Hey all, Wpuld have emailed you yesterday but I was in work and I'm having some trouble with my laptop. Anyway this week we'll be watching Sky Blue/Wonderful Days (we'll decide on the night), there was a tie in the poll so this week we'll show Galaxy Express 999, Rosen Maiden will be placed in the poll for next week. Galaxy Express 999 - One word can describe this movie and that is weird. I recorded this movie one day because it was a Japanese animation and it was old so I thought it would be interesting. Well it was, the movie is about a young boy who travels the universe to get a metal body so he can seek revenge. On the way he meets very colorful characters and must ultimately decide if he wants the body or not. Very strange, if you are a fan of animation/science-fiction you might want to check this out. (sorry - thats the best plot summary I could get!) Sky Blue/Wonderful Days - Earth is on the brink of extinction due to pollution and environmental disasters. In order to survive, humans create a shielded city called Ecoban that organically grows on its own, feeding on the earth¡¯s pollution. However, only a select few are allowed to live in the shielded city, leaving many to perish in the waste of the wilderness. Soon, there are reports that pollution levels are dropping, giving people hope that the entire Earth will once again be safe to live in. Conflicts arise after some city officials decide to continually pollute the earth so they can enjoy the prestige of living inside of Ecoban. Meanwhile, an intruder breaks into Ecoban as security frantically rushes to the scene of the crime. Jay, one of the leaders of the security unit, chases down the intruder only to find out that it¡¯s her first love, Suha. Previously assumed dead, Suha returns to Ecoban as a criminal, reminding Jay of his promise to her; that one day he will show her a blue sky, something that has been gone for too long. Now Jay feels torn between her long lost love and her civil duty as city security. Furthermore, Simon, the head of security and also in love with Jay, finds out about Suha¡¯s existence. (thhere are some differences between SB and WD but you have the idea) Right so see you all tonight, remember we are in CG12 this evening. Ed.

Hey All, Sorry about the late notice but this week we'll be watching Ghost In The Shell: Stamd Alone Complex: 2nd Gig and Sky Blue (we're actually watching the original called Wonderful Days). Its usual time, usual place. AMS may have to be cancelled next week unless we come up with an alternative venue we'll let you know. Sky Blue: In the future, after the human civilization ended by war and pollution, only those few people who had the power and technology escaped the disaster. Those people built the last human city of Ecoban. As its energy source is the pollutant, the people of Ecoban plan to destroy the inhabitants of Marr to get more pollutant. Standing against Ecoban is a young man who wants only to clear the skies of the clouds to show the wonderful heavens to the girl he loves. Ghost In The Shell: Plot Summary: In the future, life between the digital and physical world has been blurred. The boundary of technology and humanity has been stretched beyond imagination with lives being led in both the electronic and physical worlds. With the melding of man and machine ? a new cybernetic level of existence is being created - An existence that continues to redefine mankind. See you all later. Ed.

by announce-ams＠lists.redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey everyone, The poll has decided that you will be watching Final Fantasy VII: The Last Order and Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex; 2nd GIG Eps. 1-3, (They recieved 25% of the votes between them). Full Metal Alchemist did recieve 25% but I've some concerns about the quality of it so it won't be shown. Should the time present itself we will also watch some of Outlaw Star which has been highly reccommended by some of our members. Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex; 2nd GIG Eps. 1-3 Plot Summary: In the future, life between the digital and physical world has been blurred. The boundary of technology and humanity has been stretched beyond imagination with lives being led in both the electronic and physical worlds. With the melding of man and machine ? a new cybernetic level of existence is being created - An existence that continues to redefine mankind. Final Fantasy VII: The Last Order Last Order: Final Fantasy VII is an addition to the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children film and part of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. It is an Original Video Animation that was released with the "Ultimate Edition" of the movie (so called "Advent Pieces: Limited"). It is an anime rendition of two flashbacks that took place in the game. One explains what happened five years before the game took place. It revolves around the event that took place in Nibelheim involving Zack, Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart and Sephiroth. The other shows Zack and Cloud escaping from Shin-Ra. The anime cuts back and forth between these two, linked by Tseng as he reflects on both events. Outlaw Star Plot Summary: Gene Starwind and his partner Jim Hawking run a small business on the backwater planet of Centinel 3. 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. Gene Starwind dreams of life as an Outlaw, and fate smiles on him as he seems to suddenly wind up with a great job. But as things go awry, and he finds himself the new owner of the fastest, most technologically advanced space ship in the galaxy. Unfortunately, it's stolen and the owners want it back... Along with his partner Jim and the lovely Melfina, Gene must fight his way across the galaxy battling pirates, aliens, and assassins as he attempts to discover the secrets of the Outlaw Star. I'll see you all tomorrow night for out first meeting of 2006. Ed.

And the winner is...........................

Bleach with 4 votes! We'll be showing episodes 1-3 this Thursday. The second showing is between Naruto: The Movie, Appleseed and Read or Die: The Series, myself and John are thinking about something a little different for the 2nd showing so it may not be any of them. Can anyone that has those films/series email me at edward.collins8(a)mail.dcu.ie, to let me know that they have them, on what format and that you will bring them in on Thursday ;). 10 votes we're cast this week very much up on last week's 6, so keep it going in the New Year. Bleach: Plot Summary: Ichigo Kurosaki is a 15-year old boy with an angry face. He also has the ability to see ghosts. This brings him trouble when one day, he meets a Death God named Rukia Kuchiki, one who destroys Hollows, destructive beings created from dead people who are left on Earth. In an incident with a Hollow, Rukia transfers her energy to Ichigo, to create him into a Death God. As mysterious new characters arise, Ichigo must learn that the Hollows aren't his only enemy, and to destroy them, he must learn the way of a Death God. Kurosaki Ichigo is not a regular 15 year old, because he has always had the ability to see spirits and ghosts. One day, a female Shinigami (God of Death) named Kuchiki Rukia appears before him, hunting for an evil spirit. But during the confrontation, the Shinigami's powers are transfered to Ichigo. Thus begins the adventures of Ichigo and Rukia and their mission to herd Hollows (fallen spirits) as well as confronting other spiritual beings. Merry Christmas, Ed

Another Monday, another poll. Your options for this Thursday are, Naruto, Bleach, Read or Die, Metropolis, Appleseed and Ninja Scroll. Please vote before 12pm Wednesday, at the last poll only 6 people voted, I'd like it if more people would vote as it would stop AMS showings being chosen by a minority, we are a democratic society! Just a reminder for you all, we do two showings on Thursday so you don't have to leave after the first film, the top two in the poll are the ones shown (unless the people who stay say otherwise!). 'Til Thursday, Ed.

So anyone interested say so on the forum or can simply stand up on thursday :) And now for the showings! 7pm Blood+ Ep. 5-7 Throughout the passage of time and the shifts in backgrounds, a particular war continues to leave its mark on history, extending its influence into the modern world. There are two major groups involved in the ensuring war. The first group consists of monsters known as Chiropterans who can change their appearances into that of human beings. They are actually immortals who feed on the blood of the living. The second group is an organisation known as the "Red Shield", formed to track down these monsters and exterminate them. Otonashi Saya is a high-school girl who lives a peaceful life with her family. The only problem is, she has no recollections of her life beyond that of the past year. However, her happy life will be destroyed by an event that will lead her to her destined fate. 9pm Gunslinger Girl Ep. 1-3 "Henrietta" was an innocent little girl when her entire family was massacred and she was left for dead.

Brainwashed by the organization, she and four other girls now work as cold-blooded assassins, doing the dirty work for the Italian government. As usual, refreshments provided - look forward to everyone coming along!
