What is the Watercooler?
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.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

Now the Best Song Ever
^_^
I just stumbled on this totally epically awesome Gurren Lagann AMV, and just knew I had to post it here to fan the otaku flames. The song is a shortened version of "Pilot in the Sky of Dreams" by Threshold. Only an AMV using one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands can make me feel stupid not for finishing GL when it was on TV.
Footage is taken from across the entire series, so if you haven't seen the whole thing, be forewarned of spoilers.
I havent spammed you good people over here in quite a while. Today, I bring you Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.

Meet your fellow otaku and enjoy some anime at the weekly Anime Club meetings in the Community Chat.
What's the Anime Club?
The Anime Club is a weekly chat 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. The anime will most likely be available on streaming sites since we're mainly going to stick to unlicensed shows. I hope the Anime Club will be a good opportunity for people to find new series and genres that they enjoy, and for series to gather support for if/when they're licensed.
What are you watching?
We're trying a new format where we'll watch episodes from two different shows each night. I hope people will stick around for both, but if one of the series just isn't your thing, feel free to only drop in for the other.
The first show is Library War, a 12 episode action/comedy series. So far it seems similar to Full Metal Panic! but with less mecha and more books. Click here to watch its opening.
The second show is Spice and Wolf, a 13 episode fantasy/drama series. It's somewhat slow-paced and doesn't have much action, instead focusing on the characters' interweaving relationships and ways of getting by in life. Click here to watch its opening.
When are the next episodes?
We will be watching Library War ep3-4 / Spice and Wolf ep3-4 on Saturday, November 29, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time (7:00 PM Pacific). The chat room will open a half hour early, around 9:30 PM Eastern, and the episodes will last about an hour and forty minutes altogether. We hope to see you there!
The password for the chat room will be: scentedmartens
