Sorry....no updates til after Xmas

I know that I promised reviews of Gundam: The Origin (manga) and Welcome to the NHK: Conspiracy (anime)....but I'm too tired to write 'em! I'll just give you a teaser and say that Welcome to the NHK is one of the best programs I've seen this year - a funny and likeable series about the life and loves of a paranoid shut-in (it's better than it sounds, honest). I'll be out of town for the next week or so for the holidays, so don't expect any new updates until after Christmas.

Anyway, for all you Arlington Anime/Manga Club folks out there, I'm still in the process of choosing the 2 anime episodes for December 28th's meeting; I've been reading a lot online about Samurai Champloo and will probably at least be showing that. In terms of booktalks, I'll be covering Gundam Seed, Kindaichi Case Files, and Maison Ikkoku.

Have a pleasant holiday, y'all.....

What to show on the 28th?

Arrgh....I just realized that I really need to decide on what I'm showing at Arlington's Anime/Manga Club meeting on December 28th. I've narrowed it down to:

Cowboy BeBop Remix (hard-boiled Sci Fi)
Samurai Champloo (funky samurai adventure)
Black Cat (bounty hunter on a mission of revenge)
or
Eureka Seven (boy finds himself in a web of intrigue and Mechas)

any preferences?
