How do you locate anime fans?

[ps3mania]

I.ve been watching anime more than ever right now, and none of the people I know in school seems to watch anime at all, and there is no anime club or anything like that in my school. So, does anyone have any way to find anime fans in a school inviroment without doing outrageous things like screaming "I LOVE ANIME!! HOW ABOUT YOU!!?" through out the school hall?

Look for the fat ones with NERV shirts.

Sad but true. At my place, anyways =P

[ps3mania]

True, I dont really openly talk about anime stuff eighter....

man, I wish anime had a better public image...

[ps3mania]

Why can't you start a club at your school?

More NERV t-shirts

I would start a club IF i had any talent at organizing group meetings and all the responsibilities that come from being a club leader.... im not a leader

im third

Or just look for anything anime-like. For ex. shirts, pins, backpacks, etc. Luckily, there is an anime club at my school.

That may be the only way (attempt to start a club, look for clues on their backpacks etc) unless you know if there are any people there that play games like Magic: The Gathering. There is some crossover with some of the CCGs and RPGs.

You can my invention a Anime Fan Detector. it will detect any anime fan form upto 100 ft away. If you order now you get it for a special price of $99.99. i accpet credit cards, check or cash.

Whats wrong with yelling out "I love anime, how 'bout you?" Thats what i do. Seems to work well too.

They have clubs here at UTSA, but I do not attend. I've actually seen a few dress up around Halloween time and walk around campus in their cosplay. Yeaahh...

[holyman282]

hmmm wish there was a club for anime in my school, but for some reason ppl just think anime are for little kids, it's hard to explain to them that anime covers a broad range or spectrum concerning their genre and does not always mean pokemon or DBZ

Go to places where you can expect a lot of anime fans like conventions. Go dressed up like someone and use potography as a method to meet people.

[Areguzanda]

the first thing one of my freinds said after I said I watched Anime was, WHAT?? You watch cartoon porn?

omg...please people get a clue...

why cant someone tell the world Anime and Hentai are not allways the same thing?

[bayoab]

To the OP: Some areas have regional anime clubs that aren't restricted to any one school. You might want to see if there is one around. Or, you can go on IRC and see if you happen to come across anyone else from your area.

Because for every single anime fan who actually proves that to someone, there is another fan who perpetuates the stereotype. (Just look around this board at the signatures and avatars.)

Try to peak at others doodlings.
