A free showing of Japanese animation

On the program are:

• LUPIN TV EPISODE: "FAREWELL LOVELY LUPIN" (subtitled in English)
  One of only two Lupin TV episodes done by Miyazaki, it bears his style unmistakably. In this episode, a series of robberies committed by a robot (like those from Laputa) are linked to Lupin, an internationally known thief. Zanigata picks up the case, but the genuine Lupin has also shown up... to clear his name. A great episode. (30 min) --WHY

• THE IRRESPONSIBLE CAPTAIN TYLER, OVA #10-11 (subtitled in English)
  More of the misadventures of that swashbuckling space-ace, Justy Tyler, and misfit crew of his little ship, the "Soyukaze" (Gentle Breeze). You can't miss this! (2 x 30 min) --WHY

• CYBER CITY OEDO, OVA #2-3 (subtitled in English)
  The story of three convicts released from their orbital prison to work off their sentences as "Kido" detectives hunting down "career super-criminals". To make sure they keep their end of the deal, they are each fitted with an explosive collar around their necks. Their beat is the Oedo cyber-city, a totally computer-controlled mega-city- structure that is home to tens of thousands of people. (2x30 min) --WHY

• THE SAMURAI (subtitled in English)
  This is the hilarious and somewhat risque story of high school student Takashi Shimatsuri, a young samurai-in-training. Despite the anachronism, he goes to school every day in traditional Japanese garb and clad with katana (samurai's long sword) in hand. School life is interrupted when a band of thieves break in and hold his pretty classmate Atsuko hostage. Takashi saves her in excessively melodramatic fashion, but is then confronted by an even greater threat - the Tokiya twins, Akari and Kagieri, two beautiful young ninjas out to retrieve their family's treasure sword which Takashi's dad Raizo won in a duel years ago. Takashi is probably strong enough to beat them, except for his one weakness - an allergic fear of women! But his loyal friends and teacher do their best to cure him of this before the big duel with the twins... --WMA
