Glad to hear it War. I need to message some of the others from yesterdays thread to let them know we are starting.

If anything organize who is going to be in for this, and then just give everyone a shoutout in the later threads. We all get notified if we are mentioned in a post.

The problem is it's hard to tell who is participating or not, because I have people sharing the post, I have people dotting the post, and I have people commenting. Ideally, I wanted everyone who is going to watch it with us to say something, but it's not the case. It's a wait and see until the 24th.

Well, yea that's why I said for later threads. If anything this will mostly serve as a test of sorts. When the 24th comes around, and people participate you make the list of people from that. From then on just shout-out those people. If anyone wants to join the shout-out list they can ask in the thread.

Got the idea from the movieclub for the shout-out thing btw.

It seems simple and effective. We will have to try it. I can't wait for the 24th now, it's going to be a quiet 2 weeks in #animeclub haha

It should be pretty cool. It will definitely be awesome to actually have a conversation about an anime for once. I did not find r/anime to be very inviting to have long conversation even on the topic their sub is based off of.

No, they weren't very inclusive and seemed to skip over anyone who hadn't seen 300+ series. I wanted to discuss Monster after I had just watched it, and the best response I could get was, 'I didn't like the ending." I told that person why I did and he didn't bother to message back. Maybe i'm just being whiny, but I thought that talking about anime was WHY WE ARE HERE. I guess not. It's a place to sell merch, lol
