Introduction Hey guys and gals ^^ Many of us are looking for specific clubs, and we thought we'd share a few of our favourite clubs in a thread! Below we describe features of each club, as well as why we personally appreciate them.
Many of these clubs we've personally been a part of, or are still concurrently a part of. I (Skies) have talked to some of these Club Creators, and 100% approve of them all as awesome peeps. Of course, if you have any questions about any of the clubs recommended, you may always DM me directly through MAL or Discord.
In addition to this, feel free to suggest clubs you appreciate in the thread below! We will be moderating this thread (just like the rest), so please don't spam the same club, and write up the reason you appreciate the club. Also, please don't recommend your own club, or get into fights in the thread >.> I've listed a layout below for how you can write out your post!
Once again, keep in mind these are just our personal take on it! If you don't see your club on the list, that would be the reason why. Thank you for reading!
To be frank... Anime Simulcast is a great club! If you want to watch anime with others, this is definitely the club to join. We've been affiliated with their community for two years now, and they have consistently put out simulcast activities on a weekly basis. They use the Rabbit website to host their simultaneous watching experiences, and have been doing so ever since we've known them! Seal is a great guy (the club creator), and will most definitely answer any questions you may have.
Besides having a great scheduling system, and weekly simultaneous watches, they also have a great community. Additional to anime simulcast, they also have normal film simulcasts! All in all (and once again), they're a great community, and they're always open to new members and additions to their community!
"Enjoy anime in all its glory with fellow fans, as we gather to view its spectacular majesty~!" - Okuri
Isekai "Do you like the isekai (another world) genre? Join Isekai!"
Isekai is a great club to talk in if you just wanna splurge on the recent isekai you've watched or read about! As Isekai has grown (at present, there are more than 528 isekai), I've grown a fondness for the genre. I've personally always enjoyed fantasy, and having people from our world or what I'd consider "our world" go on these fantastical journeys is just superb and fun. Call me generic, but it's definitely one of my favourite genres XD Not only can you talk about isekai in this club, but you can also participate in the typical MAL activities, so if you want a spice of the MAL experience alongside (maybe) one of your favourite genres, think of joining!
Also, even if you don't know, don't enjoy/are not a fan of isekai, it's still a great community to check out. The leader Torpedo-san (as I remember him as) is a great guy, and in the past has welcomed all of the newbies of MAL. Just a great guy all in all!
""Wanna get Isekaied? Wanna join our Isekai Projects? Join the Isekai Club." - Torpedo/Senko/Tempest (all the same dude XD)
Raspberry's Wonderland Express "Want a sparkly, fluffy, and overall explosive club! Join Raspberry's Wonderland Express!"
Raspberry's Wonderland Express is a great community, and club. An exemplary of the standard MAL club. Cards, forum threads, cards, cuteness, cards, anime, and more! Joining their Discord will give you access to their wonderful community, as well as communication to their wonderful Club Creator (goes by SweetKichigo... It may change in the future, heh). As a newbie, you may be wondering: "What are cards?" Well, they are a thing that many MAL communities pride themselves over, and many members love collecting! All in all, they're basically a mini-activity that most (even our club) participates in, where Graphic Designers make cards that people can collect from editions!
R.W.E. (shortened!) has many cards to offer, and they're all made by superb card makers. All in all, if you want a true MAL experience... Be sure to join them!
"Expect every week to be filled with cuteness!" - SweetKichigo
Ahhh... Shishio's Club (shortened). One of my favourite clubs here on MAL! Even though I don't think I've ever had the chance to talk to the club creator, the club's threads and overall size talks for itself. If you ever have questions about CSS, or a question about how so-and-so got their profile all fancy, you can most likely find the answer on the wide variety of threads they have to offer.
I've personally used Shishio's club time and time again to figure out or look at code for both my own layout as well as how to make cards (yes, that's another thing). Anyways! Join the club. You won't regret it one bit. Especially if you're like me, and code looks like a lot of gibberish to you XD
The Friends Club "For those who are looking for a tight-knit group of friends!"
The Friends Club is as close as it can get to its name! The purpose of the club is as you'd expect. It allows its members to find friends! You may be thinking: "Well, Skies... That's a bit vague..." Ehhh... I suppose it is a bit vague >.> Well, lemme explain. The community brings its members together with Art Contests, Game Nights, Movie Nights, and much more. With these activities—that involve their members in fun activities that allow one another to connect—bonds are formed.
The Club Creator, Rin, is also always willing to help out his community's members. Whether this be questions public or private, or about MAL or his community. He's just like a real *friend* (cringe). Anywho... Be sure to check out their club!
"Weebs can make friends too! ;)" - Rin

What's your favourite harem anime, and what do you enjoy most about it? ^^
Right now my favorite harem anime is We Never Learn: Bokuben and what I like about this anime is that Nariyuki is a likeable MC that would go out of his way to help the girls study in subjects that they are weak in. This anime has a perfect combination of romance and slapstick comedy whenever the MC interacts with the girls. There are no bad girls in Nariyuki's harem so any girl has a chance to become best girl based on one's personal preference. Me personally I like Mafuyu-sensei and Asumi-senpai.
I'm glad this anime is getting a second season coming this fall.
