Satya Prasad
Founder, Indian Anime Club
I have been watching anime for more than 20 years. When I was a kid, finding and sharing anime took effort: I remember downloading episodes over modem connections, watching DVDs, and sharing what I found with friends. Discovering a new series felt personal because it often came through curiosity, patience, and someone else's recommendation.
That experience shaped how I see fandom. Anime is not just a label to put on a page or a trend to chase. It is storytelling, animation, music, imagination, and memories people carry for years. I founded Indian Anime Club to help create a more genuine community for anime fans in India—one that respects the medium and the people who love it.
The goal is not to pretend that we already have a large organisation or a calendar full of activities. The goal is to build carefully, listen to fans, share useful and original perspectives, and grow a community that earns trust over time.
