Summer is of course time for cricket, so in a tediously self-referentially tenuous link, we'll be seeing what happened when the Americans confused cricket with rounders, played about for a bit and then exported it to Japan, as One Outs starts our Madhouse double-bill.
A double-bill which is of course continued in Kaiji. The game of E-Card has begun, and already Kaiji has won almost as much money as the debt that drove him onto the Espoir. As anyone who's been following the series will doubtless realise, this means we will be seeing Kaiji romp home to an easy victory and walk away safely with a witty quip as he goes 
Usual time, usual place - hope to see you all there.

Sorry about the lateness in getting this post up.
Today's meeting marks 3 years of WA, and amongst a number of celebrations, we'll be bringing you Outlaw Star - after taking up a bodyguard job, it seems like the entire Universe is after Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking. Fortunately, he has one of the galaxy's most advanced ships under his command.
And in Kaiji, only Kaiji and Sahara remain on the final stretch of Brave Men Road, with Sahara clinging to the window ledge, one pull away from his prize. Can Kaiji make it to his prize in time? Or will he fall to his untimely death along with the other 8?
See you there

After a very decisive victory in this week's poll, we'll be showing the story of gang leader-turned-teacher, Great Teacher Onizuka. In charge of a class of intellectual trouble-makers, can Onizuka break down the huge distrust between the students and the other teachers?
And with the winners of the first round of Brave Men Road known, which of the eight willing participants of the second stage will make it across to the money? And who will be taking the long fall to their death? Find out in this week's Kaiji.
7:30pm this Thursday. Simples.

Well it's time for WA to get re acquainted with some old friends over at Public Security Section 9, as we watch the first 2 episodes of Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig (GITS: SAC SeG for short). The laughing saga may be over, but that doesn't mean that it's about to be a walk in the park for the Major and co.
Meanwhile, the voyage of the Espoir may have come to an end, but in return for saving the life of another man condemned to the back room Kaiji has left the ship with his original debt doubled. However, another opportunity has presented itself high above the Starside Hotel in the form of Brave Men Road.

This week sees us visiting ancient Japan, in Basilisk. Two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of the Iga and Manjidani of Kouga, battle each other to determine which grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu will become the next shogun. The deadly competition between 10 elite ninja from each clan unleashes a centuries-old hatred that threatens to destroy all hope for peace between them.
And in Kaiji, Andou's betrayal has left Kaiji stranded in the other room. Can Furuhata convince Andou to let Kaiji out or has the prospect of millions of Yen gone to his head? And what lies ahead for those stranded in the other room?
All will be answered this Thursday - see you there!

For those of you who've missed previous showings of the Read Or Die tv series (RoD:TV), then your in luck this week. Three paper-manipulating sisters, Michelle, Maggie and Anita, become the bodyguards to struggling Japanese novelist Nenene Sumiregawa.
Also, with only 15 minutes remaining in the restricted Rock Paper Scissors match, Kaiji, Furuhata and Andou are still 3 stars away from survival. Will Funai's plans to shuffle up the proceedings work against the trio? Or will they make it off the Espoir alive? Find out in this week's Kaiji.
Cya Thursday
(and remember to bring ID).
