However, a recently joined my friend's anime club and now have a whole new group of friends that i get along really well with and we all have a lot in common. It's great! Now if I could just find a girlfriend, I'd be all set. ^_~ I wish I new of an anime club around here. That would awesome and a great place to meet people with similar interests :) I agree. I don't have any friends that share my interest in anime and manga anymore. There are no anime clubs in my area. It's most likely why I participate in these discussions, even with my dislike of most social media.

That would awesome and a great place to meet people with similar interests :) In the meantime, at least you can find some interesting people to have some of those conversations with here. I'm effectively home-bound, as I am legally blind. I work from home, plus I take care of an ailing family member 11-13 hours a day. As a result, getting out to meet people isn't a very viable option at this point in my life. Most of my social interaction ends up being online, but it's fair to say that this situation isn't a permanent one. I've had some great conversations with people here, and I do see this community much like a very broad-range anime club. It's certainly not as good as when you can go meet up for coffee, dinner, etc. but it can be a viable substitute, at least for some of the conversational aspects. That's definitely one of the reasons that I'm here, that and to watch anime of course But it would be nice if there were a way to know right off the bat if someone you met in real life had the same interests as you.

My friend Mikey was really getting into anime and he noticed that there weren't any groups for people like that in our city, so he formed one himself and it just kept growing and growing! Now we have like 30+ members and we're working on a website and everything. We are even doing panels at the local conventions. That awesome! And a great idea. Maybe I'll have to do that myself

Now were like 30+ members and we're working on a website and everything. We are even doing panels at the local conventions. That's called commitment. I respect that. Thank you! We, along with the other members of our group, feel very strongly about making otaku guys and girls feel less alone. As otaku, we tend to feel isolated and it makes me kind of sad to think that way. That's why I always recommend joining these kinds of groups and going to conventions. It feels great to know there are actually a lot of people who share this interest. I mean, just look at how many members CrunchyRoll has!

I have been for a few months. All I have to go with are my old friends, and most of them are off to college. It is pretty hard to try and make new ones now that I don't really have my whole life established yet. All I have are my co-workers, but it's like those little friend that you talk to, but don't see outside of work. I'll just chat with the old gang via facebook.

Like say, going from Neon Genesis Evangelion to K-ON! or from Texhnolyze to Freezing? Also, I too agree with joining groups to meet people with similar interests. That way you can make more friends and potentially feel better.

We vote on an anime to watch at the meeting (we meet up once a week) and watch whichever one has the most votes and then watch the one with the least amount of votes the following week. Most recently we've watched Sword Art Online and Soul Eater. Both were a big hit with the members of the group. We usually watch about 4 episodes and then if the members like it, they continue watching on their own. It works out well and gives us more to talk about at the next meeting.

They are more likely to succumb to the mundane, that's for sure. Some of us never really want to grow up though, so we're more likely to notice when others have done just that. I personally think that whatever doesn't kill me, makes me stranger...and I'm quite content with that mindset.

I'm not very sociable in person, but you wouldn't guess that online. I speak better through text at a picture than I do through my voice to a face.

That sounds like a good set-up, glad it works out well. If you were wondering/curious about the anime I used for examples let me know, I can explain them to you if you want.

There are a few genres that i always enjoy though. I'm currently trying to get my girl more interested in anime, since I am trying to become more interested in some of her hobbies. Does anyone have suggestions of animes that you think a 23 yr old female would enjoy?

There so many new series coming out that I tend not to go back that far into "anime history". When I do go back to watch older series, it's usually to watch Samurai Champloo for the hundredth time. lol. Though recently I have been obsessing over old episode of Yugioh.
