Do you like anime? Do you have a fascination with Japanese culture? Are you interesting in learning more about Art, Animation, and Language? Do you wonder why some shows are "good" while others are "bad"? Then you've come to the right place. Welcome to the Anime Appreciation Watch Club. Every week we watch an episode of a provided anime, discuss the pros and cons of the story, take an objective look at the art, animation, and structure. Each week we have learner-directed session topics, with a structural overview on how to critically apprise art and animation, and allow students to flex their creativity in discussing the topics at hand. Students decide what we watch! Twice a week we will watch 30 minutes of foreign animation, followed by 20 minutes of open discussion. Prompt questions will be provided, but students will have free range to discuss anything on their mind. Session topics will be learner-directed, and will remain the same every week. Feel free to drop in any time. Miss an episode? No big deal, we'll catch you up. Want to talk about what's going on? There are plenty of friendly faces to help. Life can be hard. Being a teenager is harder. Having hobbies outside societal norms can be the hardest. This is a fun and safe forum for teens to discuss their feelings with other like-minded individuals. Anime can be a temporary soothing balm, escapism, or a way to realign your world view and face challenges head on. We will discuss all aspects of this in our bi-weekly installments. New learners are welcome to join at any time. Our session topics are learner-directed, and our community of learners are very welcoming to new students. No supplies or materials are required from the learners themselves.
Learning Goals
This class is recommended for Boys and Girls, ages 13-18.
This is a fun discussion group and anime watch club. But that doesn't mean we are without purpose. Students will learn important lessons while they have a voice in what to watch, discussing the content, and understanding jubjective vs objective views. Each week we have learner-directed session topics, with a structural overview on how to critically apprise art and animation, and allow students to flex their creativity in discussing the topics at hand.
