Hello everyone, I like to express my experience attending the general meeting for the Anime Asylum club on September 7 from 12:40 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. It’s very comforting to be surrounded by people who share a common interest/likeness as me in which we can have conversations about and in the future watch together, that is anime. In high school I would often part take in heated debates regarding plots, characters, cannon, and possible outcomes of some anime shows such as Dragon Ball Z Super, One Piece, Naurto, Pokemon, etc. with friends and it was really fun that would relieve some stress on upcoming exams. I found the Anime Asylum through browsing the clubs Baruch had to offer on their website to see if there was any clubs I would be interested in joining. I didn’t sign up for it up till the club fair in late August during the Freshmen orientation. My hope in joining this club is to form friends and have conversations through anime as I did in high school. In my first general meeting in Anime Asylum on September 7 I was able to meet members of the club as we all introduce ourselves. Stating our names, favorite anime, and what major we’re pursuing. We also saw saw some clips of Nichijou off of Youtube and chowed on some pizza while listening to anime music near the end of the meeting. I was able to have a few conversations with some members involving anime we have been watching recently. Can’t wait to get to know more of the members in this club. As I continue my journey in Baruch I hope to form friendships that’ll walk with me in this journey and perhaps beyond it as well. I will be updated in future meetings through their facebook page and email. Hope you all have fun in whatever clubs you have joined.
Peace.
