Stanford Newtype Anime

For our next movie in our 15-Yr Anniversary Series, we’ll be showing 2 movies: “Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth” and “Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion.” Discover for yourself the awesomeness of Rei and why Weta Workshop (visual design group behind Lord of the Rings) is more buzzed about “Rebuild of Evangelion” (live action movie to be released September 1, 2007) than they were about LOTR.

Instead of showing “Desert Punk” episodes 15 and 16, we’ll be showing “Slayers - The Motion Picture.” Sorry for any inconvenience. The following Tuesday, March 6, is the LAST Tuesday screening of the Winter Quarter, but our last screening will be Saturday, March 10, “Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade” (1998).

Screening will resume TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 2007. Have a good Spring Break!

One more day to pre-order your t-shirt!  If you pre-order, you’ll be guaranteed a t-shirt in your size for $10.  After Tuesday, February 27, t-shirts will be on sale for $15.

Don’t have to drag the ‘rents around campus during Parents Weekend? Come watch the classic anime movie “Tenchi Muyo! in Love?” (1996) as the fifth movie of Newtype’s 15-year Anniversary Series.

What: “Tenchi Muyo! in Love?”
When: Saturday, February 24, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Where: Asian American Activities Center (map)

I remember watching the “Tenchi Muyo!” series on Cartoon Network and discovering that the English version is a bit cleaner than the Japanese version; hadn’t realized that Americans could be so prude. There are two versions of the same story: attractive women from outer space start popping up in Tenchi’s quiet front yard. Most of the girls have their eyes set on Tenchi and through a series of comic adventures come to an understanding and get along. The movie picks up after the OAV series with the evil criminal Kain escaping from galactic prison and deciding that the source of his trouble is Tenchi. He decides to travel back to the 70’s to eliminate Tenchi’s parents and Tenchi and his crew must also travel back to protect his parents and essentially his existence.
Screening in Japanese with English subtitles and refreshments provided.

** We are bumping up the event an hour because of Parent’s Weekend. Sorry for any inconveniences. **

Design 4 won the t-shirt design contest!

What: “Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose”
When: Saturday, February 3, 2:00 - 4:00 PM
Where: Asian American Activities Center (directions)
Why: A chance to see one of anime films that has highly influenced the perception of anime in America or a chance to re-watch an old favorite. Also, get a chance to win a “Naruto” 2007 Calendar. As usual, snacks provided.

“Sailor Moon R: The Promise of the Rose” (1993) is considered one of the best Sailor Moon movies. The Sailor Moon series was a great introduction to shojo anime that got quite a number of young girls (and a few guys too) hooked onto anime. In the movie, Kisenian, disguised as a meteor, aims to steal the Earth’s positive energy and replace it with hate. She is able to recruit Fiore, who is jealous of Sailor Moon and Darius, and together they try to gather energy from every star and planet.

For February 10, we’ll be screening “Yu Yu Hakusho: Poltergeist Report.”
