Mount Death Play was outright interesting.

Week 9

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

6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 9 (CR)

6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 22 (S2 ep 9) (CR)

8:40 - 9:05 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 6-7 (CR)

9:05 - 10:30 Bubblegum Crisis 4-5 (BD, RetroCrush)

Attendance:

David
Adam
Antonio
Brian
Arthur
Alan

Notes: No Gene tonight, and Alan didn’t make it until partway through Dr. Stone. No Steve tonight either. Because Steve couldn’t make it, we decided to maximize his ability to catch up on shows by going with 2 episodes of Ningen Fushin and only 1 episode of Bubblegum Crisis.

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

6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 5-6 (CR)

7:20 - 8:10 Summer Time Rendering 6-7 (Hulu, fs)

Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix)

Attendance:

David
Arthur & Claire
Brian
Alan
Adam

Notes: We bailed on One-Hit Kill Sister halfway through, so we had time to sample Yakitori, by author Carlo Zen (create of Saga of Tanya the Evil). We stopped after about 26 minutes of it - we hadn’t realized that the first episode (at least) was around 45 minutes.

Week 10

Anime Expo schedule was posted this week. Not in a particularly helpful format, mind - there was no way to organize panels by location, for example. However, every panel description indicated if the room would be cleared before or after the event, and the answer was generally no...

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

6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 10 (CR)

6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 23 (S2 ep 10) (CR)

8:40 - 9:05 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 8 (CR)

9:05 - 10:30 Bubblegum Crisis 5-6 (BD, RetroCrush)

Attendance:

Alan
Stevezilla
Brian
Arthur
David
Gene
Victor

Notes: We hadn't originally planned the schedule this way, but got lucky on Bubblegum Crisis - episode 6 is meant to follow almost immediately after episode 5.

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

6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 7-8 (CR)

Opus.COLORs (CR)

9:20 - 10:10 Nier:Automata Ver1.1a 8-9 (CR)

Fallback sampler: Stella of the Theater: World Dai Star (CR)

Attendance:

David
Brian
Alan
Arthur & Claire
Adam
Victor

Notes: There were only 8 episodes of Nier:Automata - production issues that struck back in mid-March stopped the airing at that point - and although the schedule for the rest of the series was supposed to be announced shortly afterward, there was no Nier news story on ANN since that March 18 announcement. Which means the rest of Nier is coming off the schedule - it’ll give us time to make sure we finish all our samplers, at least…

Week 11

Friday, June 16 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server

My Clueless First Friend (CR)

Attendance:

David
Alan
Arthur & Claire
Brian
Adam

Notes: Alan stepped away for a few minutes during the 1st sampler; we bailed on that one fairly quickly. We also ended bailing on My Clueless First Friend for being too repetitive, so we had time for another sampler: Too Cute Crisis (HD).
