/a/ - Animu & Mango

Enjoy dealing with niwaka cattle.

This venture can only end in tears. Go for it and report back.

>>917916

I dunno dude, I live in a small city (~90,000 residents,) there have to be some worthwhile people here. The questions is just how to attract them and not make it a cringe fest with the types you're describing.

>>917908

>I want to start start an anime club in my town

You say you do but you actually don't.

>>917919

Life is made up of experiences. I can watch all the anime I want by myself, and I do. But those days pass quietly and blur together. I don't remember them. I have an opportunity to do something interesting, and maybe it'll be fun, maybe it'll be cringy, who knows. But it will be memorable.

>>917916

I could probably attract a specific demographic depending on what I advertised. For example, Kill la Kill would attract a very different audience than Totoro.

My life is made up of experiences watching anime while I stay inside all day.

Well, passing out flyers and invitations randomly will land you those types of unwashed masses. Look at the posts in this thread, the average anon doesn't go outside and resigns himself to being alone forever. I'm not one of them so I'll give you my suggestions.

The first thing you want to do is find one, single person. You can do the theater showing for the unwashed masses just as a circle activity, but do not consider it your actual club. It is a way to maybe find comrades within the filth. (By the way, I suggest watching sophisticated anime the masses don't particularly enjoy like Royal Space Force instead of normalfag bait like FLCL)

Using whatever method that appeals to you, find one comrade and the actual club can meet at a coffee shop or someone's house once a week or something. Keep doing your theater show or whatever, find other club activities, go to cons, etc. and build a network of club members slowly, slowly, so you don't end up with shitty people.

>>917928

Kill La Kill is still normalfag bait. It's like you want to be overrun with shit.

>>917936

I'm a normalfag. Kill la Kill is fantastic.

>>917934

Thanks for the advice.

I know this was my idea, but I still need suggestions for activities. What are somethings we could do that aren't just watching anime at someone's house?

>>917938

>I'm a normalfag who wants to start an anime club

Fuck off from /a/ then. MAL is more your speed.

>>917938

I'm not criticising your taste by saying it's normalfag bait. You don't seem to understand. A good type of anime fan will not go to a Kill La Kill showing even if they like the anime. They know that it will fill the room with the most foul type of fans, so you're not meeting any comrades through it. Play Royal Space Force, the Gundam Movies, Do You Remember Love, 999 Movie, Interstella, ANYTHING but FLCL and Kill La Kill.

It's going to ruin your chances of that's what you'll play.

>>917944

I get what you're saying, but I live in a small midwest city with a lot of cowboy culture and not much else. I'm afraid if I go for something too obscure no one's going to show up.

If I lived in a big city where there were lots of different sub-groups of anime fans to appeal to, I'd want to be more selective, but here I don't have that luxury.

>>917949

If you're not going to take any advice, why'd you make this thread? This is pointless.

>>917970

Because like all normalfags, he requires the approval and attention of other people.

This is a very recent experience.

The town I live in has around 70k residents. This facebook page of a communitary institution with almost 10k likes announced screening of 3 Miyazaki movies on 3 different days for free. It is certain hundreds of people saw the publication. I could only go on the last two sessions. There was only me, some other girl and an older woman with her child. And in the other night there were these 4 high schoolers and the same woman and her child.

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

But I would also like to remind everyone of some other "anime club" thread we had that had some anons telling positive experiences.

>>917999

The post you replied to wasn't the OP.

>>917999

I’m just getting ideas. I don’t have to take every piece of advice you throw at me. That being said, thanks for the suggestions.

>>917908

I would go to something like that but honestly unless you know your own has a sizeable weeb population already it's literally fucking pointless

Put a giant sign that says "no women and trannies allowed" before anything else, then rape the first woman that shows up to complain and shoot yourself in the head right after you ejaculate.

>>918140

This is why you need to find a printer and put some non-lewd rustle on a shirt. It drives those sorts insane, any sort of smug or fanservice does the trick though.

>>918140

>The only good trend is dubfags seem to be on a decline for whatever reason.

I think it's a combination of several factors:

>People mostly watch online, instead of TV, so they won't see stuff like Toonami dubbed anime

>Not all anime have a dub, and when it does, it usually comes a year or more, after it was released in Japan, so people who are impatient or who want to be with the cool guys, watch it subbed

>There are people from non-English speaking countries that sub all the Hollywood movies like mine so reading subtitles is second nature

>>918143

>>918140

It's not that Dubfags are on the decline, it's that you've gone further into degeneracy and no longer talk to the kinds of people who would be Dubfags, and people who are not Dubfags are now more open, trust me, if anything Dubfags are more prevalent than ever before thanks to sites like Netflix bringing Anime to the masses

>>917971

I'm posting because this thread is shit and I want to spite you and the others like you.

>>918396

They should allow the nudity, it's part of our DNA as anime fans to enjoy doujins and the like. Have they never read Genshiken? Don't answer that.

And how would you get a license for something like Relic Armor Legaciam? This is retarded. Stuff like this is why you make a rival club.

>>918177

>absolute_patrician_walks_the_streets.jpg

>>918398

The first rule is required to be on the books by university policy in most cases since the university could get sued if they don't have it and most universities distribute an allowance to officiated clubs.

>>918419

Couldn't you consistently break it unofficially?

>>917908

>1. How to get started

Get your weeb friends together and create it

>2. Activities we could do

Meet up like in oreimo? (I don't really know.)

>3. Is this even a good idea?

If you don't have weeb friends then probably no.

>Would you go to a twice monthly weeb meetup if there was one in your town? What kind of stuff would make you want to go?

I wouldn't go unless i get to buy weeb stuff there (like a convention, which it probably wont be).

>>917949

>I'm afraid if I go for something too obscure no one's going to show up.

If the people you want to meet come to you because you advertised a normalfag bait then why would you want to meet them? Are YOU a normalfag? If so them don't come here for advice.

>>918423

If the teacher aren't checking it, or if the ones checking it are the members of the club then surely they wouldn't give two fucks about where they obtained the latest episode of Boruto from.

>>918179

Most of the shitty casuals I know watch anime on CR, so I don't see many dubfags, either. Anyone I know talking about watching "anime" on netflix is usually talking about the animated Castlevania series, which normalfags seems to insist is anime despite the fact it's made by a streetshitter.

>>917910

public viewing is illegal!

>>918396

>desu

For what reason.

>fat disgusting fucks

You mean ω? Do ω even count as normalfags? Most normals would consider them repulsive, and I would even argue there are plenty of normalfags even on this very board.

>>918753

To be fair, it's in uni.

>>918932

Oh God. Why must you bring the embarrassment of my academic institution here.

>>918942

It's your fault for not training killing them while you had the chance.

>>918944

I don't think I'd even want to be in contact with them

>>918932

Nice read, but it's mostly about the importance of having an administrative center in one location and the rise of subsidiary local offices. What exactly in that section are you referring to?

>>918945

Have fun being reminded of how ""that"" is your university's anime club. It's your failure.

Was there even any alternatives?

>>918946

The idea is that OP needs to have a core following that can support his club. Inviting every mouthbreather would spell certain doom, even if there are people in that group who would be good /a/nons.

But OP is a fag and his adherents would be too.

Anime clubs are doomed to fail because they almost never attract well adjusted people not normalfags, mind you, just people with some common decency.

I remember the anime club at my high school and it turned me off the idea of ever going out of my way to meet other anime fans. Here's a shitty story.

>After school one day, talking with long time friend.

>He was a fat black guy who had great taste in anime, manga, and video games.

>We were on our way home when he remembered that he forgot something in the Anime Club.

>The clubroom was one of the portable classrooms on the far side of campus

>I thought I would pop in with him to see what it was about, my older brother ran the club when he was in high school.

>I never bothered with it because I already had a nerdy reputation and didn't need that anchor of autism in my life

>He opens the door and walks in, I go to follow

>I can't

If you've ever been walking around and smelled rotten garbage/untreated sewage, this classroom smelled like that, only far, far worse.

>The rank, putrid odor of 30 sweaty nerds and unhygenic fujoshi hit me like a brick wall

>I tried to be polite and grit and bear it but I couldn't get past the door without gagging and heaving

>I told my friend that I wasn't feeling too hot and needed some fresh air

>Thankfully he didn't make a big deal out of it

Before I left that rancid sauna of a club, I caught a glimpse of the club advisor. He had the most disappointed expresson I've ever seen on a teacher's face before. That was his life, every Wednesday and Friday after school.

I later asked my brother how he could put up with the anime club and his response was simple: you had to keep clean to keep your memebership. He then told me that he and his friends would routinely kick smelly weebs out of the clubroom until they took a shower

>>918953

This is a good point. If you have a community of quality members oldfags to start with and a slow trickle of new members newfags, the new members are more likely to learn from the others and adapt lurking.

>>918954

The teacher in charge of my High School anime club was just as sad. He just wanted to show them oldfag stuff, but nobody cared and all the fujo just wouldn't stop hitting on everyone and talking about gay shit.

>>918947

No. The student body is very small and most of them are environmental science or wildlife chads

>>917908

Funniest thread in a long time. Also, it reminds me of when I was 10 and founded clubs for just about everything (and bullied those who didn't join).
