Library
A new year, a few more new members, and some more new discs in the library (well, rather a lot was licensed during the Summer!) This by way of being a brief introduction to the video library that members of the club can borrow CDs from every week. There's a LOT of anime out there, and with only enough time to play 4 episodes every week, there's a lot that we won't watch at meetings. The video library is here to provide access to a much wider range of anime, beyond what we would normally show - hopefully with something to suit all tastes! It can also be a nice way of trying out new shows that you might not otherwise take the trouble to download. Please note that the library consists ONLY of so called fansub titles, these are unlicensed shows that have been subtitled "by fans, for fans", in keeping with the fansubber ethic, we will remove shows from the library once they have been licensed for western (usually English language) release. I'll have episodes of all the fansubs shown during the meetings, so you can also borrow from the library to catch-up should you miss a meeting, or want to re-watch favourite episodes.I'm reasonably open to suggestions for additions of specific shows or improving the genre representation in the library, just grab me during the break - I'll be the guy with the BIG case of CDs! There is an annual fee of GBP 2.50 for access to the library, this is basically to cover costs for new CD-R, replacing damaged cases, printing case inserts etc. Maximum of 3 discs borrowed per person per week. Discs MUST be returned the following week. Andrew Stoker - LANMA Video Librarian |
