7:00 - Outlaw Star
Image
Gene Starwind and his partner Jim Hawking run a small business on the backwater planet of Sentinel III. But all that changes the day that Hilda hires them for a bodyguard job. Now, thrust into a mystery they don't fully understand, they're on the run from the cops, the pirates, an angry alien, and a mysterious assassin. But they've got one thing going in their favor—they have the galaxy's most advanced ship, the Outlaw Star.

7:25 - Kurau Phantom Memory
Image
It is the year 2100, and on the colonised Moon, a project is under way to explore new aspects of energy. Amami Kurau is the daughter of the chief scientist on the project, and on her 12th birthday, she accompanies her father to the lab to observe the experiments. Then something goes awry, and Kurau is struck by twin bolts of light. In the aftermath, her father is dismayed to find that his daughter is no longer his daughter. Rather, her body is now home to two energy entities with fantastic powers.

7:50 - Great Teacher Onizuka
Image
Onizuka is an ex-biker and gang leader who has one goal, to become the greatest teacher. He learns of the power and respect possible as an intern teacher, using his strength and connections to get his students to respect him. Now, graduated, he gets a job at a prestigious private school to handle their 'problem class' that made the past few teachers quit. He must handle a different sort of trouble when the trouble makers include some of the smartest kids in Japan who preffer a more cerebral approach to torturing their teacher. Onizuka must slowly win his students over and deal with their mistrust of teachers while handling the distrust of his fellow teachers.

8:15 - Nichijou
Image
Also known as My Ordinary Life. While the title suggests a story of simple, everyday school life, the contents are more the opposite. The setting is a strange school where you may see the principal wrestle a deer or a robot's arm hide a rollcake. However there are still normal stories, like making a card castle or taking a test you didn't study for.

8:40 - Break
A time of much needed eyeball rest.

9:00 - Ao No Exorcist
Image
The return of the crowd favorite!
This world consists of two dimensions joined as one. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible. However demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exist within it. Enter RIn, a young man capable of exorcising demons who also carries within him a dark secret. One that even he does not know about.

9:25 - AnoHana
Image
AKA: Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai
English: We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day
Five childhood friends grow apart after the death of Meiko Honma, close playmate of them all. Jinta Yadomi, leader of the group when they were kids, neglects high school and lives as a shut-in when he unexpectedly starts seeing the ghost of Meiko, who can only interact with him and no one else. She has returned to ask Jinta to fulfill the forgotten wish she made as a kid.

9:50 - Haibane Renmei
Image
Rakka, a newly born Haibane (Angel) awakens into an unfamiliar world with only a strange dream of falling from the sky as her only memory. Alone and scared of who and what she is, she is cared for by fellow Haibane as they try and search for the meaning of their existence as well as what lies beyond their town's imprisoning walls.

10:15 - OVA Slot
Whatever OVA / Movie we've got, we'll show here.

I remember back when they first showed Outlaw Star on Toonami they had a specially censored version of the english dub that replaced every instance of the word "gun" with "blaster".

I can't be too jaded about this schedule. It seems pretty balanced (maybe too light-hearted?) and for a few of these shows, I was thinking of watching them myself. Except Wednesday nights, tradition rabble rabble.

Tuesday has a class in Doudna 103 during the traditional club hours. They will not move it for us. I am extremely glad we got Wednesdays this semester. I didn't like having it conflict with PGA last semester and I didn't think a Monday or Friday would work out as well as a mid week slot.

I really have no opinion on this schedule. No "it sucks" or "it's amazing". Just meh. I think the problem is that since I'm not going to go to any of the meetings it's like I don't care. Though I have been meaning to go back and watch AnoHana.

I found it on a random anime preview dvd that was sent to SPAMM years back. It looked really good! I am looking forward to watching more of it!

Alright, since there's been no thread for me to put this and this place is as good as any, how similar is Ao no Exorcist to Harry Potter? Like from what I know from watching one episode and random pickups in the series of tubes, this kid discovers he has some previously power that is unknown only to him, goes to some special school to get training, magic is involved, and ...that's all I know about Ao no Exorcist otherwise I might be able to continue. Anyone who has watched more than one episode, are there more other similarities?

While I've only seen about half of the show (as far as we got last semester), I really don't think it bears as much similarity as that makes it sound.

The thing about Harry Potter is that he is an unloved, unwanted child who turns out to be a famous hero in another world. He is instantly respected and beloved in the world of magic despite years of neglect in the regular world.

The main character in Ao no Exorcist has almost the opposite.
Spoiler:
He is raised in a loving caring environment in the regular world and later finds out to be the son of Satan himself. He hides this, knowing he will be ostracized or even attacked if his demonic heritage is revealed in this new world full of demons and exorcists.

Looks like another decent schedule. Its been a while since I've seen most of these shows. The only one I haven't seen is Phantom Memory. I'm looking forward to the reactions the GTO opening gets.

I am saddened by the lack of Madoka, but I was never attending non-internet SPAMM for the rest of my life again anyway.
