XD Well, we've added Cars 3, Blade Runner 2049, and A Bad Moms Christmas in February! Not sure what I've missed in between.<P>
We also now have the popular new anime release, Yuri On Ice, and will be previewing it on Feb 16, at the Fruits Basket/Chinese New Year night, so if you love pretty boys and/or figure skating,don't miss it! (We are waiting on cataloging to add it to the shelf.)Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195549907949630564.post-32010318146009171072018-01-12T17:06:00.000-06:002018-01-12T17:07:13.133-06:00Chinese New Year and New Movies!On February 16th, we will be having a special Fruits Basket viewing to celebrate the Year of the Dog. Hope to see you there!<P>
One of the things I am always asked is, "Do you have anything new?" The library spends around $400 a month on videos, so the answer is YES. Remembering what they are is often a problem, especially since the new releases usually have long waiting lists.<P>
So, I am going to try posting our new titles here! (Disclaimer: if I stop, it's not because we've stopped getting movies, probably just because I forgot. Or got too busy. Or got bored with it. Heh, heh.)<P>
Today we added:<P>
The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Part 2 of Season One, and Season 2. (We already had Season 1 Part 1. By the way, in spite of what the catalog says, this is a combo set, so if you don't have a blu-ray player you can still watch it.)<Br>
Foreigner<Br>
Battle of the Sexes<Br>
American Made<Br>
The Osiris Child<Br>
Home Again<Br>
Mother!<Br>
IT<Br>
Dark Horse<Br>
Riddick: The Complete Collection<Br>Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195549907949630564.post-42066512961558979392017-06-22T16:10:00.001-05:002017-06-22T16:10:27.792-05:00Exciting new movies!I have to say, this is a great time to be scheduling the Friday Night movies. So many top-level new releases that we're scheduled all the way to Halloween! I keep a couple of emergency fall-back movies in the drawer in case of a lack of good new releases, but have not had to trot any of them out for some time. (Justin and the Knights of Valor finally got used when the BFG DVD release date was delayed for the second time.) If you are curious, the emergency movies we are holding in reserve are Beyond Beyond and April & the Extraordinary World. <P>
More exciting new anime titles, both dubbed in English! We have GATE, the story of the military action that takes place when a portal to a fantasy world opens, and a unit of the Japanese Defense Force is sent to investigate. Also new is the animated version of School-Live! We have also just added Volume 7 of the manga. This is the story of a club that lives at their school and never leaves...for very good reasons. <P>
Sadly, we have had a couple of brand new movie titles stolen off the shelf recently. It's sad to think someone would steal from the whole community like that. When it happens, I have the choice of spending movie budget money to replace the stolen items (instead of adding even more new titles) and feeling as if I am subsidizing the thief's collection, or just ignoring the theft and not having those stolen movies available for the rest of our community. We wil have to take some new anti-theft measures if this continues.Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195549907949630564.post-37127317663030678232017-04-08T14:01:00.001-05:002017-04-08T14:03:38.558-05:00Anime Afternoon coming fast, even more new titles!Only three weeks till Anime Afternoon!<P>
Thanks to another awesome sale at Rightstuf.com. we have added the Girls Und Panzer OVA disc, Tsukihime, and Problem Children are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? (All English dubbed, too!)<P>

I hope you all can make it. I am looking forward to seeing you there!<P>
We have new and upcoming additions to our anime collection! <P>
On the shelves now is the complete Allison & Lillia, a lighthearted adventure series. In Part One, rookie pilot Allison and her sharpshooter friend Will discover a secret that ends a centuries-old war, and take part in helping to build a peaceful future. In Part Two, Allison's daughter Lillia and her friend Treize work to protect that peace from those who prefer the profits of war. (subtitled)<P>
Waiting in the wings to be added to the catalog is the zany school comedy Nichijou! If you love Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star, be prepared for the next level of total insanity, where you never know what epic battles will rage outside the window when you are sent to stand in the hallway, what lengths your classmate will go to to prevent anyone seeing her naughty drawings, or what strange special features a bratty eight-year-old inventor will build into your robotic friend next.(subtitled)<P>
Coming up on pre-order:<P>
Steins: Gate, the movie! If you have not watched the epic time-travel series yet, now is a good time, because there's a follow-up movie coming to your library. (English dubbed)<P>
Kokoro Connect: What happens when a group of high school students mysteriously starts switching bodies?(English dubbed)<P>
Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon? (17+) An eager young adventurer looking for love sets out to rescue helpless maidens in distress, only to discover that he is the one in need of rescue!(English dubbed)<P>Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195549907949630564.post-65706239978567364982016-12-16T15:07:00.001-06:002016-12-16T15:07:13.140-06:00Ice Age cancelled due to snow storm!Sorry, there will be no Friday Night movie tonight, Dec 16, due to expected heavy snowfall.Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195549907949630564.post-14715499017345043972016-11-29T14:57:00.002-06:002016-11-29T14:57:49.795-06:00Movie schedule changeWe have decided to save Kubo and the Two Strings for a summer event, to include origami-folding!

But then I clicked the link to buy tickets, and the nearest theater was near Chicago.
<P>
But we have our own theater! So, for those of you who love the story of Chihiro (and those who have never seen it yet) we will have a special showing here at the library on Monday, December 5th, at 7 pm. Hope to see you there!

Have to leave the TV on for the dog these days, and it's resulted in my discovering some fun stuff on PBS. We have added a couple of Odd Squad DVDs to the children's section, and Stephen Hawking's Genius.
<P>
By the way, when I was at Kitsune Kon this year, we played a group game of the visual novel, Long Live the Queen. I'd love to do something like that for the library, but with a title more geared to younger children. (Not all that complicated mood calculation and class scheduling!) Anyone have a good suggestion?Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195549907949630564.post-48600627850344792162016-01-18T11:39:00.000-06:002016-01-18T11:39:03.037-06:00FIIIIIIRE MONKEYS!!!!!Starting February 8th, this will be the Year of the Fire Monkey--doesn't that sound exciting? :D <P>
Sad to say goodbye to two awesome legends this month, David Bowie (Labyrinth, Zoolander) and Alan Rickman (Harry Potter, Galaxy Quest, Die Hard.) <P>
With a new year, as always, comes a new budget! So far we have replaced several damaged and broken items from last year and caught up on some new releases. Do you have suggestions for what you would like us to add this year? Or movies you would like us to screen on Friday Night Movie nights? (Please don't suggest old Disney classics...everybody loves them, but nobody shows up to watch them here.)<P>
New anime this year: readers of the Library Wars manga will be excited to know we will soon be adding the anime series! (Called Library War. They lost the 's' somewhere.) If it's listed in the catalog, it will be added to the shelves later this week (as soon as I finish watching it, ha ha, ha....) I will also soon be ordering Shangri-La, the series that was such a hit at the last Anime Halloween.

Well, Anime Halloween will be on actual Halloween, for the first time in years! Come all dressed up in costume for a free Seroogy bar!<P>
Despite my worry that I had added too much anime to the collection this year, a great sale on Amazon resulted in my buying two more titles. Girls und Panzer, the story of high school girls whose after school hobby is tank fighting! And the re-release of the ever popular GHOST STORIES! That's right, you'll be able to check it out again. We have also added Soul Eater NOT, the moe-girls Soul-Eater spin-off.<P>
For next year, I have my eye on Season 2 of Free and the re-release of Noein.<P>
Hope to see you there! Keep watching!Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195549907949630564.post-45658600248263373042015-05-01T16:24:00.001-05:002015-05-01T16:29:56.307-05:00Even more new anime!Woot!

Our library has also added some exciting new titles!
<P>
Chi's Sweet Home: The cutest anime in history, about a lost kitten and her new family. (Still awaiting cataloging)
<P>
Silver Spoon: A troubled young man enrolls as a Dairy farming student at an agricultural high school, in order to escape problems at home. He is in for a rude awakening as he comes to terms with the facts of farm life.
<P>
Accel World: A nerdy kid with great video games skills is recruited as a champion by a beautiful girl, to take part in a virtual reality fighting game that is more real than it seems.
<P>
Baka & Test: In a school where students use their grades to compete in digital combat, the top students get all the best equipment, and the not-so-bright Class F has to struggle along with broken tables, old textbooks, and no respect. Can they fight their way to a better classroom?
<P>
Space Dandy: Dandy is a space bounty hunter who makes his space living by discovering new kinds of space alien and bringing them in for registration. With his faithful space sidekick (a talking vacuum cleaner) and a Betelguesean space cat, he travels space in his space ship looking for new space life and ogling buxom space waitresses at his favorite space restaurant.

Now Movie Licensing USA allows us to publish our upcoming movie titles on websites! No more wondering what movie I am hinting at. ^^ <p>
Another year has started, a new movie budget, and MORE ANIME! We have added a complete box set of Excel Saga and will be adding Space Dandy and Accel World in time. I am also hoping to squeeze Silver Spoon into the budget.
See you at the movies!Seymour Library Video Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00666695659892139580noreply@blogger.com0
