I'd join one but I'm relatively confident someone, at some point, would mention Naruto and I'd flip

I seriously cannot stand Naruto


Here here


I nearly rammed a scalpel through my mate's hand whilst we were dissecting sheep hearts after he started going on for the umpteenth time about how great Naruto is.

I took that as a sign I don't mix very well with fanboys/fangirls.

Unfortunately every club involving entertainment media has at least one
So I steer well clear


What the hell man....Naruto is actually really good, you just have to give it a chance, I had the same attitude as you before I watched it, and now I'm completely hooked, can't get enough of that shit.


I haven't the patience to watch it.
I like my anime short, sharp and snappy.

Asides from Yugioh and Pokemon, two shows that practically defined my childhood


Well yeah, it's shit actually, dropped after the first 30 eps, but man...I was expecting a heated discussion to break out, ah so much for hoping to get rid of my boredom.

Clubs in denmark are... well... non-existing... in schools. Schools are for studying only...

But there's a "club/group/organisation" in the city i live in... some of the members are dorks, yea. But they tend to have more friend-potential than other people...

Have Naruto listed in your favorites as a 10/10 while also expressing how much you love it in other areas of the forum. A reaction is almost guaranteed.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

He's probably talking about people who obsess over anime so much that they change their appearance according to what their fav characters wear n stuff... I know a few people like that, and they're actually normal, atleast I percieve them to be normal, and I actually kinda admire how they have the courage to dress like that and not care about anything but the things they like doing. Respect yo.

Yep, was in my high school's anime club all four years, was president of it my senior year. We watched all types of anime from Death Note to Fruits Basket to Genshiken to whatever the Presidents felt like. We also had gaming tenements, especially Super Smash Bros Melee, and then on holidays/the end of the year we had pizza parties. There was also a manga library we could rent from that ones this one guy's massive manga collection he kept in the club room.

The reason I liked it most was that all my friends were in it too so it was a place we could hang out at on Tuesdays.

I went to the one at my college. It was cool for a while when we had a good staff who tried to find unlicensed and obscure new stuff for us to watch. I got to see a whole bunch of stuff I never would have watched otherwise. Then they graduated and and it got taken over by people who didn't much about anime and wanted to watch old stuff I've seen a billion times already, so I stopped going.

Contrary to what most people have been saying, my college's club was filled with a much of normal non-otaku-looking people of both sexes and was pretty cool because they gave us a nice lecture hall with theater style seating a huge screen and projector you could play any type of multimedia on.

The one in our school is weird as fuck. The all wear raccoon tails and for some reason they are obsessed with cats.

When I asked them wtf raccoon tails had to do with anime, I was told they were tanuki tails.

No chance of joining that weird-ass club, unless some of my friends join with me.


congrats your the first post to make me laugh since I joined.

I haven't met anyone who watches anime IRL. Well, there's a Narutard kid walking around with headbands, he bought himself Sharingan contact lenses from somewhere, and says "Dattebayo" all the time, even though he isn't speaking Japanese (Needless to say that is all he watches). Oh, and who can forget the 2 ugly cosplaying twins that sit together and read manga all day.

So, yeah, me meeting any anime fan who isn't a freak is nothing but a pipe dream.

At my school (Name of school withheld) years ago, I went to a few meetings in the beginning of the year. Some the anime they showed was WAY different than how I grew up with it. Never got connected to it, and left the club. Wasn't that great. Do I regret? Nope.

Was never in a club nor do I think we had one at our school. I do remember that there was a group of kids that always hung out in the Senior Quad and ironically no other seniors stayed there when they were there. They were loud and boisterous, always jumping off shit, chasing each other, poking each other, and making faces at each other. They also adopted anime mannerisms (if you understand what I mean) and would semi-cosplay (Naruto headbands, random sleeves, fingerless gloves, etc.) everday. I guess they are one reson why I avoided anime in high school.

Also remember this one girl who had a Sasuke (from Naruto) hairstyle and always wore a blue sweatshirt
that was in my class. She didn't hang out with that group and was actually pretty chill. Now that I think back she looked frighteningly similar to Sasuke.

Anyways that's my "story" about anime clubs/people in high school.

Also yeah I was in an anime club my Junior or Senior year in high school. We just watched Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service and stuff like that though. Which was fine with me though. Nobody was obsessed with anime in the club though and weren't cancerous so it was alright.

Anime club sounds good, be glad it wasn't called "Otaku Club" by your lesbian goth feminist classmate with purple hair. Trauma aside Always worth taking a chance or two. I mean even though I didn't join the otaku club in high school, I'll admit that the two meetings I did go to were a fountain of knowledge for anime and most people there got along.

It definitely depends on the people, but it can be a very fun place to go to! You may end up meeting some really cool individuals who share something in common with you. I recommend at least checking it out once.
