The U.T. Anime Club presents
A free showing of Japanese animation
The Anime Club of UT Austin will be having its seventh screening for the
spring semester this Friday, April 21 from 7pm thru midnight. Admission
is FREE and it is open to anyone with an interest in great animation and
stories.
On the program are:
- AH! MY GODDESS, OVA #1-2 (subtitled in English)
Keichi is a college freshman who is left by himself one night to
take phone messages. Bored, he decides to order out for something
to eat but dials the wrong number and gets the Relief Goddess Office
instead. That's when Belldandy, the first of three goddesses, makes
an amusing entrance and introduces herself.
In the first episode "Moonlight & Cherry Blossoms" Belldandy grants
Keichi any *one* wish. Thinking it's a joke, he wishes "that a girl
just like..." Belldandy would stay with him, and BLAM! His wish comes
true! Heaven help him...
The second episode "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a day at the beach
until Belldandy's older sister Urd makes a sizzling entrance and uses
her powers to try and get Keichi and Belldandy into a romantic situation.
This is a must-see! (2 x 30 min) --WHY
- THE IRRESPONSIBLE CAPTAIN TYLER, OVA #12-13 (subtitled in English)
There is no predicting what sort of hilarity and misadventures
await Justy Tyler and the misfit crew of his little ship, the "Soyokaze"
(Gentle Breeze). But he always seems to be able to handle to situation;
he is either an incredibly subtle genius or an incompetent idiot. You
decide! (2 x 30 min) --WHY
- BUBBLEGUM CRASH! OVA#1 (subtitled in English)
This story takes place several years after the end of the Bubblegum
Crisis OVA series (2032-2035), and the Knight Sabers appear to have
gone on with their lives separately. Linna has become a stock broker,
Nene is still working for the A.D. Police, and Priss' career... could
be better. Sylia is as elusive as ever. But the Knight Sabers get
back together with cool new suits to combat a wave of crimes being
committed by bumas (maybe cyborgs, i don't remember). (45 min) --WHY
- MINKY MOMO, OVA #1: BRIDGE OVER YOUR DREAMS (subtitled in English)
This OVA takes a more serious and philosophical turn than most of the
tv episodes of the Minky Momo tv series (2nd series). It takes place after
the tv series, after Minky Momo has become a regular human being and left
behind her magical powers. In Some City on Some Bridge, Momo hears about a
legend behind that bridge, and meets a boy there whose disbeleif in the
legend compels her to try and persuade him to beleive in it. Along with
the boy, she sees many other relationships unfold on the bridge, many
other peoples' lives, and learns about meetings and departures in life.

- DIRTY PAIR TV Episode #1 (subtitled in English)
The WWWA's top duet of trouble-consultants, Kei and Yuri are pitted
against the twisted intelligence of a supercomputer as they try to save
a space-liner from being destroyed on its maiden flight. Mass destruction
rules the day as the "Dirty Pair" demonstrate why they got their nickname.
