October Special Features
October is, of course, the month for all manner of scary things and spooky
events. Hence our annual Halloween theme, this time led by the supernatural
piece, Elementalors. This is accompanied by the fan-favorite
Dirty Pair Halloween Special and AnimEigo's Vampire Princess
Miyu. Plus, a special surprise that came too late to go on
the printed flyer: the new Ranma 1/2 OAV, with a very appropriate Halloween-ish
story. Of course, we still have our usual dose of Nadia, along with what seems
to be our ritual (annual) showing of 3x3 Eyes. Now read on or
click here to see This Month's Flyer.
Schedule
- 12:30 3x3 Eyes #3

Demon-Eyed King. But can even their combined forces rescue Ling-Ling and
the Ningen Statue?

- 1:00 Ranma 1/2 Super #1
- (Subbed, Action comedy)
In "The Heartbreak Cave! Our Love is Forever!" the entire cast goes
on an outing to a mysterious haunted cave, called the Heartbreak Cave. It is
Ukyou and Shampoo's idea to use the cave to split Ranma and Akane, but the plan
doesn't quite work out. What with Ryouga accidentally showing up, and Ranma
and Akane not cooperating, things turn out a bit differently than planned...

- 1:30 Elementalors
- (Subtitled, Fantasy adventure)
This is a unique fantasy story in which the Elementalors, those who can
control the natural spirits, are waging a War of Power for control of the
Earth. The leader of one side, Shiki, is desperately trying to get his
captured daughter back, no matter what the cost. Unfortunately, two
seemingly regular kids, Asami and Kagura, get caught in the middle of this
when Asami is kidnapped to become the next Deepa, sort of a channel
for an Elementalor's powers. The only way they can survive may be if they,
too, can control the spirits.

Nadia and Marie are struck by a terrible illness in "The Valley of
Dinichthys." The only way they can be saved is with a medicinal moss

but when the Nautilus reaches the reef, they discover a leviathan living there.

"Ai's Memorial Date Wearing the Dress that Youta Gave Her": Ai insists

is his own overeating. As he is forced to rise through the weight classes,
his hopes of winning fall correspondingly... until he meets the beautiful
Sister Angela, a young nun who inspires him to really try. Now, as Kosaku
battles to stay within the weight limit, he also wrestles with his feelings

info, but the ensuing firefight goes too far, and they accidentally crash-land
the ship they're trying to stop and release its cargo. The cargo goes on a rampage
in the nearby city, perfectly disguised... because it's Halloween Night.

Eventually she is drawn into a tragic, tangled web that includes a mysterious
death by arson, and one of Miyu's oldest enemies. This is a story of loyalty,
deception, sacrifice, and good intentions gone wrong.
