Week 0 Friday, March 31 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:45 Voting on shows and re-samplers, possibly to include: Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World(CR) Kaina of the Great Snow Sea (CR) The Fire Hunter ep 2 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (part 3) 38 (Netflix) 8:10 - 8:20 intermission 8:20 - 8:45 another re-sampler 8:45 - 10 Megaton Musashi 26-28 (fs) 10 - 10:25 Akiba Maid War 12 (HD) Attendance:
Notes: Started by voting, then sampling Yamibo episode 1 (CR) since basically nobody but Arthur remembered it). We had plenty of shows at 3 votes, almost enough at 4, so our guideline was to aim for re-sampling 3-vote shows that the Friday folks hadn’t seen yet. We then moved on to High Card episode 1 (CR). Stevezilla had voted for Chillin’ in My 30s… and Gene wasn’t voting, so we held off on re-sampling that. We then moved on to Nier:Automata Ver 1.1a ep 1 (CR). After re-samplers we did some final updating and review of the voting spreadsheet, then took intermission. After that we started up with the last of our scheduled shows. Saturday, April 1 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Schedule-building 6:55 - 7:45 Raven of the Inner Palace 12-13 (CR) 7:45 - 8 Princess Principal: Crown Handler OVAs (fs) 8 - 8:20 intermission 8:20 - 9:15 Samplers My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 (CR) 9:15 - 10:20 Feature: The Ancient Magus' Bride: The Boy from the West and the Knight of the Blue Storm (CR) Other possible samplers for tonight: Heavenly Delusion (Hulu, fs) Attendance:
Notes: In addition to the listed shows, we also re-sampled The Eminence in Shadow ep 2 (HD) and Kaina of the Great Snow Sea ep 2 (CR), and then watched Kaguya-sama: Love is War - The First Kiss that Never Ends 1-2 (CR).
Most of the shows Steve voted for (and all the ones he really wanted - see highlighted capital “X”s in the table below) end up on Fridays. Some samplers on each night. We could make Daily Life of the Immortal King a 1/night deal on Fridays, right at the beginning of the night (like we did with Herbivorous Dragon), which would give people who are running late a chance to avoid missing things on higher continuity shows like, uh…Birdie Wing. Fridays Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 (1/night) Birdie Wing S2 (1/night) High Card / Golden Kamuy S4 Samplers (mostly at the end of the season) intermission Dr. Stone New World (1/night) Trigun Stampede / Bubblegum Crisis Don’t Hurt Me, My Healer / Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity… Saturdays Tomo-chan Is a Girl! / BOFURI S2 In/Spectre S2 / Summertime Render intermission Samplers (around 2/night) GitS:SAC 2045 part 2 / Nier:Automata Ver1.1a Week 1 Friday, April 7 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 1 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 1 (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 High Card 2-3 (CR) 8:05 - 8:15 intermission 8:15 - 8:40 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 1 (CR) 8:40 - 9:30 Trigun Stampede 2-3 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Don't Hurt Me, My Healer! 2-3 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: Steve and Gene hadn’t seen Dr. Stone: Ryusui, so we watched that and only 1 episode of Trigun Stampede. We’ll catch up on Dr. Stone next week. Saturday, April 8 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Tomo-chan Is a Girl! 3 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 In/Spectre S2 13-14 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Samplers, part 1: My Home Hero (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 8:55 Samplers, part 2: The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure: Serving Gods Who Go Too Far (CR) 8:55 - 9:45 Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Season 2 ep 1-2 (Netflix) 9:45 - 10:35 Feature: Kaguya-sama: Love is War - The First Kiss That Never Ends 3-4 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: We only had time for 1 episode of Kaguya-sama tonight Week 2 Friday, April 14 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 2 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 2 (CR) 7:40 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 1-2 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Trigun Stampede 3-4 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Don't Hurt Me, My Healer! 4-5 (CR) Attendance:

Notes: We started late and had a bit of a long break; as a result, even though we bailed out on Kizuna no Allele partway through, we still didn't end up finishing off Kaguya-sama this week. Week 3 Friday, April 21 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 3 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 3 (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 High Card 5-6 (CR) 7:40 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 3 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Trigun Stampede 5-6 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Don't Hurt Me, My Healer! 6-7 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: We watched the trailer for Suzume at the end of the night, since we had some extra time. Saturday, April 22 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Tomo-chan Is a Girl! 6-7 (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 In/Spectre S2 17-18 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: alice gear aegis Expansion (HD) 9:20 - 10:10 Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Season 2 ep 5-6 (Netflix) 10:10 - 10:35 Feature: Kaguya-sama: Love is War - The First Kiss That Never Ends 4 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: We bailed on Alice Gear Aegis Expansion about halfway through. Week 4 Friday, April 28 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 4 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 4 (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 High Card 7-8 (CR) 7:40 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 4 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Trigun Stampede 7-8 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Don't Hurt Me, My Healer! 8-9 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: Long discussion tonight about early episodes of Trigun Stampede having a very different mood from original Trigun. Saturday, April 29 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Tomo-chan Is a Girl! 8-9 (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 In/Spectre S2 19-20 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too(CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Season 2 ep 57-8(Netflix) 10:10 - 10:25 Feature: Princess Principal Crown Handler OVAs 1-2 (BD) Attendance:
Notes: Alan really didn’t like Yuri is My Job, and nobody seemed to like our 2nd sampler - we bailed on it pretty quickly. Alan forgot to bring the Princess Principal Crown Handler OVAs, so we went onto a 3rd sampler: X&Y (CR). Week 5 Friday, May 5 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 5 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 5 (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 High Card 9-10 (CR) 7:40 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 5 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Trigun Stampede 9-10 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Don't Hurt Me, My Healer! 10-11 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: Saturday, May 6 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 Tomo-chan Is a Girl! 10-11 (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 In/Spectre S2 21-22 (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Season 2 ep 9-10 (Netflix) 10:10 - 10:25 Feature: Princess Principal Crown Handler OVAs 1-2 (BD) Attendance:
Notes: Week 6 Friday, May 12 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 5 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 6 (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 High Card 11-12 (CR) 8:05 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 6 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Trigun Stampede 11-12 (CR) 9:30 - 9:55 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 1 (CR) 9:55 - 10:20 Don't Hurt Me, My Healer! 12 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: Steve indicated he’d probably be late next week (5/19) and the week after (5/26), and quite likely even the week after that (6/2); he may be joining from home some of those nights. Saturday, May 13 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Tomo-chan Is a Girl! 12 (CR) 6:55 - 7:45 In/Spectre S2 23-24 (CR) 7:45 - 8:10 Samplers, part 1: Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts (CR) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers, part 2: The Legendary Hero is Dead! (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Season 2 ep 11-12 (Netflix) Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix) Attendance:
Notes: whoops, turns out that Tomo-Chan Is a Girl! Has 13 episodes instead of 12. So we watched that and aimed for fewer samplers tonight. Also, even if we’d had time, Yakitori: Soldiers of Fortune doesn’t arrive on Netflix until May 18, so it wouldn’t be available this week. Week 7 Friday, May 19 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 7 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 20 (S2 ep 7) (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 Golden Kamuy S4 37-38 (S4 eps 1-2) (CR) 8:05 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 7 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 2-3 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Bubblegum Crisis 1 (BD, RetroCrush) Attendance:
Notes: Steve was late (as he’d predicted) and attended remotely, arriving about halfway through Golden Kamuy. Gene decided to take off after the break. Saturday, May 20 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 1-2 (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 Summer Time Rendering 2-3 (Hulu) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Nier:Automata Ver1.1a 2-3 (CR) Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix) Attendance:
Notes: Hulu’s presentation of Summer Time Render isn’t good - the “subtitles” are closed captions, and at first they were desynched from AV by the better part of a second. So our best bet is to download fansubs and plan to watch them, or at least have them as a fallback. We were able to resolve the desynch by reloading the page (I think it was Arthur who suggested that - he hypothesized that the MA rating/warning that Hulu inserted before the episode was just about the same length as the delay). However, the desynch recurred on the 2nd episode of the night without another warning. We bailed halfway through The Sacrificial Princess and The King of Beasts, but ended up much more satisfied with the relative insanity of The Marginal Service (at least for the last few minutes of the first episode). Week 8 Friday, May 26 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 8 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 21 (S2 ep 8) (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 Golden Kamuy S4 39-40 (S4 eps 3-4) (CR) 8:05 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 8 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 4-5 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Bubblegum Crisis 2-3 (BD, RetroCrush) Attendance:
Notes: Saturday, May 27 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 3-4 (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 Summer Time Rendering 4-5 (Hulu, fs) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: 9:20 - 10:10 Nier:Automata Ver1.1a 4-5 (CR) Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix) Attendance:
Notes: Both samplers were at least sort of interesting this week. Rokudo's Bad Girls was a bit like Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! (though it's hard to see it staying interesting for much more than a single episode), while Dead Mount Death Play was outright interesting. Week 9 Friday, June 2 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 9 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 22 (S2 ep 9) (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 Golden Kamuy S4 41-42 (S4 eps 5-6) (CR) 8:05 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 9 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:05 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 6-7 (CR) 9:05 - 10:30 Bubblegum Crisis 4-5 (BD, RetroCrush) Attendance:
Notes: No Gene tonight, and Alan didn’t make it until partway through Dr. Stone. No Steve tonight either. Because Steve couldn’t make it, we decided to maximize his ability to catch up on shows by going with 2 episodes of Ningen Fushin and only 1 episode of Bubblegum Crisis. Saturday, June 3 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 5-6 (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 Summer Time Rendering 6-7 (Hulu, fs) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Nier:Automata Ver1.1a 6-7 (CR) Fallback sampler: Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune (Netflix) Attendance:
Notes: We bailed on One-Hit Kill Sister halfway through, so we had time to sample Yakitori, by author Carlo Zen (create of Saga of Tanya the Evil). We stopped after about 26 minutes of it - we hadn’t realized that the first episode (at least) was around 45 minutes. Week 10 Anime Expo schedule was posted this week. Not in a particularly helpful format, mind - there was no way to organize panels by location, for example. However, every panel description indicated if the room would be cleared before or after the event, and the answer was generally no... Friday, June 9 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 10 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 23 (S2 ep 10) (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 Golden Kamuy S4 43-44 (S4 eps 7-8) (CR) 8:05 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 10 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:05 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 8 (CR) 9:05 - 10:30 Bubblegum Crisis 5-6 (BD, RetroCrush) Attendance:
Notes: We hadn't originally planned the schedule this way, but got lucky on Bubblegum Crisis - episode 6 is meant to follow almost immediately after episode 5. Saturday, June 10 at David's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 7:20 BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense S2 7-8 (CR) 7:20 - 8:10 Summer Time Rendering 8-9 (Hulu, fs) 8:10 - 8:30 intermission 8:30 - 9:20 Samplers: The Cafe Terrace and Its Goddesses (CR) 9:20 - 10:10 Nier:Automata Ver1.1a 8-9 (CR) Fallback sampler: Stella of the Theater: World Dai Star (CR) Attendance:
Notes: There were only 8 episodes of Nier:Automata - production issues that struck back in mid-March stopped the airing at that point - and although the schedule for the rest of the series was supposed to be announced shortly afterward, there was no Nier news story on ANN since that March 18 announcement. Which means the rest of Nier is coming off the schedule - it’ll give us time to make sure we finish all our samplers, at least… Week 11 Friday, June 16 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 11 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 24 (S2 ep 11) (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 Golden Kamuy S4 45-46 (S4 eps 9-10) (CR) 8:05 - 8:30 Dr. Stone New World (S3) 11 (CR) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:30 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 9-10 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Bubblegum Crisis 7 (BD, RetroCrush) Attendance:

Notes: Alan stepped away for a few minutes during the 1st sampler; we bailed on that one fairly quickly. We also ended bailing on My Clueless First Friend for being too repetitive, so we had time for another sampler: Too Cute Crisis (HD). Week 12 Friday, June 23 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:50 Daily Life of the Immortal King S3 12 (CR) 6:50 - 7:15 Birdie Wing S2 25 (S2 ep 12) (CR) 7:15 - 8:05 Golden Kamuy S4 47-48 (S4 eps 11-12) (CR) 8:05 - 8:30 Sampler 1: Heavenly Delusion (Hulu) 8:30 - 8:40 intermission 8:40 - 9:05 Sampler 2: Insomniacs after school (HD) 9:05 - 9:30 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 11 (CR) 9:30 - 10:20 Bubblegum Crisis 8 (BD, RetroCrush) Attendance:

Notes: Alan couldn't tell over the remote connection if Victor made it to David's. Week 13 Friday, June 30 at Alan's and on the PCAS Discord server 6:30 - 6:55 Golden Kamuy S4 49 (S4 ep 13) (CR) 6:55 - 8:25 Sampler 1: Oshi no Ko (HD) - this, this is a feature-length introduction to the series 8:25 - 8:35 intermission 8:35 - 9 Sampler 2: The Dangers in My Heart (HD) 9 - 9:25 Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World 12 (CR) 9:25 - 10:25 Feature: Attack on Titan the Final Chapters part 1 (CR) Attendance:
Notes: In preparation for AX, (1) David joined remotely, and (2) Guy was in town, so he crashed showings in person. We were running late, so instad of Attack on Titan we re-sampled Otaku Elf. Then we spent a long time discussing AX schedules. Saturday, July 1 - no showings due to Anime Expo |
