On the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month an enthusiastic and well-cultured group of Nurds gathers to watch Anime (Chinese Cartoons😎). There is a large projector in the space, and reasonably comfy sofa's. The TAG-Team decided it was time to use this infrastructure for good and now share their love for Anime on the big screen.
How it works?
- Go to the nurdspace at 19:00. Bring some food, drinks or weird japanese snacks if you want to.
- If there's something specific you want to watch bring a USB stick, a device with a HDMI connection or something that can speak chromecast.
- BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket) for peak coziness or build a mecha pillow fort out of BLÅHAJ sharks—we don’t judge. 🦈🦈🦈
- If you're scared of weird Japanese animations you can bring a friend to hold your hand for when it gets too much. This advice also applies to those who are already used to the oftentimes "wild shit" that happens on screen.

The log: What has been watched by the guild?
7 January 2025: Movie night
Lemon Demon - The Ultimate Showdown [4K REUPLOAD]
We decided this night's movie to be 5 centimeters per second. The internet archive helped us out to acquire it, but it had a download time of about 20 minutes. The guild chose to spend it on the utmost important youtube content. We some trailers and AMV's we ended up at this ultimate showdown newgrounds classic. It was a blast from the past to see Chuck Norris be relevant. No cats, but godzilla was there so lets call it even.
5 centimeters per second.
This movie was told in 3 parts and was centered around trains. Immediately at the end the following responses were noted down. Roy: Er had wel wat meer verhaal in gemogen. Suspense is heftig, super cliffhanger. Melan: Dit is wat er gebeurd als mensen geen facebook hebben. Lisa: Dit is wat je je kind aandoet als je ieder jaar gaat verhuizen. Ondanks dat er niet veel gebeurde hebben we de paar dingen die dan wel gebeurden toch niet helemaal meegekregen. Verschillende gildeleden waren verward over wie nou wie was in de 2e act door de timejump, en dat ze blijkbaar verloofd was. We hadden bovendien het genre niet begrepen. We dachten dat we iets romantisch aan het kijken waren maar het was een tragedie. Maar niks te klagen hoor, het was echt heel mooi gemaakt en aangrijpend en meesterlijk verteld. Blij dat we 't gezien hebben!
This movie will forever be remembered by the guild as as "Tranen en Treinen" .
No longer allowed in another world
Interessant, educatief. Precies de juiste balans tussen depressie en sideboob. Eindelijk weer 1 met een kat, maar nu weer geen treinen. Hoofdpersoon was feitelijk een kruising tussen Edgar Allan Poe en de ezel Ejoor. The depression was the joke. En alles is duits om een 1 of andere reden. Deze anime steekt succesvol de draak met tropes van het Isekai genre en was - ondanks de depri negativo die de hoofdrol vertolkte - een fijne show om te kijken na de zware "5 centimeters per second."
Usagi drop
The closer of the night was the atmospheric and relaxed Usagi Drop. The pilot establishes the relation of the main character and his aunt. thing is: he's like 35 and his aunt is maybe 10. #OnlyInJapan. It has to be noted this was the best drawn series of the evening. We learned a lot about the Japanese traditions with regards to mourning. Our verdict: Wholesome family funeral fun. Also: Cats > rabbits. Just sayin'.
11 December 2024: Series Night, first Gathering:
The space was incredibly cold that winterday. Like for real its not o.k. how cold it was. Luckily things got heated rather quickly when sitting under the blankets. And having a cosy time with snacks and stuff also helped a lot.
Bakemonogatari
An interesting watch with a lot of different stylings and collages, sligtly creeply but still kinda cute. Too artistic for most of our tastes with all the aesthetic words floating around, but still intruiging and absurdist. Shinobu is cute and possibly - with a high probability - a vampire. Or a cat.
Ghost stories
Random stuff happens but that is ok, the voice acting is where its at. Overly christian but we don't mind, really. we repeatedly were like "did they really say that?" and the answer always was: yes they did. Main baddy turned out to be a cat.
Got reincarnared as a sword
According to Eis-T there's too much spreadsheet in this but that is normal for isekai according to Maggie. Boopatroopa loves it because it has good vibe. The main girl is not only a freed slave, but also - surprisingly - a cat girl. We're starting to see a theme here.
Mashle. Magic meets muscle
The setting was great. One punch man meets harry potter. Very food obsessed. Shadowrider told Boopatroopa something about something. Only anime so far without a cat. Lack of cute girls in pilot episode has to be noted. But it teaches you how a door works, so that is something.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
The iconic and thoroughly neo-tokio world of Gundam is not to be missed on a first TAG gathering. The one we watched felt very modern, the gundams now have docking stations for their smartphones. It was pretty epic and overtly anti-capitalist, but somehow still cute. The plot twist in the end of the pilot came out of nowhere and we were all very, very excited to continue watching and find out where things go next. The lack of cats did not bother us much this time.
Keijo!!!!!!
The final episode of the night was an over-the-top sports anime. It provided equal parts funny and horny, and provided us with many LOL and WTF moments. Boopatroopa suspiciously left halfway the episode for some alone time. We were surprised how well rounded (pun intended) a lot of the action and story was in this anime. One of the girls in the team of our protagonist was arguably a cat.
Future gatherings
There will all kinds of things in the future.Thematic nights, movie nights, abridged versions, marathon sessions, try not to laugh challenges, you name it. More info will follow when the TAG Team decides to. If not, just show up on the 1st or 3rd Tuesday and surprise yourself (and us).
