Second Meeting

Second Meeting

We had our second meeting on September 2, where we started off by discussing a few things about the meal plans and why they are now the way they are. Darrell also presented us with our first event this year which will be going to a Japanese sort of festival down at the city library. There we will be running a haiku table. If you are interested in helping out let us know either by email or at one of the meetings. At this meeting we showed episodes 4-6, so if you missed it you can read up a little on it and catch up.

all episode guides come from http://www.animeinfo.org/featured/eva/evaanime.html.

4 - Rain, Escape, and Afterwards/Hedgehog's Dilemma

Dreading both those around him and himself, Shinji runs away from Misato, NERV, and life. Alone as he was before he is able to try and think through his reasons for piloting as well as decide on whether or not to return. In the meantime, NERV searches frantically for the lost EVA pilot, and finally finds him - but there is no sense of relief, only anger at his actions. Shinji now faces the termination of his short but turbulent employment with NERV, but he just might find a source of strength from two new friends.

5 - Rei, Beyond Her Heart/Rei I

Making a fresh start in NERV, Shinji now turns his attention to Rei Ayanami, his quiet and enigmatic fellow pilot who always seems to be alone and by herself - that is, except when she's talking with his father. Shinji begins to wonder about the relationship between Rei and his father, and especially about Rei's odd behavior in general. However, he has no time to process any of what he observes, because a new and deadly Angel makes an appearance - and Shinji is first hand receiver of its primary weapon.

6 - Showdown in Tokyo-3/Rei II

After being seriously injured at the hands of the Angel, Shinji is forced to pull back while NERV considers its options. Working against time, as the Angel drills to the Geo-Front below, Misato comes up with a last-ditch plan involving both EVAs and a highly experimental positron rifle that just may have the ability to eliminate the threat. Not only do both Rei and Shinji have to learn to work together, but they must also hold the entire power supply of Japan in their hands as they prepare for one last attempt at defeating the most powerful Angel yet.

Well we hope to see you at our next meeting on September 9, at 5:15 pm in the Library, room 102. Bring your dinner if you want, we usually dont start the meetings till about 5:30 anyway, so take your time. The only thing new that we can talk about at this meeting will be what Darrell and I learn from the RSO leadership event on Friday at 1:30 pm. If you find anything interesting that you want to talk about some at the meeting, bring it with you and well have fun. If you have been to either of the meetings, you probably have figured out that leaving the meeting is a hard thing to do (thanks to funny and entertaining stories).
