On the 2nd and 4th 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 intense, this also applies to those who are already used to the oftentimes "wild shit" that happens on screen.

What has been watched?
First Gathering: 11 December 2024
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 propability - 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. Westley 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. Frank told westley 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.
Gundam
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. Westley 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
The pilot was - all in all - considered a success. Because of silly things like christmas and new years the Tuesday Anime Guild will not gather, but in January of 2025 we will start for realsies. There will be thematic nights, movie nights, abridged versions, you name it. More info will follow when the TAG Team decides to. If not, just show up on the 2nd or 4th Tuesday and surprise yourself (and us).
