the club
Anime belongs in a theater.
the rules
How a night runs.
- Doors an hour early so nobody has to sprint from work. Come eat first, Japantown is right there.
- A two-minute intro: what you're about to see, why we picked it, and an honest content warning. Then we shut up.
- Phones away. Not a rule we enforce with a flashlight, just a thing everyone here already agrees on.
- Nobody bolts at the credits. Stay for the raffle, argue about the ending in the lobby, come to the after-party.
meetup
The Meetup group.
