In this cyber-thriller piece from Masumune Shirow (creator of Appleseed

"King vs King" sees tempers boiling over as Hanson and Sanson,
stuck on the island for too long, finally have enough of each other. In order
to decide who's really "better," the two decide to fight it out with
a race. Sanson will train King using his superior strength, while Hanson will
build a mechanical King to navigate the race.

- 3:40 Touch Movie #3
- (Subbed, Baseball and Romance)
In "Don't Pass Me By," Tatsuya and Minami are now seniors in high school.
They have one last chance to make it to Koushien. But at the beginning of the year,
their coach falls ill and a sadistic "demon coach" takes his place who
seems to bear some grudge against the Meisei Baseball team and despises Tatsuya in
particular. The problem is, even if they make it to the finals, Tatsuya will still
have to face his rival Nitta one more time.
---Subtitled by Project Daicon
- 5:10 Ranma 1/2 OAV #4
- (Subtitled, Action comedy)
We didn't have enough time to prepare a better schedule, and stuff slipped through
the cracks! So that's why we're rerunning this OAV: Ranma's class gets a new teacher,
Hinako, who has just a little problem. Sometimes she's the cutely annoying child who's
their teacher, while other times she's the grown-up teacher that all the guys want
to date. What's worse, there is some mysterious connection between her and Happosai...

Of course, some of these
shows we actually started in November, but what's a few months between friends?
Unfortunately, there won't be a meeting next month in February, as the library is
unavailable. But we'll be busy cooking up new stuff for the March meeting as well
as for Fanime Con, so it will be a busy month
for the No-Name staff anyway. And now, on with the schedule...
