It’s a Sunday the week after a Saturday screening, so if you’re as perceptive as yours truly, you may have deduced the likelihood of a screening. You may even already know what we’re going to make you watch! You may EVEN already know about my secret lizard form! But I don’t think you do. Not yet, at any rate. It’s a Sunday screening! And you’re watching these shows:
-Young Black Jack. Surgical… horror? But with… cute boys. Cute surgical boys.
-Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road. Which is sort of like if Lance Armstrong was my husbando.
-Samurai Champloo. Think hip-hop, think samurai, stop thinking.

BRISBANE ADVENTURES
After the first event at Event Cinemas in the Myer Centre in Brisbane, wherein they screened our boy Tetsuo on an immense, near-colossal, potentially eldritch projector, for a really good price, it’s safe to say that if you really want tickets to these events, you should get in quick. We’ll be organising meetups at each of the three remaining events, same as last time, except with more notice. The events are:
15th of September: The Girl who Leapt Through Time
6th of October: Ninja Scroll
3rd of November: The Castle of Cagliostro
==================================
Young Black Jack
Episodes 9-12
11:00pm - 12:30 pm
In the 1960s, a gifted young medical student tries to make a name for himself. Kuroo Hazama is a reserved young man with unusual black-and-white hair, a body covered with scars, and a dark past. Despite only being a medical student, his surgical brilliance starts to attract attention after he completes a seemingly impossible operation. Together with the spirited and honest intern Maiko Okamoto and Yabu, a close friend with a troubled life, Hazama devotes himself to the world of medicine.
However, his path to becoming a respectable surgeon is a difficult one as student riots, war, and corruption are consuming Japan. Hazama quickly finds himself caught up in a series of nefarious circumstances that challenge his integrity as a person and his path towards becoming a surgeon. Young Black Jack chronicles the story of a man capable of performing unthinkable feats of medicine, and the journey that leads him to become the legend known as Black Jack.
Louis’ Thoughts: I don’t like surgery. I especially don’t like… whatever this is. Oh, God.

Louis’ Thoughts: So you’ve heard of doping. Now get ready for anime doping.
Samurai Champloo
Episodes 9-12
3:15pm - 4:30pm
Fuu Kasumi is a young and clumsy waitress who spends her days peacefully working in a small teahouse. That is, until she accidentally spills a drink all over one of her customers! With a group of samurai now incessantly harassing her, Fuu desperately calls upon another samurai in the shop, Mugen, who quickly defeats them with his wild fighting technique, utilizing movements reminiscent to that of break dancing. Unfortunately, Mugen decides to pick a fight with the unwilling ronin Jin, who wields a more precise and traditional style of sword-fighting, and the latter proves to be a formidable opponent. The only problem is, they end up destroying the entire shop as well as accidentally killing the local magistrate's son.
For their crime, the two samurais are captured and set to be executed. However, they are rescued by Fuu, who hires the duo as her bodyguards. Though she no longer has a place to return to, the former waitress wishes to find a certain samurai who smells of sunflowers and enlists the help of the now exonerated pair to do so. Despite initially disapproving of this idea, the two eventually agree to assist the girl in her quest; thus, the trio embarks upon an adventure to find this mysterious warrior—that is, if Fuu can keep Mugen and Jin from killing each other.
Louis’ Thoughts: It’s the Coyboy Beyboy crew making another show about hip hop samurai dudes, and it’s really stupid. On the bright side, it’s fun to watch. So I like it.

How to get here:
I think Sam is an Autobot, so he’s got that business covered, but for all of us mere mortals, well… you know your own capabilities. If you know where Griffith is, then you should be able to extrapolate how to get there. If not… well, that’s a shame. Beyond that, there are maps of the campus publicly available on the Griffith website, so you can figure out how to get to G01. We all know these numbers don’t actually mean anything, so let’s not pretend G01 is actually descriptive.

Food Arrangements:
In the worst case scenario, you can feasibly consume your own fingernails, toenails and hair for a certain amount of protein and keratin content. Beyond that, you can still perform most tasks without your ring finger. Maybe watch a few episodes of Man Vs Wild before you attempt the Anime Society challenge. If you’re comfortable averting your eyes from the glorious animes, though, there are options available on campus detailed in the link below. Or, you know… BYO, dummy.

Drinks:
Hypothetically speaking, if you attend this event, you might expect to have access to affordable, refreshing fluids, such as Coca Cola and, I don’t know, water? And hypothetically speaking, the people who run this event might expect attendees to desire that access. Hypothetically speaking, those people would provide that access to their attendees, for the low low price of one hypothetical Australian dollaridoo. Crikey!
=================================
Also, we have a membership setup, so that any one of you geeks who shows up can pay us five Australian dollaridoos so that we can keep providing all of these communal dorkfests for your pleasure and our exasperation. I’d recommend you do it. Charity is a virtue, and we all know your sins, non-subscribers. We all know.
