Every showing of Aggime (through Spring 1998) began with Rumiko Takahashi's Maison Ikkoku (or as someone else puts it, "Maison Ik-cuckoo"). This tradition started with Chuck Blend, and was the one decision he wouldn't allow anyone else to make. Chuck always wore his "Piyo-Piyo" apron and introduced every episode as "a very nice episode." We would watch one or two episodes per session and only as of October 1997 did we finally make it through the whole series. Plus the movie. Of course, Aggime wouldn't be Aggime without Maison Ikkoku so we started from the very first episode all over again in Spring 98. It's excruciating as hell (especially when Yagami comes along), but it's fun and classic Takahashi. The tradition was discontinued in Fall 1998 due to our official status and copyright concerns.

At the end of every semester we hand out awards to members for any number of reasons, including witty commentary, annoyance-level, or just plain stupidity (just kidding about that last part, okay?).
