who is dating Rei, and escapes with them just before news of the attack
spreads across the school, causing panic. The three run into a zombie
that bites Hisashi in the arm before Takashi kills it by smashing its
head. They barricade themselves on the rooftop to witness Self-Defense Force
helicopters flying in to combat the zombie outbreak in the city,

Ghost Hunt follows the ghost hunting adventures of Mai
Taniyama, a first year high school student, who becomes involved with
the Shibuya Psychic Research Center (SPR) and its young manager, Kazuya
Shibuya. Mai nicknames Kazuya Shibuya "Naru" because of his narcissistic
attitude, and the nickname is generally adopted by all those who come
to eventually work with SPR: a Buddhist monk, Houshou Takigawa; a shrine
maiden, Ayako Matsuzaki; a famous psychic, Masako Hara; and Catholic
Priest, John Brown.
Ghost Hunt also explores the paranormal abilities of the
characters, particularly focusing on Mai's "latent psychic abilities,"
demonstrated by her dreaming about information relevant to their cases.
She is often joined in her dreams by someone who she assumes to be Naru
acting as a spirit guide, but who is later revealed to be someone quite
unexpected.

learns her school principal has hired him to investigate an allegedly
haunted school building. Mai later causes the injury of Naru's assistant
and is forced to stand in as a temporary replacement. The principal
also brings in several exorcists and mediums, and more help arrives in
the form of a classmate of Mai's, who claims to have the ability to
sense spirits.
Episode Two: Each member of the team proposes a different theory as to what is
responsible for the odd occurrences. After collecting data overnight,
Naru begins to doubt the presence of any spirits and instead theorizes
that land subsidence is the cause of all the ghostly activity. Mai's
classmate, Kuroda, fiercely insists that a poltergeist is at work, and
evidence appearing to support her idea soon arises.

Noon - 12:50 pm Soul Eater 1-2
Soul Eater is set at Death Weapon Meister Academy
(æ»ç¥æŠåšè·äººå°éåŠæ ¡ Shinigami Buki Shokunin Senmon GakkÅ)—"DWMA"
(æ»æŠå° Shibusen) for short—located in the fictional Death City in Nevada, United States.
The school is run by Shinigami, also known as Death,
as a training facility for humans with the ability to transform into
weapons, as well as the wielders of those weapons, called meisters
.
Attending this school are meister Maka Albarn and her scythe partner Soul Eater; ninja Black Star and his partner Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, who can turn into a variety of different weapons such as a
kusarigama,
shuriken, and
ninjatÅ; and Shinigami's son Death the Kid and his pistol partners Liz and Patty Thompson. The goal of the school's meister students is to have their weapons defeat and absorb the souls of 99 evil humans and one witch,
which will dramatically increase the power of the given weapon and turn
them into "death scythes", weapons capable of being used by Shinigami.
Episode One: Meister Maka Albarn and her weapon partner Soul Eater have collected ninety-nine
kishin eggs, souls of evil humans on the verge of transforming into demon gods called
kishin, and only need the soul of a witch to turn Soul into a death scythe. The two seek out the witch Blair,
who frequently gets the better of them and tries to seduce Soul. During
a battle, Soul tricks Blair into thinking he wants to abandon Maka and
become her weapon, allowing Maka to take her soul. Unfortunately,
nothing happens when Soul eats it, as Blair turns out to be a magical
cat rather than a witch and had merely lost one of her nine souls. All
the souls Maka and Soul collected are confiscated, forcing them to start
over.
Episode Two: Following a failed attempt at collecting the ninety-nine souls of mobster Al Capone and his men, assassin Black Star and his weapon Tsubaki track them down to the residence of the witch Angela, only to find they have all been killed by Angela's bodyguard Mifune.
Black Star fights Mifune, but is easily beaten due to his lack of skill
as an assassin. When Mifune insults him, however, Black Star accuses
him of trying to upstage him and successfully utilizes a surprise attack
that defeats him. However, Black Star decides not to kill him or Angela
once he discovers the witch to be a helpless young girl. In addition,
he declines collecting the mobsters' souls since he himself did not
defeat them.
1:00 pm - 2:55 pm Summer Wars [Movie]
Kenji Koiso (Ryunosuke Kamiki) is a young high school student with a gift in mathematics and a part-time moderator in the massive computer-simulated virtual reality world OZ along with his friend Takashi Sakuma (Takahiro Yokokawa). After Natsuki Shinohara (Nanami Sakuraba) invites him to participate in the 90th birthday of Sakae Jinnouchi (Sumiko Fuji), her great-grandmother, Kenji travels with her to Sakae's estate in Ueda.
While there, Natsuki introduces Kenji as her fiancé to Sakae. Kenji
meets several of Natsuki's relatives and discovers that the Jinnouchi
family are descendants of a samurai who challenged the Tokugawa clan
in 1615. He also meets Wabisuke Jinnouchi (Ayumu SaitÅ), Natsuki's
half-granduncle and a computer expert who has been living in America for
10 years. Kenji receives an e-mail with a mathematical code and cracks it. Love Machine, an artificial intelligence in the OZ infrastructure, uses Kenji's account and his avatar to invade the infrastructure, causing widespread damage. Kenji, Natsuki's cousin Kazuma Ikezawa (Mitsuki Tanimura)
and Sakuma confront Love Machine. Kazuma's avatar, King Kazma, is
defeated as Love Machine continues to steal accounts and create
catastrophic traffic congestions, as well as disabling electrical devices. Two of Sakae's relatives — Rika (Sakiko Tamagawa)
and Shota Jinnouchi (Yutaka Shimizu) – discover Kenji's involvement.
Shota arrests Kenji, but Natsuki has them return to the estate due to
the ongoing traffic congestions. Recognizing the situation as akin to war, Sakae calls her associates
in important positions in Japan's society and her relatives who work in
emergency services. She encourages them to work their hardest to reduce
the potential chaos and damage that could have occurred. Kenji is able
to return control of the virtual world to the moderators and engineers.
Wabisuke reveals that he created Love Machine and sold the program to
the United States Armed Forces. After an argument with Sakae, Wabisuke leaves the estate and Sakae later encourages Kenji to take care of Natsuki during a Hanafuda
match. Kenji and the Jinnouchi family run to Sakae's bedside the next
morning, discovering that she has died. Her youngest son Mansaku (Tadashi Nakamura) reveals she had angina
and Love Machine had deactivated her heart monitor. Kenji, Sakuma, and
most of the Jinnouchi family initiate a plan to defeat Love Machine
using a supercomputer and ice blocks while Natsuki and the others prepare a funeral for Sakae. Kenji, along with Sakuma and the others, capture Love Machine, but
Shota carries the ice blocks to Sakae's body causing the supercomputer
to overheat. Love Machine empowers itself and assimilates King Kazma;
the redirects the Arawashi, an orbiting satellite, onto a collision
course with a nuclear power plant. At the same time, Natsuki discovers a will
left by Sakae before reuniting with Kenji and the rest of the group.
Natsuki has Wabisuke return home before reading Sakae's will, asking the
family to bring Wabisuke back to their lives. Realizing that Love
Machine sees everything as a game, Kenji has the Jinnouchi family play Koi-Koi
with Love Machine in OZ's casino world, wagering their accounts in a
desperate attempt to stop Love Machine. Natsuki wins several rounds, but
gets distracted and nearly loses her "winnings". However, OZ users worldwide enter their own accounts into the wager
on Natsuki's side. Natsuki finally damages Love Machine, but the
artificial intelligence redirects the Arawashi towards a collision on
Sakae's estate. Kenji hacks into the satellite's GPS, but is
unsuccessful. To circumvent Love Machine, Wabisuke disables its
defenses, distracting it long enough for King Kazma to be revived and
assisted by several Jinnouchi family avatars before destroying the
artificial intelligence. Kenji activates the GPS code and redirects the
Arawashi away from the estate. The satellite's impact causes a shockwave
that destroys the satellite and the estate's entrance. The Jinnouchi
family, celebrating their victory as well as Sakae's birthday, has
Natsuki kiss Kenji after confessing their love to each other.

dog". Master Phantomhive's parents were murdered when Ciel was little.
As a result, he made a pact with a demon asking for vengeance upon those

5:00 pm - 6:40 pm REDLINE [Movie]
"Sweet JP" - rightfully named for his personality, retro style, and
refusal to mount weapons on his racecar - nearly wins the "Yellowline"
race against a host of semi-pro alien drivers, most of whom use
oversized vehicles with jet engines mounted with guns and missiles, but
just before the finish line JP's car is sabotaged by an explosive device
placed by his friend and mechanic; Frisbee. In the past, Frisbee and JP
were sent to prison for fixing races for the mafia, and are doing so
again so they can keep racing. While recuperating in the hospital and
reminiscing over his loss, JP finds out that he was selected for the
"Redline" despite not qualifying in the last race due to popular demand,
and because 2 racers withdrew. The Redline race takes place on Roboworld, a militarized planet ruled
by cyborgs. The Roboworld government is violently opposed to the race
being held on their planet as they have several ongoing secret projects,
including a colossal bioweapon called Funky Boy that they wish to be
kept top-secret. JP and the other racers are transported to a backwater
moon near Roboworld to prepare. There he meets Sonoshee the winner of
the Yellowline, who he met before either of them started racing
professionally. After meeting several oddball racers, he has to repair
and refit his car damaged from the Yellowline. With Frisbee acting as
the designer and a friend of theirs, a 4 armed old man procuring parts,
they aim to make a high powered racecar that will hold up against the
other racers. Various colorful and dynamic characters compete in the Redline race
such as "Machinehead" a huge machine man and the reigning champion,
"Super Boins" a pair of pop idols from a magical planet, "Gori-rider" a
corrupt gorilla-like traffic officer, "Lynchman&Johnnyboya" a pair
of bounty hunters, "Miki&Todoroki" a pair of semi-pro racers who get
selected alongside JP to race in the Redline, and a few others.
Guerilla forces on Roboworld as well as the Bounty Hunter team, sabotage
a number of Roboworld's planetary defenses, making the race less than
suicidal. JP, Sonoshee, and the other racers speed across the planet
under heavy attack from the Roboworld military, which have targeted each
of the racers with intent to kill. During the race the guerillas
attempt to unleash and control Funky Boy, but are unable to as one of
the racers crashed into the containment facility, bringing Funky Boy
prematurely out of its slumber. Funky Boy goes on a rampage, destroying
many of the Roboworld units and much of the landscape around them. Even
their most powerful weapon, the Hyper-disintegrator cannons, unable to
stop the beast, one of the Roboworld high ranking generals decides to
merge with another Bioweapon to fight against Funky Boy while the race
continues on. In Funky Boy's rampage, Sonoshee's car is destroyed, knocking her out
in the process. JP however finds her alive and allows her to join him
in continuing the race together. Frisbee who was forced to make another
deal with the Mafia is almost killed when he refuses to sabotage JP's
car again, but is saved by the 4 armed scrounger, who shoots down the
mafia and after sits down to watch the rest of the race with Frisbee.
The final sprint to the finish shows Machinehead with JP/Sonoshee both
fighting for victory. In his haste, Machinehead uses the steamlight; a
form of energy that can release an unimaginable amount of power, to give
him the edge over the race. Sonoshee quickly reciprocates with her own
piece of steamlight, given to her by her father on her seventh birthday.
Both racers blaze towards the finishing line with their cars tearing
away due to the super-sonic speed. With much of the planet in ruin, the red line, marking the end of the
race is broken up, but is quickly remedied as the Redline Mothership
warps from space onto the planetary surface to serve as a ramp leading
to the finish. JP and Sonoshee are neck to neck with Machinehead but
unable to get past him. The explosive placed in JP's car by Frisbee
earlier on, is activated by the scrounger who presses the detonator
counting on the resulting explosion to give what's left of JP's car a
boost of speed to pass Machinehead. Machinehead follows by morphing into
rocket form to increase his speed. Just before the finish line JP's car
completely falls apart, but he, Sonoshee, and Machinehead reach the
finish line. JP and Sonoshee touch the finishing line less than a
fraction of a second before Machinehead and are declared the victors.
Audiences throughout the galaxy celebrate JP's amazing victory. The
other racers, exhausted and in awe remark about the incredible feat
performed by JP. While suspended in weightless motion, JP pulls Senoshee
close and kisses her and the two victors confess their love for each
other.

2:00 pm - 3:35 pm Bleach: Fade to Black [Movie]
In Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi
is attacked in his laboratory by a pair of mysterious siblings wielding
a scythe that erases his memories. In a frightened panic, Kurotsuchi
damages a machine, which causes a massive reiatsu explosion that covers
much of Soul Society in a milky layer of reiatsu in the form of a giant
rampaging river of serpents, killing and freezing many Soul Reapers,
including Kenpachi Zaraki. Rukia Kuchiki
is confronted and attacked by the siblings, erasing her memories and
everybody that has memories of her, and is carried away to a rundown
area of Rukongai by the siblings. Seemingly everyone in Soul Society has
their memories of Rukia erased. In the real world, Ichigo Kurosaki briefly forgets Rukia but in a dream recalls her. Troubled, he and Kon go to Kisuke Urahara
for information. He tells Urahara of the situation, but he does not
remember Rukia despite having her listed as a customer at his shop.
Ichigo and Kon go to Soul Society, where they are attacked by people who
they knew, including Shuhei Hisagi, Renji Abarai and Sajin Komamura,
after Ichigo is forced to use his Hollow powers, but no one remembers
Ichigo. While attempting to flee, he is struck by Komamura's Bankai.
Ichigo is branded an intruder by the captains of the Gotei 13. Rukia
finds herself in Rukongai with no memory of being a Soul Reaper. The
nameless siblings, a sister and a brother, remind Rukia that they used
to be close friends living in Rukongai and Rukia was to give them names,
although she has forgotten them. Ichigo is healed of his injuries by Hanataro Yamada, who seems to have recalled healing him before. Ichigo then goes to Byakuya Kuchiki,
Rukia's brother, for help, but he does not remember Rukia either. After
a direct confrontation with Renji Abarai again, Byakuya directs Ichigo
to his wife, Hisana Kuchiki's, birthplace in Rukongai, where they are
briefly reunited with Rukia before the siblings flee with her from
Ichigo and Kon. Ichigo and Kon are attacked again by captain-class Soul Reapers TÅshirÅ Hitsugaya, Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa but are saved by Renji Abarai, who follows his gut instinct to trust Ichigo. Commander-Captain Shigekuni Yamamoto-GenryÅ«sai
and other captains arrive to capture Ichigo, but Urahara arrives
dressed in his old uniform when he was a captain prior to his exile. He
sends Ichigo, Renji and Kon off to save Rukia, and explains to the
captains that he studied a parasitic Hollow which could erase memories
with its scythe-like tentacle, but it escaped and appears to be
influencing the siblings' actions to an extent. The siblings go to
Kurotsuchi's lab in order to fully destroy the Soul Reapers with the
reiatsu weapon they had used previously, under the belief that the Soul
Reapers were responsible for taking Rukia away from them. Rukia objects
to this, and Ichigo and Renji's arrival prompts Rukia to remember them.
The female sibling succumbs to rage, and she forces herself, her brother
and Rukia to all fuse into one, creating "Dark Rukia". Dark Rukia, seemingly hollowified, unleashes the reiatsu weapon upon Soul Society before battling Ichigo. The reiatsu weapon takes the form of a giant, deformed monster, and the Soul Reapers fight against it, including Yoruichi Shihoin
who had arrived with Urahara, and a freed Kenpachi. Ichigo fights Dark
Rukia and holds back initially to refrain from injuring her. Byakuya
arrives and claims that he should be the one to finish this, but Ichigo
intervenes and manages to free her with his own similar reiatsu,
destroying the Hollow, while Byakuya and Renji destroy the reiatsu
monster. Rukia regains her memories, but the siblings are left mortally
wounded, but are regretful for their actions. Urahara arrives and
explains that the Hollow attacked Rukia and the siblings while
controlling a Soul Reaper's body, but when the body was destroyed, the
siblings trapped the Hollow in their bodies and were sent to Hueco Mundo
for a time, managing to escape after a hundred years to reunite with
Rukia because of their strong desire to be with her. Rukia tells the
siblings their names, Homura and Shizuku, but the two die from their
wounds, much to Rukia's despair. The film ends with Ichigo visiting Rukia at the hill shrine where she
previously visited before during the movie (the shrines were made in
remembrance of her childhood friends who died during adolescence due to
poverty), reminding her that her memories of the siblings will not fade.
Kon, who was frozen during the climactic battle, breaks free and cries
out to not be forgotten by everyone, especially Rukia.

Madame Red creates a plan for Sebastian, Ciel, and Lau to attend a ball
to catch the culprit, which involves Ciel, in a dress and wig, posing
as her young niece and Sebastian in the role of his tutor. They realize
that Elizabeth is attending the ball and must avoid her, lest she blow
their cover. The Viscount takes a liking to Ciel, who flirts with him
hoping to learn his plans. Sebastian distracts Elizabeth and the other
guests by pretending to be a magician. Alone in a room with the
Viscount, Ciel loses consciousness, later awaking to find himself being
sold in a large underground auction, bound and blindfolded. When the
Viscount removes the blindfold in order to display Ciel's eyes, Ciel
keeps them closed, then opens them and calls for Sebastian. The lights
go out, cries are heard, and the candles are suddenly relighted to
reveal Sebastian, who takes Ciel home as the police arrive at the
scene.
