| My friend started an anime club in school last week which was intended for a small number of people but after seeing the turnout(55 people) it was declared a success. For a non-sports club we have the highest numbers lol. The club due to age reasons was split up into under 15's(the majority) and over 15's(now down to a dozen T_T. under 15's decided to watch SAO (yeah it's age appropriate). While me and the rest in the other club haven't fully decided, even though we watched the 1st eps of Akame ga Kill and Parasyte the Maxim. We also had the idea of following an airing anime in January as winter season starts at the same time as the next school term but it has to be on Crunchyroll (uk region-locked) So I was wondering do you MALusers like watching anime as a group? |

| No never, I hate watching things I enjoy with people who can't appreciate it. Most anime watchers over here think Naruto is the best ever. |
| I've been here way too long... |
| wtf that's sad you had to split. I feel bad for all the mature kids in the U15 group who want to watch better different shows rather than SAO. I go to my university's anime club on occasion (friends! yay) and we watch sometimes. Last time I watched something with them was Noragami episode 1, and it was pretty fun. Not a huge fan of group simulwatches tho |
| I used to go to anime club in undergrad since some of my friends ran it, watching Boogiepop Phantom and getting mindfucked as a group for 12 weeks was pretty amusing. |
| Don't know of any clubs |
RinArcher said: Unfortunately, there were no Anime Club in my school. But if you mean by conventions, I take a ride to my local one in Ontario a few times to see whats going on over there. Wait are we talking about internet clubs or real life clubs here? Real life clubs and I have yet to go to an anime convention, they seem awesome though.

Well I would hate it if everyone had the same opinions on a certain anime. mayukachan said: wtf that's sad you had to split.

| Haven't started university yet, and we didn't have any clubs in HS, don't really know if they even have clubs in university either. |
| Watching anime in a group, oh lord :( Sao >> AGK thou :) just saiyan Tell the 15's to watch Tiger and bunny- ghost hunt- Yondemasu Yo,Azazel-san |
 |
ichii_1 said: Tell the 15's to watch Tiger and bunny- ghost hunt- Yondemasu Yo,Azazel-san The first two (idk about the third) are pretty good choices. |
| Anime club? nah. the last thing i need are weebs crying beside me shouting "da feeelz" |
| Hah,weebs. TheConquerer said: No never, I hate watching things I enjoy with people who can't appreciate it. Most anime watchers over here think Naruto is the best ever. |
mayukachan said: You guys should have a vote on what to watch and people can switch over to a different group if they want to. We did have a vote for the anime chosen before we split the club. Options: being age appropriate Naruto 1 SAO 2 Black Butler 3 who do you think was gonna win!!!!??? If other students wanna switch, they should ask the teacher directly themselves(who is an avid anime fan themselves) and so its not my problem. |

| Why are the choices so mainstream? Some "sommelier" of anime (haha Denkigai reference) should put some more unknown titles down. |

We watched Tiger and Bunny in my anime club, I watched the first couple of episodes but then I couldn't go to the club anymore due to having a soul crushing work load :| |
| Nope don't have one. All the people who are into anime in my uni either have shit taste or are heavily into League. Which is really really sad |
 |
| no but wish i could have tried it out.... though im sure i would have hated it |
Okashi_sama said: Anime club? nah. the last thing i need are weebs crying beside me shouting "da feeelz" I don't know what the f*ck you're on about as my group combined are very knowledgeable about anime but then again I don't know if you're describing what you've experienced. |

Nicoreos said: I'd like a field note on exactly what they've watched, perhaps this would be a wonderful anthropology project. From Gundam to Bebop to Elfen Lied to School Days to Higurashi to Railgun etc. We've seen a lot combined to make a fair judgement on anything. |

| I have been attending a 16+ anime society weekly since 2008. We are not a part of any Universities or colleges, just a group of adults who love anime and going to the pub ^^ |
| No. |
 |
| yeah..., I prefer to keep my interest in anime to myself. It's not something I exactly pride myself in enjoying. + There are some legit weirdos out there. (i.e: the anime/weeb club from my old highschool.) |
RinArcher said: Nicoreos said: Who are you to tell me what to think? I actually have plenty of friends IRL who like anime, but not one of them is part of my college's club because we all know they're a bunch of fucked up weirdos who probably aren't presentable. Are you saying I have to be what I described to be a "respectable" anime fan? Anime is a hobby for me, not my life, so please, let's not make equally bait responses in return. I never asked about your friends, or what you were doing IRL either, and I never bothered to tell you what to think. I'm just telling you I feel sorry for you if that's your experience with the people around you. As you say, you probably just met "assholes." Sorry if my post triggered you, I didn't mean it that way and I'm not trying to bait or insult you either. Yeah he's right in avoiding those assholes. |

RinArcher said: I guess I should list out that I have also met real life assholes with really disgusting habits for anime. I don't know why people like to classify others into a 1D category of "Telling you what to think" or "Being against me and everything I stand for." Or as commonly put, the 'us vs them' mentality. Guess you can't even sympathize with others without being attacked, such is life I guess. Though there is this one really funny clip of hardcore otakus in a convention attempting to mimic loli girl voices and they had it recorded and put on youtube, its really cringeworthy and funny stuff. Too bad I can't find the video now... Aww... I wanna see this video, it sounds hilarious. |

| If this forum is any indication, meeting anime fans in real life is a bad idea. |

| Ok time for my backup excuse. clubs/cons are expensive. |
fst said: Ok time for my backup excuse. clubs/cons are expensive. I'd agree but then again, college is pricy in general and I doubt I'll ever hang out with people after graduating so I'm using my extra time to meet people now. RinArcher said: I have met them, they aren't as great as you think they might be. I've met them in high school. It helps if you don't say any shit about their favourites. I'm good at lying ;D |

But for me it's more fun hanging around people who are in my program. We may or may not have surreptitiously added "hentai" as an interest on somebody's resume. |

LOL @ the resume thing All the compsci kids (in my courses) are only into video games (smash and World of Warcraft) and Legend of Korra and they're all guys, so I don't have much in common. :< It's nice talking to lifesci girls instead who like the same anime as me lol |

I got way more into Anime in grad school so I never really ran into that many people outside of a couple that watched anime. |
| No i'm not, even if there's a club in my school i'm not joining it either, well it's just a bunch of freak I say and there's no point joining it |
 |
| I'm a part of Haruhiism Indonesia since back in 2006, the club is still very active irl up until now. |
 |
| i know of no anime clubs near me and i'm literally the only person i know that watches anime. sobs. |
