Oh well um...
Ok in basic terms aka google search

Geek: a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed.

Nerd: an intelligent but single-minded expert in a particular technical field or profession

Naturally A geek would always be the obsessed otaku but the nerd is the one that does the research in a field. For instance knowing all about battle strategy, is in cadets to some form, playes rainbow six armoured core etc and as a result hold better ground and appreciation for anime like Full metal panic and evangelion. A similar obseesion but one that is constructed and educated.

Im not very good with my words, well explaining myself anyway. But essentially I wouldn't attach the term nerd to an otaku.


Hmmm interesting. I've always thought the geek was wiser in the technical/computer field where as the nerd was an all-around smartie...

Well if we are going with cultural differences it could just be the english view toward such categories.

There's actually two such clubs at my college. One is 100% devoted to anime, the other mixes anime and live action series.

Most colleges seem to have one. If you look at your colleges website, they may have a list of clubs so you can check beforehand! ^_^

There is an anime club at my school. Sadly, I didn't join. Now it's getting cut out of the budget and won't be there next year. I wish I joined while I could. D:

That's horrible! Hopefully something will work out. You could always just meet up all of you and watch anime together.

My highschool has an anime club and japanese club. I was vice president of the anime club but I graduated so I handed my position off to someone I trusted. The anime club I can honestly say sucked. The members didn't do anything. They relied on the officers to do everything and the worst thing is the president lets them. Wouldn't be surprised if it was canceled next year. Trying to get an anime club started at the library district here.

The Japanese Club was started by me but was run by an english teacher who knew Japanese. We met once every Thursday after school.
