November Anime Program
The Anime Club will meet on Thursday, November 8th at 5 p.m.
This month we have:
Pumpkin Scissors [TV-14] (Episodes 1 & 2)In a time and place unmistakably similar to interwar Western Europe, Lt. Alice Malvin leads an army division nicknamed "Pumpkin Scissors." Despite mockery from superiors, the ragtag team manages to expose corruption and cover-ups. Plot twists come fast and furious as Malvin and her crew dig up a top secret government plan involving a super-soldier program. Echoes of World War II play heavily into this anime war adventure.
Yugo the Negotiator [TV-14] (Episode 1)
Recruited by foreign governments and individuals to help rescue and return political hostages, Yugo Beppu (aka "The Negotiator") spends a lot of his time in the Middle East, where his unconventional techniques reap big rewards. These episodes from the realistically rendered anime series follow Yugo's adventures abroad, including an attempt to pry a young woman's father from the clutches of Pakistani rebels.
Welcome to the NHK [TV-MA] (Episode 1)
Unemployed 22-year-old conspiracy theorist Satou Tatsuhiro rarely leaves his apartment, relying on an allowance from his parents and venturing out only at night. But when quirky young Misaki comes to his door, she claims she can help the recluse. Soon, the two begin a series of odd psychological lessons in the local park aimed at reconnecting Satou with the world. This anime adaptation is based on Tatsuhiko Takimoto's novel and manga series.
