Hey All!

I had a brainstorm the other day and I want to try and develop it further. In keeping with the block programming I tried out at last Dreamation (Fantasy-Fest) I'm thinking of doing a two-day block for the next con. More specifically, the next con where I have the entire day to run stuff and am not time-sharing with the Cherry Hill Experiment. After all, it'd be a waste to dedicate a whole day of entertainment on just half a day, no?

Anyway, I was watching Outlaw Star over the course of a few days and the "Pirates vs. Ninja" debate popped into my over-wracked brain, digested for a bit and seemed to stick. Basically it would be one day dedicated to each. In the spirit of group participation I'm thinking of keeping a clipboard with a survey handy at all times. Anyone interested would check off their preference alongside their name/badge number (to prevent a tainted poll...no hanging chads, dammit!!!).

Finding stuff to show for these would be pretty easy but I'm in the market for suggestions.

PIRATES
My Youth In Arcadia/Harlock Saga
Space Pirate Mito
Black Lagoon
The Pirates of Dark Water
Sol Bianca
Outlaw Star

NINJA
Yotoden/Wrath of the Ninja
Dagger of Kamui
Ninja Scroll (late night only...I may even close the doors and card people)
Lupin III movie "Dragons of Doom"
S.T.E.A.M.: The Movie ("Can you spot the ninja? And remember kids, dress invisibly!")
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets

I know there are many more possibilities that I can't think of right now so I'm appreciate any suggestions to add to the list. All suggestions will be given the usual consideration...VERY LITTLE!!!

Seriously though, please post any ideas you may have. As always, I want to make the anime room more than just a place to hang out in between games, but an experience unto itself.

Till then, be seeing you...

Some other ideas that I may explore later...

"Fly The Friendly Skies"
Aeronautical/Pilots titles (Macross Plus, Airbats, Last Exile, Yukikaze, etc)

"Run Silent - Run Deep"
Submariner stuff (Blue Sub No.6, key eps of Nadia, Silent Service, Tide Line Blue)

"Gods & Devils - Angels & Demons"
(Devil Man, Devil Hunter Yohko, Arion, Saint Seiya, Ah! My Goddess, Beating-to-death Angel Dokuro-chan, Eva, Wicked City)

"Bloodsuckers Anonymous"
Vampires...duh! (Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D, Trinity Blood, Blood the Last Vampire/Blood+, Master of Mosquiton, Vampire Wars...ugh!, Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned...double ugh!!)

There could even be themes of giant robots (which would ROCK!), high school hijinks, fantastically female ass-kickers (yet more ROXXORS!!), things that go "bump!" in the night/ghosties & ghoulies, you get the gist.

Later,
Brian & Malak
