Week 0 Friday, January 7 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:45 Sorairo Utility (CR, Funi) 6:45 - 8 Samplers: In the Land of Leadale (CR) Girls' Frontline (Funi) Slow Loop (Funi) 8 - 8:15 Voting 8:15 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 10:30 Features: Kaguya-sama S2 OVA (fs) Macross II eps 1-2 2-3 (fs) Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files {Rail Zeppelin} Grace note -Special Episode- (CR) Extra sampler: World's End Harem (CR) Notes: We did some voting between Sorairo Utility and Land of the Leadale. Aside from that we were pretty much on-schedule through intermission. David took off after the Kaguya-sama OVA. For Macross II we decided to rewatch episode 1 before moving on to episode 2. After Macross we only had about 30 minutes left - not enough time for the Lord El-Melloi special. So we decided to watch one more sampler - hopefully one David, Adam, and Gene wouldn’t miss. We (Alan) picked World’s End Harem (CR). Incidentally, Steve confirmed that Gene was in fact alive and doing things in Indiana; he wasn't sure why Gene wasn't attending showings - possibly it's just because of the time difference. Incidentally, we need to add Steve to the club's mailing list so he receives the regular emails... Attendance:

Attendance:
Week 1 Friday, January 14 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Sampler: The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt (Funi) 6:55 - 7:20 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 1 (CR, Funi, VRV) 7:20 - 8 Arcane 2 (Netflix) 8 - 8:10 intermission 8:10 - 9 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6: Stone Ocean 2-3 (Netflix) 9 - 9:50 Ranking of Kings 3-4 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:50 - 10:15 TRESE 2 (Netflix) Notes: Gene made it tonight, but no Stevezilla until much later - around when we got to TRESE. Victor logged in about 1 minute after Gene logged out (in the 1st episode of Jojo for the night). Attendance:
Saturday, January 15 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Komi Can't Communicate 3-4 (Netflix) 7:20 - 8:10 The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent 3-4 (Funi) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: 9:20 - 10:10 Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut 2-3 (Funi) Notes: Alan was about 20 minutes late. We didn’t have to bail on either of the scheduled samplers early, but we still had time for Cue! Attendance:
Week 2 Friday, January 21 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Sampler: Sabikui Bisco (CR, Funi, VRV) 6:55 - 7:20 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 2 (CR, Funi, VRV) 8 - 8:10 intermission 8:10 - 9 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6: Stone Ocean 4-5 (Netflix) 9 - 9:50 Ranking of Kings 5-6 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:50 - 10:15 TRESE 3 (Netflix) Notes: Attendance:

Futsal Boys wasn't our thing, Orient was terribly generic and not very good, and Love of Kill was actively creepy. None were good. Attendance:
Week 3 Friday, January 28 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Sampler: Orbital Children (Netflix) 6:55 - 7:20 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 4 (CR, Funi, VRV) 8 - 8:10 intermission 8:10 - 9 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6: Stone Ocean 6-7 (Netflix) 9 - 9:50 Ranking of Kings 7-8 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:50 - 10:15 TRESE 4 (Netflix) Notes: Attendance:
Saturday, January 29 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Komi Can't Communicate 7-8 (Netflix) 7:20 - 8:10 The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent 7-8 (Funi) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: Tokyo 24th Ward (CR, Amzn, Funi, VRV) 9:20 - 10:10 Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut 6-7 (Funi) Fallback samplers: Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout (CR, VRV) Notes: David had to take off early, and so did Adam. So we swapped the Irina and sampler slots, and didn't try to hit any of the fallback samplers. We did make it through the double-length Tokyo 24th Ward 1st episode, but it wasn't good enough to really warrant that much time. Attendance:
Week 4 Friday, February 4 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Sampler: Tribe Nine (Funi) 6:55 - 7:20 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 4 (CR, Funi, VRV) 8 - 8:10 intermission 8:10 - 9 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6: Stone Ocean 8-9 (Netflix) 9 - 9:50 Ranking of Kings 9-10 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:50 - 10:15 TRESE 5 (Netflix) Notes: Gene left at one point, then appeared to reconnect later in the night. From his brief comment, it sound like his Mac Mini restarted and somehow opened up Discord and reconnected? Attendance:
Saturday, February 5 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Komi Can't Communicate 9-10 (Netflix) 7:20 - 8:10 The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent 9-10 (Funi) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: Fantasia Sango - Realm of Legends (Funi) 9:20 - 10:10 Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut 8-9 (Funi) Fallback samplers: if (Now > 9:30) Shenmue the Animation (CR, VRV) else Notes: Adam said he couldn’t make it tonight; he popped in right at the end of Komi, but had to leave partway through The Saint’s Magic Power Is Omnipotent. We made it all the way through the regular samplers, so we didn't end up watching any of the fallback samplers. Attendance:
Week 5 Friday, February 11 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Sampler: Requiem of the Rose King (Funi) 6:55 - 7:20 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 5 (CR, Funi, VRV) 8 - 8:10 intermission 8:10 - 9 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6: Stone Ocean 10-11 (Netflix) 9 - 9:50 Ranking of Kings 11-12 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:50 - 10:15 TRESE 6 (Netflix) Notes: We transitioned to the 2nd half of Ranking of Kings with episode 12. TRESE really falls apart in the last 2 episodes - the overarching plot just doesn't work. It might be interesting to see if the source material Attendance:
Saturday, February 12 on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Komi Can't Communicate 11-12 (Netflix) 7:20 - 8:10 The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent 11-12 (Funi) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout (CR, VRV) 9:20 - 10:10 Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut 10-11 (Funi) Fallback samplers: Notes: Steve popped in for a couple minutes during Sasaki and Miyano, then dropped off. We bailed on Sasaki and Miyano. That left us with enough time to fit in a Shenmue sampler before going to Irina. Attendance:
Week 6 Friday, February 18 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 6 (CR, Funi, VRV) 6:55 - 7:35 Arcane 7 (Netflix) 7:35 - 8 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6: Stone Ocean 12 (Netflix) 8 - 8:10 intermission 8 - 9 Lupin III part 6 eps 1-2 (HD) 9 - 9:50 Ranking of Kings 13 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:50 - 10:15 The Faraway Paladin 1-2 (CR, VRV ) Notes: back in person - at least David and Alan (and later Victor) were. Some tech issues with the setup - limited upstream (we dropped to 480p) and with audio pickup at Alan’s (trying to get conversation picked up without feedback from the TV was challenging). By the middle of Arcane, Alan’s stream to others was lagging pretty severely, even outright freezing - Alan and David could even see this on Alan’s iPad. We switched to having Brian stream, and then things worked pretty decently. We tried having Alan stream Lupin after the break (when we were already running late), and that still didn’t work. So we put off Lupin this week and went back to Brian for streaming with Ranking of Kings 13 followed by The Faraway Paladin 1-2. Attendance:
Saturday, February 19 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Princess Connect!

Also, David’s computer had to be rebooted after Xwindows crashed when trying to play the first few seconds of Irina. Alan brought in discs to give away. Arthur took: Josee, the Tiger and the Fish; Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress; and Un-Go Brian took: Shirobako movie BD David took: J-Novel release of Slayers light novel omnibus 1; El Hazard; Millennium Dragon; The Wind Rises; and Sword Art Online 2 BDs Attendance:
Week 7 Friday, February 25 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 7 (CR, Funi, VRV) 6:55 - 7:35 Arcane 8 (Netflix) 7:35 - 8:25 Lupin III part 6 eps 1-2 (HD) 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 9:25 Ranking of Kings 14-15 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:25 - 10:15 The Faraway Paladin 3-4 (CR, VRV ) Notes: new setup seems to be working OK, once Arthur and Adam got their stream audio setups working OK. Alan still has a bit of an issue switching from viewing the wired stream to controlling it. Attendance:

Oh, also this week on March 1 the announcement came out: Funimation and VRV are going away, at least in terms of streaming: they're being merged into Crunchyroll. Series are currently being moved over, with history, watchlists, and digital purchases supposedly to follow. Attendance:

Re:Dive Season 2 eps 5-6 (CR, VRV) 7:20 - 8:10 The aquatope on white sand 5-6 (CR, VRV) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Blade Runner Black Lotus 6-7 (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Nomad: Megalobox 2 eps 6-7 (Funi) Notes: Audio issues from David’s setup, resolved after making no obvious changes. We may want to look into OBS at some point to see if that gives us a more stable setup or more options… Attendance:
Week 9 Friday, March 11 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 9 (CR, Funi, VRV) 6:55 - 7:20 Sampler: Salaryman's Club (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 Lupin III part 6 eps 5-6 (HD) 8:10 - 8:20 intermission 8:20 - 8:50 Orbital Children 2 (Netflix) 8:35 - 9:25 Ranking of Kings 18-19 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:25 - 10:15 The Faraway Paladin 7-8 (CR, VRV ) Notes: Adam let us know he wouldn’t be able to make it much if at all tonight. He did make it later. We're no longer having any major technical issues with streaming from Alan's home, but we're having to mute on his side to keep voice chat from picking up a lot of feedback from the TV. Attendance:

Re:Dive Season 2 eps 7-8 (CR, VRV) 7:20 - 8:10 The aquatope on white sand 7-8 (CR, VRV) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Blade Runner Black Lotus 8-9 (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Nomad: Megalobox 2 eps 8-9 (Funi) Notes: No audio issues with streaming this week.

Saturday, March 19 at the Regal Edwards Alhambra 4 - 6 Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Notes: Movie didn't start until around 4:25 between all the trailers (and even an ad in between them). Everyone seemed to like the movie well enough, and it did pretty well in the US box office, second only to the contemporary live-action Batman movie. Attendance:
Saturday, March 19 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:50 - 7:40 Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2 eps 9-10 (CR, VRV) 7:40 - 8:30 The aquatope on white sand 9-10 (CR, VRV) 8:30 - 8:50 intermission 8:50 - 9:40 Blade Runner Black Lotus 10-11 (CR) 9:40 - 10:30 Nomad: Megalobox 2 eps 10-11 (Funi) Notes: We started showings fairly late, so we only watched 1 episode of Megalobox 2. Alan had to leave immediately after showings. Attendance:
Week 11 Friday, March 25 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Restaurant to Another World S2 ep 11 (CR, Funi, VRV) 6:55 - 7:20 Sampler: Hareluya II Boy (HD) 7:20 - 8:10 Lupin III part 6 eps 9-10 (HD) 8:10 - 8:20 intermission 8:20 - 8:50 Orbital Children 4 (Netflix) 8:35 - 9:25 Ranking of Kings 22-23 (CR, Funi, VRV) 9:25 - 10:15 The Faraway Paladin 11-12 (CR, VRV ) Notes: Attendance:
