Yikes, yea that sounds like my one afternoon's experience with my school's anime club. Good job on recognizing the need to bail out.

the anime club at my college i went to a few times with friends wasn't that bad, they spent more time playing/trading pokemon though
I have no clue. I'm not walking 20 minutes each way to go to a club where we can't talk during the shows lightly, it serves no purpose. It's like they missed the whole point of group watches? We aren't in a movie theatre.
I mean, they eat out afterwards sometimes they said, doesn't exactly make me feel any stronger need to hang out with these people...
Same. I'll become a shut in before I become friends with the majority of that club.
Nope, banned, was like the first thing they said.
I just don't love talking to people solely about anime for hours on end. I want to get to know you (whomever I'm discussing anime with) as a person too.

Which is why I left my schools anime club after a day
I don't really want the money though :/ I don't need it at the moment. Maybe for something to do...I...guess?
No discussion?
No seriously, how do people enjoy going to said events?

That sucks about anime club, man. Ive always wanted to do something like anime clubs irl but Ive found that doing things online is much more fun. No having to go anywhere for meetings and you can always leave if you dont like what's airing. Also y'all are just the right level of nerdy for me. No elitist otakus in here.

You're supposed to stand there in a prayer circle and just let the anime wash over you.

Anime club was a mistake, nothing but trash etc
Yea, if this was a college anime club it would be the college best anime club.
If you already have an idea of what you want to do then try and grab an internship.

I'll say this about the whole no talking thing
I love the discussion and live feed back during Toonami with Toonami GAF, it's a highlight of my week.
Watching new anime IRL with a small group like 3-6 can be decent with some minor talking during the slower scenes or light riffing
Watching new anime with a large group of 20-30 people with talking could turn into a cluster fuck especially for a dubbed series where half the time you wouldn't be able to hear over the sound of people commentating/riffing. We already have issues in Toonami GAF of people missing plot details due to the nature of reading/posting comments during shows imagine that if all of us were talking the whole time? GG

I've only watched anime with another person 3 times in my life
1. In 7th grade my friend Stephen came over after school to work on a project and we ended up watching Zoids/G Gundam
2. My senior year in college my buddy came over to my house and we watched DBZ clips on a Sunday afternoon while drinking leftover beer from a party we had the night before
3. When I was 10 or 11 I got my dad to watch an episode of DBZ with me but he rage quit after seeing Mr. Popo because he thought it was racist

Me and one of my friends ran an anime club back in high school. We ran it the complete opposite of what Soul described in his experience though. Much riffing, laughter and good atmosphere was had (though things were a bit more contemplative/quiet when we showed more somber stuff). Also helped we all had a good grasp of hygiene and were all relatively well-adjusted individuals.
Perhaps one of the funniest memories was when one of the faculty made us promise we would never show Hentai (as if we were stupid enough to do that anyway) LOL

They probably had that problem before :lol

I remember tonight's episode of Akame Ga Kill being almost kinda good tonight.
It's a show that's still gonna cause neurons to commit Seppuku when you watch it, but that comes with the territory.

I've watched anime with people lots of times, heck just last month I was watching Sailor Moon R dubbed with my sisters when I was watching them on my vacation. My friends in college would get together to hang out and watch anime all the time, it makes me sad that we're so far away and the only time we get to "watch together" is during Toonami when we text.
I'm honestly going to buy it and download the digital version. Maybe gift the physical copy of the game to someone. I've only done this a few other times for really great collector's editions.
I hope the USB is a decent size because it looks sick.

Yeah the artbook and USB CD thing look sick, I dunno if they're worth the extra cost though. TBH I'm part of the problem where I generally only get LE or pre-order/day 1 stuff if there is exclusive content I can only get by doing so :X

Aren't we supposed to get a different show today for the Toonami marathon?
Clearly Toonami is destined to rerun AoT forever

Nobody cares what Tenten thinks.
Tenten, easily, EASILY, gets the most boring ending out of all the Naruto characters. She's stuck in a failing business with no one to love her.
And it's good.

Well, actually I'm wrong. Tenten doesn't get the most boring ending out of the Naruto characters.
She at least has a boring business.
Sakura gets NOTHING.
Just what Sakura deserves.

The Boruto movie strongly hints that Metal Lee is the son of Rock Lee and Ten Ten. All the other ninja are paired up with their spouses and kids.... and TenTen is paired up with Rock Lee and Metal Lee.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is sold out on Amazon. Pretty sure Gamestop will have a ton.
Twenty is my favorite side character. Yes, she is more or less basically ignored in the manga. Yes, most of her non-canon episodes are not good. Yes, she sucks in the GNT games she features in. Don't care, Twenty is the best.
