We're a mostly-anime club that usually meets in the Pasadena area Friday and Saturday evenings. Currently we're doing hybrid showings, both in-person for fully COVID-vaccinated folks at members' homes, and online via our Discord server. Our showings usually run 6:30 - 10:30 Pacific Time.
Last week we were unable to hold Saturday showings at David's, so we held them on Discord. In case the same situation comes up this week, Saturday showings can use Alan's as a backup location (for those willing to make the longer drive), or we can remain online-only that night.
Jeapordy had an Anime category recently, which I find interesting both as a sign that anime is now seen as popular enough in America that Jeapordy contestants at least should know it (I imagine Family Feud anime categories are still a couple dacdes away), and also for exactly what questions contestants were able to answer right away and which ones stopped them in their tracks. The ANN article I linked to embeds a Youtube clip, and it gives an idea of roughly what era of anime these folks are familiar with.
A couple days ago, the Crunchyroll Store delisted over 100 Discotek releases out of nowhere. Some were out of print, but a majority weren't - it seems likely someone decided to cull a bunch of titles which were seen as slow sellers. At any rate, MediaOCD/AnimEigo will start carrying Discotek's entire back catalog
