Hello!! I got a new computer recently, so I was thinking of celebrating it by streaming my own Anime Night!
I'm pretty sure you all already know how this goes, but I'll try to follow Korby's formula of 3 episodes of each anime, back-to-back.
So what are we watching?
1.
Cardcaptor SakuraMyanimelist score: 8.18Sakura Kinomoto is your garden-variety ten-year-old fourth grader, until one day, she stumbles upon a mysterious book containing a set of cards. Unfortunately, she has little time to divine what the cards mean because she accidentally stirs up a magical gust of wind and unintentionally scatters the cards all over the world. Suddenly awakened from the book, the Beast of the Seal, Keroberos (nicknamed Kero-chan), tells Sakura that she has released the mystical Clow Cards created by the sorcerer Clow Reed. The Cards are no ordinary playthings. Each of them possesses incredible powers, and because they like acting independently, Clow sealed all the Cards within a book. Now that the Cards are set free, they pose a grave danger upon the world, and it is up to Sakura to prevent the Cards from causing a catastrophe!
Appointing Sakura the title of "the Cardcaptor" and granting her the Sealed Key, Keroberos tasks her with finding and recapturing all the Cards. Alongside her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji, and with Kero-chan's guidance, Sakura must learn to balance her new secret duty with the everyday troubles of a young girl involving love, family, and school, all while she takes flight on her magical adventures as Sakura the Cardcaptor.
2.
Gatchaman CrowdsMyanimelist score: 7.51The story is set in Japan in the early summer of 2015. 180,000 people live in Tachikawa City, the "second metropolis" of the Tokyo area. Among them are "Gatchaman"—warriors who fight in special reinforced suits powered by "NOTE," the manifestation of special spiritual powers in living beings. A council has scouted a group of individuals with latent powers to protect Earth from alien criminals. In recent years, the council has assigned Gatchaman warriors to deal with the mysterious entity known as "MESS."
3.
Kuuchuu Buranko / TrapezeMyanimelist score:8.13Many patients with different problems visit the psychiatric ward of Irabu General Hospital; a trapeze artist suffering from insomnia after suddenly failing his jumps, a gangster afraid of knives and sharp objects and a business man who has an erection 24 hours a day. They undergo counseling by Dr. Ichiro Irabu, who is the child-like son of the hospital director. His assistant is the sullen faced sexy nurse Mayumi. With his mysterious injections, and advice that does not make sense, Dr. Irabu confuses his patients. But at the end of his unique treatments, the patients are lead to digging further into their souls to find peace of mind.
As for the time, I'm hoping for this weekend since I believe a number of people have Monday off from school, so I'll leave a poll up (with the option to select both in case you're free for both) and close it sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.
I'm aiming for a
9 PM ~ 12/1 AM EST schedule so hopefully that is okay with you all
Hope to see you there ~
P.S. I got the descriptions from Myanimelist and I'll put up a link when it's ready to go.
EDIT: I made an error of not watching more of Mekakucity Actors (see I saw the original music videos and the first 3 episodes so I assumed the anime would've be nice too) but after some
convincing persuasion from Red, I decided to switch out Mekakucity Actors with Gatchaman Crowds. I think more people might enjoy that one more as it's much easier to follow.
