5/8 Exec were present in person. Yiqi and Kajanan joined remotely on Discord.
Firstly, we went through Main Series Candidates which included:
- Akudama Drive
- Haibane Renmei
- Hibike! Euphonium
- Hinamatsuri
- Horimiya (vetoed ☹)
- Iroduku: The World in Colors
- Megalobox
- Odd Taxi
- ReLife (vetoed ☹)
- Sakamichi no Apollon
- Sarazanmai
- Shigofumi: Letters from The Departed (vetoed ☹)
- Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song
- Youjo Senki (Saga of Tanya the Evil)
After 1 round of voting where each available Exec voted for 5 shows each, we were left with:
- Haibane Renmei
- Hibike! Euphonium
- Iroduku
- Megalobox
- Odd Taxi
- Saranzanmai
- Vivy
After the second round of voting, in which each Executive voted for two shows each, Megalobox and Odd Taxi had a very strong lead and were added straight to the final shortlist.
The 3rd round of voting, with each Exec voting for 3 shows each, was used to determine the final two shows, with Haibane Renmei and Iroduku getting the most votes.
So, the final shortlist of Main Series Candidates are:
- Haibane Renmei
- Iroduku: The World in Colours
- Megalobox
- Odd Taxi
Once Main Series discussion was over, we moved on to events planning.
Ideas discussed include:
- Games night, possibly with a team competition element
- Writing socials – could include recommendations, fanfics, debates and anisoc draws
- Vocasoc collab. Could watch Black Rock Shooter
- Boomer night where after each show we raise the year limit by a year
- Member’s Choice
- Genius Party film night + something from director of the room’s favourite short
- Movie nights?
- Restructuring the manga social – lay out the books, put Waterstones sticky notes with recommendations, have people who can talk about recommendations
- Making a live-action anime opening recreation/ Anisoc dubs.
We filled in the timetable with some feasible events.
We distributed the three exec choices for this term and Kapish looked into available rooms for events (which was a lot harder than we anticipated).
Goody’s anyone?
