Hello everybody (bitch at me now Chaeha), time for this week’s showing preview! Wednesday, 6pm, BE241. Anime > School, show up.
[C] 5 and 6
We’re watching it, so here’s its spot. Watching episodes 5 and 6 this week; if you need to get caught up, read Matt’s review from last week here.
The Borrower Arrietty (借りぐらしのアリエッティ)
I don’t know anything about this show, but Gene says we’re showing it. This movie was produced by Studio Ghibli and premiered last July. Here’s part of the synopsis from wikipedia:
The story takes place in 2010 in Koganei, western Tokyo and like the novel revolves around a group of “tiny people” who are 10 cm tall and live under the floorboards of a typical human household.
A boy named Shō arrives at the house his mother lived in as a child, to live with his great aunt Sadako. When Shō leaves the car, he sees a cat trying to attack something in the bushes, but the cat leaves after being attacked by a crow. Shō goes to see what the cat was trying to attack. He then sees a Borrower named Arrietty.
Hopefully more people show up than last week, but then lol exams. Member dues are $2 for the semester and give you access to the club library and pay for pizza and soda next week =D. No member dues, no pizza. I’m kind of a Nazi when it comes to determining who gets pizza, so member dues if you want some; ve haf vays of traking you. We still have Ramune for $1.50 for those so inclined.

I wanted to watch that movie! Although I’d want to watch Taketori Monogatari more which is also by Ghibli and was announced to be released at the same time as Arrietty first, then I don’t think it was released at that time. Then I never heard of any news about it other than “to be released 2010.” I’m not even sure if it’s out or canceled. I guess Kaguya Hime is not so much popular now. Or at least in Korea, because I didn’t really check non-Korean websites for the news. If anyone knows what happened to it, let me know.

If it’s Studio Ghibli, it’s probably amazing.
Oh yeah, Gene was thinking of putting something else in next week before Redline/pizza, since we’re technically a week ahead of schedule (the movie we were going to show last week still has no subs, or something, so we moved UBW up). So I guess that gives everyone another week to pay dues. Fuck school, watch anime, etc.
