Heya, r/anime! Welcome to the Mod-Hosted rewatch, I’ll be taking episode one as a first-time watcher of this show. All I know is that it’s a parody anime where the main character finds themselves joining their schools anime club. Looking forward to seeing if the show does enough to make me laugh! You can see my episode 1 thoughts as I watch in a comment posted below!
A host of other moderators will be posting subsequent threads and taking part in discussion as well. You can see the full schedule on the main [index post](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/128142p/modhosted_rewatch_animegataris_oneday_reminder/).

# So, what is Animegataris, and why should you join this rewatch?
u/badspler is here to say a few words on why you should watch this anime:
>Animegataris aired in 2017 and was largely ignored. It was a packed season… and lets face it: no one expected [Houseki no Kuni to end up anime of the year](https://redd.it/7vyggz). On the outside, it may look like a generic high-school club series, but its [7.78 MAL score](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35427/Animegataris) does elude to it punching above what an initial glance might have you think.
>
>Animegataris is primarily a comedy; it plays into tropes and generic expectations only to later subvert them. The series packs a surprising amount of depth and into its short 12 episode run, and is largely tied together by the superbly focused cast. When it reveals its final-form, every joke lands and you realize just how much was built up to maximize the gags. And finally I would also be amiss not to mention that there is a neat romantic throughline that wraps the whole series up.
>
>Finally Animegataris holds a close place in my heart as one of the few series ([Shirobako](https://myanimelist.net/anime/25835/Shirobako), [Eizouken](https://myanimelist.net/anime/39792/Eizouken_ni_wa_Te_wo_Dasu_na)) that dives into the creation and production of anime itself. Having technical details explained well and then demonstrated in following scenes makes for an elegant presentation of artform.
And, if you’re looking for a bit of the [MAL](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35427/Animegataris) synopsis:
>After dreaming about an anime she used to watch as a child, Minoa Asagaya could not forget a particularly memorable scene. However, despite her best efforts, she cannot recall the name of the show. Due to this, Minoa asks for help from her fellow classmates at Sakaneko High School. Her conversation is overheard by Arisu Kamiigusa, the most popular and wealthy girl in class who is also a hardcore otaku. Yet even with her vast knowledge, Arisu does not recognize the show.
>
>After discovering that there isn’t an anime club at their school, Minoa and Arisu create the Anime Research Club, as they may obtain the answer to Minoa’s mystery if they gather people who share the same interest. Thus, Minoa is exposed to a bizarre new world—the world of anime!
