Introduction Hi MAL users! Welcome to my profile. Before coming to MAL, and to Canada, I had lived in Hong Kong. While I lived there, anime influence on culture could be seen everywhere. In fact, when I had left, the "Umbrella" Movement had used Totoro as one of their character mascots. I have an original poster from the movement in my bedroom and I soon realized who and where the character was from. Before I had come on MAL, I had watched Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, Digimon, etcetera. And, when I was younger, I was a really big fan of the Transformers series without knowing they had been anime.

When it comes to MAL, I began my journey on February 17th, 2016 when I was recommended the site. I came in expecting MAL to be a streaming site, but I was mistaken. This, too, happened to be the date when my love for anime began, as I became enraptured by anime through Another. Watching it dissolved my misconception that anime was just for children. I ended up watching Hyouka, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Toradora! and much more afterward.

It was Hyouka that led to my investigation of what the MAL forums were like, and soon I came onto the "clubs" section of MAL. I was interested in seeing if there were any Classic Literary Club reiterations, but to my disappointment, they were all extremely inactive. Upon completing Gosick, the first anime I had completed in March, I had the sudden urge to create a club. This came in the form of The Newbie Club. At that point, I had no clue what I was getting into, but I was able to expand and build upon it through the support of others in the community.

Club If you're in my club (The Newbie Club), I no longer run the club anymore! Don't worry, though, the club is still running :) I personally began this club as I felt it was important that new members of both MAL and anime have a place to confide in and connect. I remember first entering the medium and was so confused with all the varying terminology and wide selection of anime. I hope the club is able to help you in those areas!

We're always looking for new staff and supporters for the club, so please feel free to check out our staff recruitment thread. We're often running low on staff, so feel free to DM if you're curious. We can also go through the rundown of what is expected from such-and-such position, as well as the trial process of being accepted into our staff. You may call it shameless advertising, and it is... But! Hey. Support is always greatly appreciated.

Conclusion For those of you have read this far, congratulations! I'm surprised you've read the entire thing (or maybe you just skipped to the end). I wonder how many people have read my entire description, because it is a long one. If you are one of them, please feel free to write a message in my comment section that you've done so. Thank you again, and have a good day!
