Hello everyone~

I've been an anime fan for almost nine years now, and it's unfortunate that I don't have much time lately to watch as much as I'd like. Between life and a job... there is not much space left for anime ;__ ;

Proudly South African, though I currently live and work in South Korea (and with their amazing internet speeds, I can download lots of lovely high-quality anime!)

I was also a former vice-chairman for Genshiken.UCT, an anime society based at UCT.

Hi Hi everyone!
Seeing that life has finally slowed down for the holidays, I've spare time to get back into anime and manga. I currently attend a college in JHB, which has no anime society club there, and looking for some good satirical comedy manga. If anyone knows of anything good drop me a msg I'd really appreciate it! And being Proudly SA goes without saying :D

Hey guys I joined MAL yesterday. It's really good to see fellow South Africans coming together here and I would love to join. Oh and i'm from Durban. Not many fans down here but nevertheless it's good to be an anime fan. I've only been one for 2 years now but I'm loving it. Lets keep on building up this club.

Hey everyone.

A Capetonian here. I'd have made this club if there hadn't been one already! Glad to know I don't have to start from scratch.

Looking forward to this!

P.S. Zaelkrie, advertising for other sites is not allowed on here. Be careful.

Hi, I'm DvorakUser

I update my MAL list very slowly, but I've watched much, much more anime than there is on my list.

I study in Potchefstroom. I am the main archive of anime on campus, and am known there as Jessica (I'm a guy, so many lols ensue when people meet me).

Also, I've been trying to write an MAL updater, just like MALupdater by katori for about a year now. However, the MAL API gives me headaches, so anyone willing to help in this regard, please feel free to contact me!

Hello AnimeLovers! Lesa_chan here!

I'm currently studying in Cape Town. My anime journey began when I was seven years old, when I watched the SciFi channel on the old Dstv bouquet. And here I am 15years later, still in love. Glad to know there are others like me who appreciate this media/art form.

Hey all.

Had been a member on MAL for awhile, but had never searched for a SA group, until last year I think and was somewhat surprised to find one(just goes to show what the limited SA-based anime community makes you think :P), but sadly wasn't so surprised to see it was no longer very active :(. BUT it's good to see that this group is becoming active again :).

Anyways, I'm originally from Pietermaritzburg in KZN, but now(and have been for awhile) living in Grahamstown in the EC. I'm currently studying at Rhodes University, and between studying, my part-time job and life in general, it really kills my time to watch anime...but as any true anime lover would do, I somehow make time for it, even if that means finding myself still awake at some random hour in the morning. My only bad habit as an anime fan is that I've never dropped a anime so far, and don't think I ever will...I always finish them, no matter what, I just might put them on-hold for awhile.

As for my anime list, it hasn't been updated in awhile, so it doesn't reflect all that I have watched and am watching. But will start updating it again, seen as I plan to be more active here again.

Konichiwa Minna-san.

Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu. I'm down in the mother city. I've been a fan of anime for about 5years but recently realised that I've been a fan much longer, with Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya) on SABC1 earlier 2000's, and dragonballZ, pokemon and yugioh on SABC2. Not forgetting Medabots and hamtaro.

Fav anime: Steins;Gate, Code Geass and High School of the Dead

I'm an avid viewer, always up to date with whatever I'm watching, though it's hard to get complete seasons of old anime on the net, and with slow internet here in SA

Does anyone know of anime shops and conventions happening in CPT?

Anyways thanks for the invite

Another somone from CT! :) I don't think anime conventions exist in SA... I do know there are supposed to be shops, but I think they're all online.

This strikes as particularly odd when you think about it, because Cape Town is way more weird/alternative/kooky than is Joburg... or any other place in SA, really.

Hello everyone, thanks for the invite.

I'll start by saying that I never actually update my list on this site. :P

I like anime a little bit. Just a little.
Like just enough to watch almost every series every season.
And sing along to virtually any anime OP or ED
And having learned Japanese just to watch stuff raw
And even being a fansubber for a few years.

... just a little.

I work part time and study part time and game part time at the moment. I work part time for a couple of Japanese companies including Good Smile Company, Kadokawa and Starchild - mostly with translations. I am also studying Linguistics at UNISA part time. Game-wise I'm currently a League of Legends player and looking forward to GW2

Anime I'm currently enjoying the most are probably Sankarea, Fate/Zero S2 and Eureka Seven AO.

Hi everyone! I was also somehow found by TrgrHappy after having not used this account since I signed up :P

Mainly I use my account at http://www.anime-planet.com/users/bluepalm/ just to roughly keep track of what I'm watching and what I've watched.

To put it bluntly, I try to have any anime I can get my hands on :P and to a certain extent I have succeeded :) ..now I'm forced to permanently download on my 384 to satisfy my needs (I can't wait for the line upgrades).

I am also a gamer...mostly Dota and HoN. I can't wait to get my hands on Diablo 3 or Dota2

(If anyone has a Dota2 beta key they are willing to part with I'd be eternally grateful :P)

Anime I am currently enjoying includes Aquarion Evol, the newly reignited Kenichi OVA, the second season of Eureka Seven as well as anything related to the Macross franchise.

Hi everyone, glad to see this place has finally gotten some new life.

You can just call me Mith if you like. I'm from Pretoria originally and I've been watching anime for about a decade (not counting DBZ, Pokemon and so forth).

My love for anime and Japanese culture in general has driven me away from sunny South Africa for the moment however, and I live and work in Japan right now.

See you around.

Hello all follow animeniacs;)

Im fairly new to the site but taken a liking to it .I've been watching anime for about 10 years , as well gaming, watching TV, series ,movies .Lately though I’ve given up on gaming as anime is better than the gamer coming out now.
Think ill cut out gaming now and focus on anime more .
Also maybe get round to the anime i had stared writing.

Evening all, I used to be a member here once but it was dead in those days so I left, but I am glad to see there is life once again. I am of the "older generation" although a relative newcomer to anime and manga, really coming from a comic and animated movie genre. I live out on the west rand of JHB, a veritable anime desert, and do my own thing because I know how that anime will never really be big here. I used to collect figurines at one point but having been retrenched recently my collecting days are over. Now I seem to watch a lot of re-runs.

Have fun, and as they say in the classics:

I've been on MAL for a few months now - initially thought I'll just use it for some anime 'logging' and the whole recommendations system, but I guess a little socializin'/networkin' won't hurt. Anyhow, yeah, seriously passive Evangelion otaku, but I'll pretty much watch & enjoy anything. So, eh, yeah, add me if you feel like chattin' about anime or just some crap in general.

Anime banzai!!

PS. I'm currently in Malaysia, but visit SA about once a year.

hi there. i am nadia. i have been a fan of anime for about 11 years now. my husband is also a fan of anime.

i would like to make friends with other anime fans. i went to an anime party in 2004 wich was quite interesting. the main party room was decorated with anime and manga banners and a tv and dvd player was set up. we had japanese food and drinks. while the girls sat in the main room chatting about anime and watching anime the guys were all in the next room exchanging anime and movies aswell as series. i must say that i had a good time but i never heard of any new upcoming anime parties since then.

i would like to go to or host something simolar in or near my town.

ofcourse id like to chat about anime too and thats why i joined, the first anime i ever watched without realising it was anime was pokemon. haha
