Hey all–
The first two episodes of Binchou-tan are currently being uploaded to the Anime Club server (it’s two episodes per file, so the third one we watched—the one with other characters—will go up next week when we’ve seen the other one in the file) and will be done in about half an hour. Meanwhile, our fine Vice-President has fixed the web site so that e-mails to the server are publishing automatically again, huzzah! As soon as I get a chance I’ll update the series descriptions (probably Monday or Tuesday).
Meanwhile, it’s contest time! The Faculty Liaison is kindly sponsoring an, ah, odd contest for which the prize is the first DVD of Kodocha, a hysterical show the information for which is attached to this e-mail. The winner will be the Anime Club member who can read or recite the text in this attachment comprehensibly at the highest speed and with the greatest level of hyperactive activity. Shouting, head-jamming, and arm-waving are all highly encouraged. Next week we will have our recitations; start practicing!
I’ll see you all in one week’s time, when Binchou-tan plays shiritori, actually meets the poor little rich girl, and even sees some Kamichu!-style spirits, which Yurie-chama (see the consistency of our Moe theme) proves that a god can get sick, that improving one’s handwriting can be *really* hard work, that beaches are people too, and her own battle prowess as she takes part in a cat civil war!

Attachment:
Sana Kurata has a charmed life.
Not only is her mother a famous, award-winning writer, but she’s the star of the hit TV comedy “Child’s Toy” while still in the fifth grade. But Sana’s biggest concern is Akito Hayama, a pint-sized hellion who’s organized the boys in their grade-school class into a mass of unending noise and violence. With the help of Rei, her manager, chauffeur and “pimp,” Sana is determined to win back control of the classroom from her new arch-enemy.
But as her crusade continues, Sana moves further into Akito’s life, and finds that he might not be entirely bad…or entirely safe.
Volume #1: School Girl Super Star
Sana Kurata may be a famous TV star, but her life is anything but perfect! Her classroom at school is controlled by the boy bullies, all of whom are led by the nasty Akito and his gang of hooligans, who are at it again, wreaking havoc in the classroom. But has Sana discovered Akito�s secret weakness? Will she be able to exploit it to her advantage or will she just make a fool of herself in front of everyone? Sana had better be cautious because when she acts on her plan the consequences aren�t exactly what she expected! What adventures await our heroine?
