My high school had a sad anime club. Basically it kept dying and reviving every other year due to lack of members or people willing to start one up again.

In university, my anime club was GIGANTIC. 1000s of members, $1000s IN FUNDING. We had constant events and collaborations such as maid/cosplay cafes, valentines/halloween dances, booths at local anime conventions... Being a member gave us discounts at certain sponsor stores too like at hobby shops or anime shops. I ended up friends with the executive members for a certain year and I'm still friends with that group today.

As an alumni, I'm still welcome to drop by their anime viewings, artist hangout, board game night, dinners, movie hangouts, and karaoke sessions. I still have access to their public discord server and chat in it. The club now collaborates with other universities to make CROSSOVER UNIVERSITY ANIME CLUB EVENTS. My local weeb community is POWERFUL.
