It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.

About the Anime Club
The Anime Club is a weekly room in theOtaku's community chat where we meet to have fun laughing, crying, heckling, and spazzing together while watching a few episodes of anime. Rather than watching mainstream shows, however, we pick out good, yet lesser-known anime as an opportunity for people to enjoy new shows. Streaming links are usually provided for those without a copy of the anime.
Current Anime
Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens is a 14 episode comedy with bits of fantasy and romance sprinkled on top. When Mikuriya Jin (Shimono Hiro) carves a high school art project from the trunk of a sacred tree that had been cut down, he's visited by Nagi (Tomatsu Haruka), the town's resident land deity, who materializes from the wooden statue. Not only is Jin's project ruined, he now has to try and explain to his childhood friend Aoba Tsugumi (Sawashiro Miyuki) and other classmates why a girl is suddenly living with him.

The Vision of Escaflowne is a 26 episode fantasy/adventure with some mecha thrown in for good measure. It tells the story of Kanzaki Hitomi (Sakamoto Maaya), a high school girl with a talent for fortune telling who gets transported to Gaea, a world of magic currently at war. She gets caught in the struggle against the invading Zaibach empire when she meets Van Fanel (Seki Tomokazu), the young king of Fanelia.

Finally found this clip in English, and I need no reason at all to post it. IT'S MY WORLD AFTER ALL! 8D *brick'd*
(For those who may be confused, this is a clip from Family Guy's Blue Harvest Star Wars parody. The "hyperspace" here is the opening credits to Doctor Who during the years 1974 - 1979. First time I saw this, I LOLed like crazy)
Our good friend TimeChaser is celebrating a birthday today. In his honor, I found this little piece of video on YouTube:
Happy Birthday Buddy!
