Utena Movie and the start of Kenshin

Hi all.
Sorry this note hasn't been cross posted from our main page until now.

On Sunday 1st of May we are finishing off Utena with the Movie. If you have seen the series with us you will appreciate seeing the complete story.

Also we are starting Rurouni Kenshin again from the beginning.
I figured some of you would be lost if we start from episode 30 something so we are beginning from the very start and aiming to cover the whole series and the OAVs as well.

From here on we hope to be having weekly meetings for the next wee while at least.
We will be showing 3 episodes each of 3 different series so people can come for only part of a meeting if they chose to.

(And please remember that if you do plan to come in during a showing don't come into the room or walk in front of people until the credits are a-rollin' ^_^)

On the 16th I had an interview recorded with a woman from National Radio about the NZ Anime industry and Tribe.. I'll let you know the moment I am informed as to its play date/time.

Message ends ^_^

New Kid on the Block - Borders

There's a new store at Westfield - Riccarton called Borders. It's on the eastern most side of the mall (across the road near Coffee Culture). I've been to their website and they have branches in Aussie, NZ, Singapore and the UK and they stock books, DVDs and music... of more interest to us, they have a really big Manga section.

And I mean LARGE. I spoke to the guys there and it appears they still have 2 shipping containers full of stuff to unload and they can probably order in anything else you would want to track down. (They even have the Viz titles that we haven't been able to get hold of for a while.)

Here's their website if you want to have a hunt for specific titles. Here's a list of just some that I found instore today.

Akira

Maison Ikkoku

Ranma½

Mermaid Saga

Kare Kano

XxxHOLiC

Tokyo Babylon

X/1999

Chobits

Card Captor Sakura

Wish

Angelic Layer

Peach Girl

Tokyo Mew Mew

Cowboy Bebop

Trigun

Hellsing

Escaflowne

Battle Royale

Fushigi Yūgi

Revolutionary Girl Utena

Love Hina

Oh! My Goddess (and "Wrong Number")

Neon Genesis Evangelion

RahXephon

Gundam Wing

Gravitation

Digimon

Pokémon

Saber Marionette J

Model

Rebirth

Real Bout High School

Yu Yu Hakusho

Any way there are zillions more titles than just that so, if you are feeling rich, then go and have a look ^_^ (I hope all those links work.)

I suggest if there is any stuff that you want that isn't in there, you order it (or if you want to buy stuff get in quick) because the number of people who came in and pawed over the books while we were there was phenominal (and little kids too). You never know how battered the pages and spines are going to get in the next wee while... OK, I'm just picky ^_^
