Happy Halloween, minna-san! Don't forget to send me your requests for what
we will show at the December 14th meeting. So far I have One Piece and
Chobits 6-7. All requests must be in by November 30. Please refer to
earlier news updates for the rules.

W00t! I'm the president again, yo. Those that volunteered for ArlingCon
get to decide what we show at the December 14th meeting. E-mail me your
suggestons for what we should show by November 30th. You can e-mail me by
clicking on my name at the bottome of this post. Here are the rules for
submissions:
- The anime has to be in either our library or my personal
fansub library. My list will be posted with the club library. I will try
to keep that updated.
- No domesticated titles.
- Any submitted anime that takes longer than the average 22 minute
episode like a movie or an OVA must be backed up by at least one other
volunteer.
- No ecchi, yaoi, yuri, or hentai titles.
- No Evangelion, Sailor Moon, DBZ, or DBGT! You would not believe the
number of
requests I get
for these. (see rule 2)
I think these rules are reasonable enough, so get in those submissions. So
far, the only thing suggested has been One Piece.

You know how you feel when you have nowhere to be for an hour, but that's
not enough time to go home and hang there? That's how I feel now so you
guys get an update. I'm bored... so bored. I will take this opportunity
to say that I really enjoy doing this site and being president and
whatnot. Sure, it can be really stressful at times, but I wouldn't trade
it for anything. I like helping people get their anime on. Yeah, I'm coo
like that. :p Just kidding, but seriously, I really do enjoy delivering
anime to the masses or at least the tiny mass that attends our
meetings. Can you not tell that I am bored. I'm
just sitting here, filling up the school's hard drive space just so I can
amuse myself until I have to go to work. Here's some club information. I
think the ArlingCon page isn't easy enough
to navigate so I'll be fixing it up. I made a bunch of tapes and will put
them in the library for this coming meeting. Officer elections are at this
coming meeting. If you would like to be an officer or vote for officers,
please come to the meeting and participate. Only Anime UTA members may vote
and/or run in the Anime UTA election. Only Evil Goddess members may vote
and/or run in the Evil Goddess election. Both elections will be one big
election that will take place during the break between showings.

ArlingCon was a smashing success! I have a couple of announcements
regarding the con. First, I would like to thank all of the officers
and the volunteers. Without you, ArlingCon would never have run as
smoothly as it did. Of these people, I would especially like to
thank our treasurer, Sandy Sumner. She was head of the volunteers
and made sure that everyone knew where they had to be. She also made sure
I had all my ducks in a row as I took care of the paperwork needed to
make sure we would even hava con. I
consider her as co-con chair. Second, I would like to thank all those
who came for their panels. Third, I would like to thank Adam Sheehan, our
previous president, for providing prizes for our gameshows. Adam also
brought out the DBZ hummer that was parked outside the UC. If there was
anyone I forgot to thank here, I'm really sorry. Just come to the
meeting and I'll be sure to thank you then. Aside from thank you's, the
person who won the foam weapons tournament
must come to our next meeting on October 19th, to claim their prize. Those
that volunteered will tentatively get their cds at the next meeting. I am
accepting submissions for the volunteer showing now. If you volunteered
and want to show something on the December 14th meeting, please contact
either the club or myself. My e-mail is at the bottom of this news update.
Just click on my name. If you wish to contact any other officer directly,
the e-mails can be found in the officers section. Also if
you have any suggestions for
what we should do for next year, please feel free to contact the club.
In other news, officer elections will be held at this coming meeting. Only
Anime UTA members may run/vote for Anime UTA officers. Only Evil Goddess
members may run/vote for Evil Goddess officers.

And so the finally meeting of the summer comes to a close. The fall
schedule meeting dates have been posted, but we are still deciding on what
to show. If any of you want titles shown that are fansubbed and if they
are licensed have a release date that is more than 6 months away, please,
e-mail the club. I want to show more Sexy Commando Sugoi-yo Masaru-san!
I'm so glad that so many of you liked it. I have up to 20. I wish more
would come out. Oh, and for those of you with cable, Inu Yasha is going
to be on tv during Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Action. It will be taking
Yu Yu Hakusho's time slot. I'm sure that means that Yu Yu will just be
moved back. Also, in ArlingCon news, we need Anime UTA members to run the
dealer's room. Please e-mail the club, if you are interested. Also,
we will have a table at AnimeFEST. Come visit us and join the
insanity.

The main page and meeting page have been updated. I realized that our
Jungle wa Itsumo overlapped. I will not be at the next meeting because
I will be in Austin for the UshiCon staff meeting. I'm on video staff.
I will try to make it for the end of the meeting. If any of you have
questions that can only be answered by me, then please either e-mail me
or catch me at the August 3 meeting. Speaking of August, my birthday
is on the 12th. *hint hint*

Happy Independence Day everybody! Not too much to report from the anime
world or the Anime UTA world other than ArlingCon is on Saturday, October
5. Also, the first volume of Fruits Basket is set to come out October 29,
so we will begin selling off our Fruits Basket tapes at the meeting of
episode 26, which is August 16. Oh, the Powerpuff Girls Movie rocks!
--Sophie

Mwahahahahaha! One episode of Furuba (Fruits Basket) not enough? Well,
then come to the next meeting on the 6th of July. We'll be showing 21-23!
We're also going to quench your summer thirst for Guu. Oh, go see Lilo
and Stitch. That was the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. Disney
is finally making good movies again. They're also coming out with another
one in November called Treasure Planet. It's futuristic version of
Treasure Island. The main character looks like he came out of a fantasy
RPG. Enough of Disney. Go see the Powerpuff Girls movie on July 3rd! I
can't wait! MIB II! It's a double feature, baby! Wai! Wai!

Look, I'm updating on time! I hope our night of old anime sparked some
interest in some of the older titles in our library. There's not a whole
lot to say in this update except that we will be showing a lot of new
titles, a lot of which aired last year or is currently airing in Japan.

The Summer schedule is up. Yes, we will be showing Fruits Basket all the
way to the end. Of course, we've dragged it out over the summer. >:D
Heh heh. I found out at Akon from Kyle Hebert, the voice of Teen
Gohan in DBZ, that Fruits Basket has been pushed back two months because
of other anime properties. Funi wishes to finish the next Lupin movie and
Blue Gender. This of course means more screenings for us. Whee! Thanks
to everyone that went to Akon and stopped by our table. We'll be at
AnimeFest too, but I don't know if we'll have a table. We probably will.
Oh, I'm still having to update the site through telnet so I can't update
the graphics yet. As soon as I can, the new Utako will go up. She's
cosplaying again.
