Anime Club - Minami-ke ep10-13

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 currently watching Minami-ke, a thirteen episode comedy/slice of life series. It features weird dialogue- and slapstick-based humor that fans of shows such as Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, or Ouran High School Host Club should enjoy.

When are the next episodes?
We will be watching Minami-ke episodes 10 - 13 on Saturday, September 20, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time (7:00 PM Pacific). The chat room will open about a half hour early, around 9:30 PM Eastern. Given four episode at twenty-four minutes each, they'll last about an hour and forty minutes. I hope to see you there!

The password for the chat room will be: hamguy

What anime is next?
Good question! If you have any suggestions for what we should watch next, leave a comment. Some current ideas are Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!, Hidamari Sketch, Tales of Symphonia, and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. We'll most likely decide during the chat this Saturday so be sure to drop in and let us know what you'd like to see.

Anime Club - Minami-ke ep1-3

Meet your fellow otaku and enjoy some anime at the weekly Anime Club meetings in the Community Chat.

What's the Anime Club?
Similar to, but totally not ripped off from, the Movie Sign watch-and-chats that TimeChaser, Katana, and Shinmaru have been doing, each week we'll watch a few episodes of anime while chatting about them and whatever else we feel like. The episodes will most likely be available on streaming sites since we're mainly going to stick to unlicensed series. I hope this 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?
The first series we'll be watching is Minami-ke, a thirteen-episode comedy/slice of life series. It features weird dialogue- and slapstick-based humor that fans of shows such as Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, or Ouran High School Host Club should enjoy.

When are the next episodes?
We will be watching Minami-ke episodes 1 - 3 on Saturday, August 30, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time (7:00 PM Pacific). The chat room will open about a half hour early, around 9:30 PM Eastern. Given three episode at twenty-four minutes each, they'll last about an hour and fifteen minutes. I hope to see you there!
