(Yes we are still meeting the 31st, but that's technically not jan  
term anymore)

Tomorrow night we conclude Jan Term with the final two episodes of  
Haruhi Suzumiya! What is the phenomena of closed space? What is the  
life-shattering event to which they keep referring? Will the series  
finally make sense?! Yes. It will.

Now, two episodes of Haruhi only takes up maybe 50 minutes of our  
time. I'm sure that only watching that would leave all of you hungry  
for more, so I have a movie for us all to watch after Haruhi!

We will be showing KARAS, a movie best described as:
One part astral-projection spirit Batman
One part supernatural detective story
and about five parts badass.

The best primer I can give you is what it says on the back of the dvd:
"Tokyo: a city populated by both humans and ghostly beings. They  
exist in both dimensions, seen and unseen: spirits, apparitions,  
demons. The balance between these two dimensions has long been upheld  
by the city's guardian crow Karas and his masters. But that balance  
has been thrown into disarray as Eko, a former Karas, has attempted  
to seize power and bring order to the streets through force. The  
entity Yurine, who represents the will of the people, stands in his  
way with her newly risen Karas. Now an ageless battle stretching  
across both dimensions and killing humans and spirits alike is in  
progress."

KARAS is Tatsunoko Production's 40th anniversary animation  
production, and beautifully combines conventional animation with 2d  
and 3d CG.

Hope to see you there!
