Gene also didn't vote on shows... We watched episode 2 of Spriggan for the re-samplers; Brian isn’t a fan of the series. After voting and intermission, we decided to re-sample some shows to help us figure out how we wanted to vote:
After that, we tried sampling shows on HiDive, but it wasn’t working. So we switched over to Crunchyroll for
On another night, we should re-sample Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinji (S1 E1) Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy (Netflix) ? Attendance:

More sampler ideas: Yurei Deco (CR) Lycoris Recoil (CR) Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (CR) Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World (CR) Notes: Adam had to take off right after Demon Girl Next Door. For schedule discussions, we decided to push Jojo back to the Fall season so we could shift some samplers to Friday and make time for some features on Saturday. After break, we sampled Lycoris Recoil, then watched Project A-Ko (off David’s Blu-ray because we didn’t need to stream to anyone tonight). Attendance:
Week 1 Friday, July 15 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 1 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Ya Boy Kongming! 2-3 (HD) 7:45 - 8:35 Macross Frontier 15-16 (fs) 8:35 - 8:45 intermission 8:45 - 9:35 BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls’ Story- 2-3 (CR) 9:35 - 10:25 The Executioner and Her Way of Life 2-3 (HD) Notes: Gene had left a note on Discord saying he was spending time with family through July, so he wouldn’t be making it.

Attendance:
Saturday, July 23 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 3 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Chihayafuru S3 eps 17-18 (CR, HD) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 2 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:25 Samplers: Hanabichan ~The girl who popped out of the game world~ (CR) 9:25 - 10:15 Love After World Domination 4-5 (CR) Notes: David had hung up a lot of art he'd picked up (at Anime Expo this year, as well as at prior events). Victor brought Alan some of the items he'd been given at Anime Expo using the Premiere badge, including a baseball cap with a logo no-one could quite read. Attendance:
Week 3 Friday, July 29 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 3 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Ya Boy Kongming! 6-7 (HD) 7:45 - 8:35 Macross Frontier 19-20 (fs) 8:35 - 8:45 intermission 8:45 - 9:35 BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls’ Story- 6-7 (CR) 9:35 - 10:25 The Executioner and Her Way of Life 6-7 (HD) Notes: Adam couldn't make it tonight. We were running a bit late, so we only watched episode 6 of The Executioner and Her Way of Life. Attendance:
Saturday, July 30 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 4 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Chihayafuru S3 eps 19-20 (CR, HD) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 3 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:25 Samplers: Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World (CR) Shine On! Bakumatsu Bad Boys (CR) Musashino! (CR) Fallback sampler: Engage Kiss (CR) 9:25 - 10:15 Love After World Domination 6-7 (CR) Notes: Enough people were unavailable this Saturday that we decided to hold showings fully remotely. We made it through the samplers - avoid Harem and Musahino; Bakumatsu Bad Boys didn't seem great, but at least it and Engage Kiss had something going them. Attendance:
Week 4 Friday, August 5 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 4 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Ya Boy Kongming! 8-9 (HD) 7:45 - 8:35 Macross Frontier 21-22 (fs) 8:35 - 8:45 intermission 8:45 - 9:35 BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls’ Story- 8-9 (CR) 9:35 - 10:25 The Executioner and Her Way of Life 7-8 (HD) Notes: asdf Attendance:

Attendance:
Week 5 Too many things going on this weekend: Ronin Expo on Saturday, Nisei Week Saturday through 8/21, Teasing Master Takagi-san movie in theaters, Yuasa's Inu-Oh in theaters... Friday, August 12 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 5 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Ya Boy Kongming! 10-11 (HD) 7:45 - 8:35 Macross Frontier 23-24 (fs) 8:35 - 8:45 intermission 8:45 - 9:35 BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls’ Story- 10-11 (CR) 9:35 - 10:25 The Executioner and Her Way of Life 9-10 (HD) Notes: Gene was actually online tonight. He said he dropped off his family members at the airport on Wednesday. Presumably that means he’ll be back at regular Friday showings. Attendance:
Saturday, August 13 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 6 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Chihayafuru S3 eps 23-24 (CR, HD) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 5 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: Prima Doll (HD) 9:20 - 10:10 Love After World Domination 10-11 (CR) Fallback sampler: Smile of the Arsnotoria (CR) Notes: We had enough time to hit our fallback sampler as well. Unfortunately, it was the least impressive them: about 5 parts of the Lucky Star episode 1 "how do you eat a chocolate coronet" sketch (itself taken from Azumanga's quick taiyaki gag, I think) to 1 part ominous hinting about a plot in a fantasy setting we don't understand at all. Attendance:
Week 6 Friday, August 19 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 6 (CR) 6:55 - 7:20 Ya Boy Kongming! 12 (HD) 7:20 - 7:45 Macross Frontier 25 (fs) 7:45 - 8:10 BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls’ Story- 12 (CR) 8:10 - 8:35 The Executioner and Her Way of Life 11 (HD) 8:35 - 8:45 intermission 8:45 - 10:30 Feature: Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul (HD, BD) Notes: Alan gave some blu-rays from the Sentai sale to Steve: Kokkoku, And Yet the Town Moves, and Hataraki Man. The Made in Abyss movie was rough. David took off before it; everyone else ended up watching through it and being less certain about actually watching season 2… Attendance:
Saturday, August 20 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 7 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Shadows House 2nd Season 6-7 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Love After World Domination 12 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 10:30 Feature: Belle (BD, HBOMax before it gets destroyed?) Notes: Alan gave away some more Blu-rays. Incidentally, Belle is kind of awful as a movie - not horrifying like Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul, but just deeply flawed at a script level. Attendance:
Week 7 We're starting our back half of the season now, (though we're also finishing off Birdie Wing and Executioner this Friday night). This will allow us to start watching samplers on Fridays, though we'll want to save some of those slots for re-sampling a couple of the better shows we tried out on Saturdays. Also, some movie reviews from last week: Made in Abyss was rough, Belle was bad, Inu-Oh was great, and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was the number 1 movie in America. It probably doesn't hurt that it sidelines Goku in favor of a character with real star power: Piccolo. See if you can figure out which show we've been watching also features his voice... Friday, August 26 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 7 (CR) 6:55 - 7:20 I'm Quitting Heroing 2 (HD) 7:20 - 8 Daily Life of the Immortal King S2 ep 1-2 (CR) 8 - 8:25 Sampler: Uncle From Another World (Netflix) 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 8:50 Sampler, part 2: Case Closed: Zero's Tea Time (Netflix) 8:50 - 9:15 BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls’ Story- 13 (CR) 9:15 - 9:40 The Executioner and Her Way of Life 12 (HD) 9:40 - 10:30 Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun 1-2 (HD) Notes: No Adam or Arthur tonight. This week's Made in Abyss episodes weren't horrifying - just very foreboding. Mixed opinions on the sampler - Brian didn't like it, David and Alan actually found it much easier to get through than the manga. Attendance:
Saturday, August 27 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 8 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Sabikui Bisco 2-3 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 8 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers When Will Ayumu Make His Move? (HD) 9:20 - 10:10 Spy x Family 3-4 (CR) Fallback sampler: The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting (CR) Notes: We had time for the fallback sampler, but not the energy. Almost nobody remembered anything from episode 1 of Sabikui Bisco, but episode 2 was pretty forgiving about that. David feels the setting has big One Piece energy. Attendance:
Week 8 We had a very hot Labor Day weekend on our hands, at least compared to the rest of this summer. There's at least 3 limited-run anime movies in theaters this month: The House of the Lost on the Cap (at multiple times on 9/7); Goodbye Don Glees! on 9/14, 9/18, and 9/20; and Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island on 9/27 and 9/28. Friday, September 2 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 8 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 I'm Quitting Heroing 3-4 (HD) 7:45 - 8:25 Daily Life of the Immortal King S2 ep 3-4 (CR) 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 9:40 Samplers A Herbivorous Dragon of 5,000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized (CR) 9:40 - 10:30 Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun 3-4 (HD) Fallback samplers The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious (CR) My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex (CR) Notes: Adam had to leave a bit before break. We asked about whether we should focus on re-sampling tonight (with Call of the Night and Lycoris Recoil) or new samplers, and David said he was tired, so we went with re-samplers so he could take off early (since he isn’t sticking around for Made in Abyss either). Attendance:
Saturday, September 3 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 9 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Sabikui Bisco 4-5 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 9 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers Teppen—!!!! Laughing 'til you Cry (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Spy x Family 5-6 (CR) Fallback sampler: The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting (CR) Notes: We had plenty of time to fit in the fallback sampler even though we didn't bail out on any of the earlier ones. Attendance:
Week 9 Heat wave broke today as rain came in (almost entirely overnight). Anime movies: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is very good if you like Dragon Ball (but it's no longer near the top of the box office). The House of the Lost on the Cape also got an actual theatrical release - many theaters, many showtimes per day through at least 9/15. And there are still2 limited-run anime movies in theaters this month: Goodbye Don Glees! on 9/14, 9/18, and 9/20; and Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island on 9/27 and 9/28. Friday, September 9 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 9 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 I'm Quitting Heroing 5-6 (HD) 7:45 - 8:25 Daily Life of the Immortal King S2 ep 5-6 (CR) 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 9:40 Samplers The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious (CR) My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex (CR) 9:40 - 10:30 Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun 5-6 (HD) Notes: Gene joined briefly to say he wouldn’t make it tonight. David was joining remotely tonight due to being tonight (and presumably the humidity and rain were part of the decision as well). Attendance:
Saturday, September 10 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 10 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Sabikui Bisco 6-7 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 10 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers 9:20 - 10:10 Spy x Family 7-8 (CR) Feature (as time permits): The Girl from the Other Side 1 (CR) Notes: We took enough time with the samplers that we didn't need a feature tonight. Alan said he was likely to attend remotely on 9/17 (due to Super Dimension Con); David indicated he'd have an unusual schedule around 10/21 and 10/28. Attendance:
Week 10 Friday, September 16 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 10 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 I'm Quitting Heroing 7-8 (HD) 7:45 - 8:25 Daily Life of the Immortal King S2 ep 7-8 (CR) 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 9:40 Samplers Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Netflix) 9:40 - 10:30 Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun 7 and maybe 8? (HD) Fallback re-sampler: Parallel World Pharmacy (CR) Notes: Turns out Guy was in town (house-hunting), so he stopped by for Friday night showings. We ended up watching 2 episodes of Made in Abyss after all. David doesn’t expect to make next Friday showings in person due to the timing of his next Covid booster - he figures the side effects will pretty much take him down. That might be a good weekend to load up on the Made in Abyss. Attendance:
Saturday, September 17 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 11 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Sabikui Bisco 8-9 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 11 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers 9:20 - 10:10 Spy x Family 9-10 (CR) Feature (as time permits): The Girl from the Other Side 1 (CR) Notes: Alan was remote tonight, partly due to travel time issues involved in coming back from Super Dimension Con. Attendance:
Week 11 Friday, September 23 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 11 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 I'm Quitting Heroing 9-10 (HD) 7:45 - 8:25 Daily Life of the Immortal King S2 ep 9-10 (CR) 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 9:00 Sampler: 9:00 - 10:15 Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun 9-11 (HD) Fallback re-sampler: Parallel World Pharmacy (CR) Notes: No Gene tonight - he left a message saying he was too tired. We made it through the scheduled shows (including all 3 episodes of Made in Abyss), but didn’t hit the back-up sampler. Attendance:
Saturday, September 24 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Life with an Ordinary Guys Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout 12 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 Sabikui Bisco 10-11 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Shadows House 2nd Season 12 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers Shoot! Goal to the Future (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Spy x Family 11-12 (CR) Feature (as time permits): The Girl from the Other Side 1 (CR) Notes: We bailed on Shoot! Goal to the Future almost immediately because the protagonist was insufferable. Crunchyroll died consistently about 5.5 minutes into Spy x Family ep 11, so we had to switch to VRV. David will be out of town Tuesday 10/18 - Friday 10/21 (he’ll be back in town on 10/21, but may be at a delayed Caltech reunion); his sister will be in town the weekend of 10/28-10/29. His place may be tented for termites on or around 10/18. Attendance:
Week 12 Friday, September 30 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 The Devil is a Part-Timer!! 12 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 I'm Quitting Heroing 11-12 (HD) 7:45 - 8:25 Daily Life of the Immortal King S2 ep 11-12 (CR) 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 9:25 Sampler: Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury PROLOGUE (YT, CR) I'm the Villainness, So I'm Taming the Final Boss (CR) 9:25 - 10:15 Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun 12 (HD) Fallback re-sampler: Parallel World Pharmacy (CR) Notes: We finished Daily Life of the Immortal King S2...and it segued immediately into episode 1 of season 3, which had apparently gone up less than 24 hours earlier. So I guess we get to consider that for voting. We also realized there were 2 OVAs for I'm Quitting Heroing - we should probably watch those next week. Attendance:
Saturday, October 1 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 My Hero Academia 114 (CR) 6:55 - 7:20 Spy x Family 13 (CR) 7:20 - 7:45 Sabikui Bisco 12 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 The Girl from the Other Side 1 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 10:30 Feature: Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone (Amzn) or, alternately The Girl from the Other Side 2-3 (CR) and sampler: Pantheon (HD) Notes: Brian needs to sample Summertime Rendering - Alan needs to put it in the the PCAS Dropbox folder and share the link. Everyone was up for watching Eva 2.0 next week. A number of folks were definitely not up for watching more of The Girl from the Other Side. So next Saturday’s schedule will look something like:
