About the Club

About Otaku no Anime

Otaku no Anime is GVSU's official Japanese Animation club. This club was founded in 1996 for the purpose of sharing and watching movies of this genre. We show anime every Sunday during the fall and winter semesters, starting at 1pm in Lake Superior Hall Room 154, and screen some fun stuff prior to the meetings like AMVs and other lovely, nerdy videos at 12:30ish. We also hold special weeknight showings from time to time.

The club name, "Otaku no Anime", means Otaku's Anime or Anime of the Otaku. The word "otaku" itself is used in Japan to describe someone obsessive with anything in particular, like trains, music, model kits, etc. However otaku is used especially outside Japan to describe anime fans. The name is derived from a famous anime: Otaku no Video, the quintessential anime describing what anime is itself!
