Not a day goes by where I don't stumble across some stereotypical situation and have to laugh. This city will be my next addiction I suppose, given my propensity to gravitate toward the pleasantly odd.</p> <p>By the way, I was clued into something relevant to this topic. A hero willing to dedicate some time has recently launched a proto-group with the purpose of forming a fully independent san francisco county anime club. Worth a look. I intend to make a profile post haste.</p> <p><a href="http://www.meetup.com/san-franime/" rel="nofollow">http://www.meetup.com/san-franime/</a> </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/ga-transplant-looking-for-like-minded-folks#post-2160 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:47:11 +0000 TheSakuraHime 2160@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Hi-ee ^^ I to have recently moved here.

Due to numerous factors, Anime was a part of my life before I even knew what it was. Career necessities and personal political realities precipitated my complete uprooting from Atlanta, GA and relocation to SF proper (currently along the panhandle)</p> <p>Needless to say, my nearest friends are over 3k miles away, and I'd love to meet some like-minded people here.</p> <p>I'm absolutely surprised to see the state of the local anime community in SF county, though. Either it's buried very, very deep underground, or Atlanta's is much healthier of late (maybe it's just closer to the surface because the culture is all big-box).</p> <p>Loves include:<br /> -convoluted seinen style plots<br /> -the obnoxiously moe<br /> -hard scifi (not limited to anime)<br /> -character driven<br /> -parody (also not limited to anime, see mst3k, rifftrax.com)<br /> -high fantasy</p> <p>top 5 titles:<br /> Akira<br /> scraprin<br /> gits sac<br /> Aria<br /> shangri-la </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/japans-1-dj-yoji-june-10-ruby-skye-sf-ages-18#post-2144 Mon, 24 May 2010 16:14:16 +0000 sfedm 2144@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Here's a rare opportunity to see Japan's #1 dance music DJ in a rare US West Coast appearance.

Group. We either need to start making posts like this (and the one from last week and all other announcements like group outings)at both locations or scrap the Yahoo! group as our official channel of communication. So far the Yahoo! group is being SORELY neglected and almost ALL announcements are being made here. Yet there has been NO announcement that the AnimeFX sub-thread here at the Bay Anime forums is the new official channel of communication for the club. People like myself are missing out expecting to hear club news through the Yahoo! group only to get silence. And any talk with officers has been met with apathy.</p> <p>COME ON, PEOPLE!

In preparation of the upcoming Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver release on the Sunday after this upcoming Anime FX meeting, I hereby propose a Pokemon Union Room Gathering! If you are a fan of the games, please bring in your game and a DS to do some wireless trading with us! If you haven't played up to the DS generations and are still on the GBA Generation of games, I plan on bringing in two GameBoy Advance SPs as well as one (maybe two) Game Link Cables for trading or record mixing!<br /> If you're not an active fan of the video games, but are a fan of the cards, bring in your decks! You may receive a challenge!<br /> And if you want, bring in your favorite piece of Pokemon merchandise, whether it's a plush toy, a PokeBall, clothes or anything at all!<br /> Cosplay will be encouraged as well!</p> <p>I'm debating bringing along my Wii as well, as I have a copy of Pokemon Rumble saved to my system, as well as My Pokemon Ranch (for those of you that want to see a herd of Buizel). If anybody has a copy of Pokemon Battle Revolution, we can even try to arrange some battles on a big screen!</p> <p>Is anybody else here as excited for a Pokemon themed gathering as I am? I hope to see lots of trainers to mix records with and do trades!</p> <p>Interested in hosting an event (i.e. Mystery Egg trades, Pokemon Contest competition, etc.)? Post here, and we'll see how it goes! </p> <p>If at all possible, can we post this announcement to the title of the page as well? Pleeease? </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/anime-fx-meeting-312-kamen-rider#post-2058 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:12:23 +0000 cobaph 2058@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Also, since Pokemon Heart Gold Soul Silver comes out this Sunday, let's Pokemon battle this coming meeting to transition into the next game. Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, or Soul Silver is preferred. </p> <p>Anything older, and you'll need to post ahead of time to see if anyone else wants to bring the older games AND a link cable. </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/anime-fx-meeting-312-kamen-rider#post-2057 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:23:54 +0000 Sentai JEFF 2057@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>This is your Kamen Rider/Sentai obsessed Vice President here to let you know that this Friday the 2nd Half of the viewing list will consist of 4 different Kamen Rider shows instead of your regular line up of Anime.
