Today, I'm gonna do something stupid: Today, I'm gonna pay my once-a-semester visit to my university's Anime Club.

Let's see how it goes!

O boi

Surprisingly, it was little to write home about! There were less than half a dozen guys there, all in ill-fitting clothes, and bearing the characteristic sheen of someone who hasn't bathed in days. The theme was "Black History Month", so we all came up with and voted on shows that had anything to do with "black", be it in the title or otherwise. Me, I suggested Afro Samurai and Darker than Black; threw in The Boondocks as a joke, but they thought I was serious...

Anyhoo, there wasn't anyone I knew there, and I really didn't wanna watch Black Lagoon. Eventually I decided to make like a tree and gtfo.

Literally was going to post the exact same thing when I saw this title, bastard.

Well I did know this one guy, when I met him he had really short hair, his hygeine was on point and he liked a bit of anime. I think a few months later I saw him again and he had really long greasy ass hair, he got a bit chubbier and he said he's watched a lot of anime. I don't think he's necessarily a weeaboo but it's kind of hard to think something differently when you ignore your own hygiene and health to watch more anime.

At one point, this was actually me. I didn't want to admit it but I wasn't in the best state at the time. Luckily since then I've cleaned up a lot and I'm actually proud of myself for that.

Good job! :3 You should be proud of yourself, definitely.

Yeah I mean I was never at that point but a few years back the only thing I really did was watch anime and research Japanese culture. It was an escape from reality for me, but now I just consider it a hobby, anime isn't as much of an escape is it used to be for me.

Sa, one of the kids I mentor is seriously considering bringing his body pillow on a school trip. Having nearly taken mine to college, I consider it my duty to casually dissuade him.

Then again, we tend to have semi-weekly discussions on waifus and whether traps are gay, so perhaps I'm at fault here as well. ^^'

Right now, the dude's fancying Emilia from Re:Zero. Given the impressive amount of thought he's given to his arguments, I'm surprised it ain't Felix. :p

Most of the guys on the team regard him as a joke, though he's got a couple friends due to his leadership position. Me, I personally think he's one of the coolest kids I've ever met. The guy might be an ultra-weeb, but he's super-earnest about it, which give people no choice but to accept him for who he is.

I told him straight-up, he reminds me a lot of myself at that age; right down to the lewd wallpapers on his phone. Between teaching programming and alluding to anti-capitalist rhetoric, I daresay my interactions with him are the highlight of my time there. c:

Right now? Oh my, how disloyal~ Good for him though! I don't know how old he is, but there's no way I would've been so honest with myself in secondary school - always just trying to fit in.

Not that many in my school life with a respectable balance of 2D and 3D, and all of them were my old friends. They only know a few from time to time, so it was not a big deal.

Some part of me wishes I were a highschool teacher, simply so I could run the Anime Club and observe the local wildlife. The one I was part of myself was a sordid den of backstabbing, cheating, and relationship drama that gave School Days a run for its money, and I'm embarrassed to admit I got caught up in all 'a that. I'm hopin' the kids I looked after would be a bit more benign with their tactlessness.
