Great Bridge Anime Club
The Great Bridge Anime Club is an anime club that has been around for the past many years and looking for more attendance and club oriented fun. They meet at one of the meeting rooms in the Central Library in Chesapeake (check their site for event dates and times). Contact the group for any questions or suggestions and they will try to accomodate you. If all else fails they’ll just destroy the problem with their Mech suit… once they find a new engineer since they fired the old one. Join their forum to get up to date information on everything like upcoming anime in Japan, games, upcoming meeting dates, or have discussion about general topics.

Hampton Anime Club (HAC)
http://www.meetup.com/anime-525/
The Hampton Anime Club is a social club and has lots of events where they get together and have fun. They normally only watch a few episodes of a series to get a taste for it and go out on our own and finish up the series. It’s like a sampler of the anime and some like it and others don’t. This way, if it’s a series you don’t like, you only have to see a tiny bit and we move on to the next one.
