How does it work?
In this club, we nominate shows to watch and discuss as a community over a short period of time, similarly to a book club. Obviously, anime varies wildly in scope and length, so to try and accommodate for this I've decided to use a slightly less rigid format than a book club would.
Each cycle will last for 3 weeks total and will consist of three phases: nomination, voting, and discussion.
Phase 1: Nomination
This phase will last for 2–3 days. During this phase, people can nominate shows or movies that they would like to watch. Depending on how popular this project ends up being, I may start setting themes for each round to diversify what we watch a bit, but for now, feel free to nominate whatever you want.
Nomination Rules:
- Each person may submit the following number of shows:
- 2 series
- Try to keep it around 1–2 cour if possible, but 3- or 4-cour shows like Death Note are probably fine at a push. If you want to submit something that's longer than two 2-cour seasons or longer (e.g. FMAB), it will need an extended cycle to accommodate for people who can only watch maybe 2–3 episodes per day, which is fine occasionally, but I'd prefer it not to become a regular thing.
- 3 movies, short series, or shorts (cumulative)
- Short series = series with a low episode count (e.g. FLCL, Eve no Jikan, etc.)
- Shorts = shows with short runtimes per episode (e.g. Inferno Cop, Yami Shibai, She and Her Cat -Everything Flows-, etc.)
- 2 series
- Don't submit movies/OVAs/etc. that depend on prior knowledge of a franchise to follow.
- That said, it's fine if you group it with the series it ties to (e.g. Madoka and Rebellion, NGE and EoE, ReLIFE and its sequel OVA, etc.).
- Don't submit anything that hasn't been fully subbed yet.
- Please only make one nomination post. This is just so that I can keep better track of who submitted what. I won't process the nominations until the deadline, so feel free to edit your post as much as you want before then.
- Use common sense—I don't care if a show's not completely PG, but it should go without saying that you shouldn't submit porn lol. I'd prefer if we avoided ecchi shows, but if you really want to submit one and are not sure, check the rating on MAL: R-17+ is fine, Rx is not, and ask me first if it's R+.

This phase will also last for 2–3 days. During this phase, I will post two straw polls containing all (valid) nominations for people to vote on. This will be used to select one series and one movie/short series/short to watch and discuss over the remainder of the cycle. Multiple votes will be enabled, so feel free to vote for anything that catches your fancy. In fact, I encourage you to vote for lots—we want to make sure as many people as possible have something they'd like to watch, even if they don't get one of their own nominations.
Phase 3: Discussion
Pretty self-explanatory and will last for the remainder of the cycle. Watch the show and post whatever comes to mind, and feel free to discuss those thoughts with other members in the thread. That said, for the sake of others who may be behind, please wrap any spoilers you post in hide-tags and label them with the episode that you are spoiling.
Anime List Compendium
I'm collecting MAL/AniList/etc. profiles in the OP, so if you would like yours included, simply post a link in the thread or in a PM and I'll add it. If you decide later that you want it removed from the list, let me know and I'll edit it out.
