There are a handful of girls that pop up intermittently. Problem is they are escorted without exception or exemption.

A couple of the hardcore members such as Ryan, Mappy, Barron and myself often appear as early as 4:30pm on the screening nights. Standard fare is talking rubbish for 90 minutes before migrating to the appropriate theater. Knowing a bit about computers will help you get into most conversations easily. Seeing as you know a bit about Skylines, you can get into conversations with me and that other guy with the pony tail who was interested in Shana whose name I never thought to ask.
...and then there's the actual screening. We play 8 shows back-to-back from 6pm to approx. 9:15pm. Expect the projector to fail at around the 8pm mark. It does the same thing every single week.
Standard theater rules apply here. STFU when the shows are playing, but general etiquette allows for discussion during the ED of a show. Uh, no eating. Ryan gets very angry when that happens. I remember the last time, I was the one who got lumped with removing the blood stains. Not fun. So please, don't eat.

The shows that are only a few episodes in are fairly easy to catch up on, so you shouldn't have too much of a problem. If worse comes to worse, ask about the shows before/after the screening.

Man, let the guy make his own impression when he comes. Don't scare him off or taint/prejudice him. It's not what we're about and it's not something to be proud of. We're supposed to be about providing an environment for people to watch anime where they can feel safe and be in the company of other decent anime fans.
Putting people off, scaring women or looking down on others - that's nothing to laugh about.
Now can we just be civil?
shinigami, hope you come soon and that you enjoy what you see. We're not the most sociable or attractive bunch of people but we're decent and harmless enough once you get to know us.
That said, I know and understand why Atory prefers to attend UniSAGA rather that AJAS these days. Thankfully a resident Yoda in Mappy exists.

Shinigami, welcome to AJAS. Feel free to rock up any time you want while the screening is happening and leave whenever you feel like it. We hold a vote for every show at the end of it's 5th episode to determine if it should stay on the playlist.
As far as I can remember, I have only ejected one person from an AJAS meeting because they didn't want to acknowledge the "No food in the theatre" rule. If I find out about member being touched in an inappropriate fashion during an AJAS session the offender should consider breathing to be a privilege and not a right.
IceLee wrote:Well apparently Shinigami knows Bazza, White.
Hi, welcome again, I turn up on rare occasions as my Taekwondo classes clashes with AJAS sessions sadly ( I train on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the occasional Saturday Mornings) But I will try to arrange to attend AJAS sometime in the next few weeks now that I'm better and all, and if my head instructor would allow me to do so.
also I must apologize, I initally thought you was a male at first because of your knowing Bazza. sorry!

Me and Bazza hang around each other most of the time at AJAS. He's got long hair that is usually tied up in a ponytail, wears a bucket hat 24/7, and usually has a jacket with a checkered-like pattern on it. I've recently had my hair cut, so it's really short, I always have a blue school bag with me, and most of the time I am wearing a black/brown jumper.

You have this slightly skewed. Michael Barron, the club's secretary was the person making the announcement. I was the person telling Mendes to shut up or leave and if he thinks of talking back to me again when asked to be quiet for an announcement he can feel free to amend his behaviour.
