Calling all otakus!! Have you ever thought of getting together with other anime/manga lovers? Meeting those fellow lovers of Japanese culture? Then you have found the right place! This is a group for anyone interested in anime, manga, cosplay, anime conventions, Japanese culture, Japanese language, Japanese music, Japanese subcultures, video games, or just getting out and meeting new people! Anyone from extreme otakus to people who are true novices are welcome to join and learn more about this very interesting genre that has captivated myself along with thousands of others world wide from the mysterious and fascinating country of Japan! This group is located in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada; in an area known as Central Alberta near the Rocky Mountains. Rocky Mountain House has a twin town of Kamikawa, Hokkaido, Japan and are very active in maintaining this relationship with cultural activities, as well as hosting student and adult exchanges. With this tight interaction with Japan, it was only fitting that this town play host to a Japanese pop culture group such as The Rocky Otaku Group! The Rocky Otaku Group is a group truly unique of it's own. Without being tied to any library, university, high school, or cultural organization; the Rocky Otaku Group stands on it's own. Born on December 4, 2012 with a group of less than 30 members and have now expanded to nearly 600 members by November 2014!
