As a big fan of Japanese pop culture, I attended an anime and voice actor fan club in Doshisha University.<\/p>\n

First of all, I would like to simply introduce how the regular activity works. Most of the Japanese school clubs have their own club rooms called\u300c\u90e8\u5ba4\u300d, where club members usually meet everyday after class. As for the anime club, you are free to come and leave whenever you like. People read manga, play games, and talk with one another about new anime episodes during the club time.<\/p>\n

The existence of \u300c\u90e8\u5ba4\u300dmakes relationship between club members in Japan very different from that of America. I was also a member of anime club in Boston University before I came to Japan, which was a much larger club consisting of more than 100 members. We met in a normal classroom every Friday to watch several anime episodes and did not have much time to talk. Therefore, when I first went to the anime club in Doshisha, I was very surprised to find out that people actually sleep in futons and have meals in the club room. It feels like the club is another home for them. And the relationship between club members is different from schoolmates or friends, but closer to family who live together based on the same interest. For example, when someone buys a new game, he\/she will bring it to the club and share with everyone else. After playing the game together, people will sit and chat about whether they like it or not. I really enjoy the relaxing and delightful atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Here is an advice for people who might be interested: If you want to experience Japanese unique school life in a rather easy and enjoyable way, it would be a nice choice for you to attend a club like anime club. However, if you wish to really do something meaningful, there are many other better choices for you such as voluntary works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
