Heya WA folks!
So there's some good news and bad news...okay, mostly bad news.
The Hyde Park Inn, where we've enjoyed our WA meetings for the past few years, has sadly been closed down. The owners have sold the place, and at this moment we're unsure how long it will be before we will (or even if we will ever) be able to use the venue for WA again.
The good news is that the people who previously managed the Hyde, are due to take on a new place, which is The Woodside (which is just off Ebrington Street. See here for details), but it's going to be a while before we'll know if we're able to use it as a WA venue.
In the meantime, we are frantically searching under every manhole and dustbin (Roast Chicken, 1000 points! Yes!) ...I mean, location, for a temporary new Venue so we can still catch our dose of Anime each other Thursday and Monday.
So watch this space and bear with us while we sort something out. Who knows? We might even still have WA this Thursday if a shockingly good location pops up all of a sudden, so keep an eye on the forum and the Facbook group for updates and we'll keep you posted.
Also, this is a very long roundabout way of saying "No WA this week, go out and get some fresh air!"

Well this week, having won the poll by the narrowest of margins, we'll be watching Tales of the Abyss; Luke, the spoiled son of a noble from the kingdom of Kimlasca-Lavaldear, has been confined inside his father's mansion ever since he was kidnapped seven years ago by a rival country. Now Luke's memory of the life he led before is missing, and a strange voice, which only he can hear, has been calling out to him ever since. One day while training with his mentor, a strange woman called Tear breaks into the mansion with the sole intent of taking Van's life. During the struggle Luke is transported far from home, along with Tear, and now that Luke has finally gained the freedom he's been dreaming of, what awaits him in the outside world will shatter everything he's ever known about himself.
Plus find out what happens to Guts and co after their rescue of Griffith, as we reach the blood splatered conclusion to our featured series Berserk.
Cya Thursday

Whoa! Apologies for the lateness, as this week's WA meeting is TONIGHT. So cancel those plans you just made, it's WA night!
We're starting things off with the first two episodes of Tegami Bachi, which will make you respect your local Postman more than you ever have before.
After this we've got more Berserk, as things start building up to the series finalé, Guts returns to aid the Hawks, and it's up to them to rescue the captured Griffith.
See you tonight!

Ever found yourself in the situation where you're out and about, and unsure if WA is on this week? Forgotten what's on the playlist? Forgotten what bus you need to catch?
Then fear not, as WA mobile is here! Just visit www.westcountryanime.org.uk from your phone and you'll be automagically sent to the new mobile site, with all the information you need at your fingertips.
The site should work well on most recent phones, and has been tested on an Android phone and an iPhone. However, if you see any bugs or glitches then let me know. There's also no access to the forum at the moment, but I'm hoping to implement this at a later date.

This week we'll be watching the feature film, Sword of the Stranger; Hunted by the Mings from China, young Kotaro and his dog meet a nameless samurai who is constantly being haunted by dreams of the past which lead him to seal his sword. Among the Mings is a fiercesome Western fighter named Rarou, who desires only to find a worthy opponent. When both groups clash with a Sengoku-era feudal lord, a proud general, and monks torn between faith and survival, the reason behind the Mings' pursuit tests the bond between Kotaro and Nanashi.
Plus Guts' seeks to leave the Band of the Hawk, in our featured series Berserk.
Cya Thursday.

Some of you may have already heard me mention this, but WA is gonna be going to be fortnightly for the foreseeable future.
But worry not; it will be alternate weeks to WA+, so you'll always have the chance to get your anime fix once a week (just no more double helpings once a fortnight).
So meetings are as follows:
There is the possibility we may squeeze in more thursday meeting than that, but it depends on the room's availability, and i won't know till Monday nights. So unless i tell you otherwise assume it follows the pattern established above.
