How do I find people IRL who like animation that don't only like mainstream normieshit?
You can't, you need to turn them yourself.

internet maybe

It's the problem with any niche hobby.
Sure, you know there are people who are as passionate as you are but you'll probably never meet them unless you seek them out.
I'm sure there's plenty of hipster clubs out there

I said don't only like mainstream animation. There's nothing wrong with liking it, I just want to know people who are willing to delve a little deeper and watch chinese fuckin things nobody saw.

>Uses normieshit unironically
Unironically, your best bet is reddit meetups.
Mainly because you sound like a sperg.

Do you already have friends? Like real friends and not just people you talk to for passing the time? If so then you can introduce them to your hobbies and show them why you love these things.

Art school
>>89532009
Hang around art schools or any school that offers animation majors.
you are forgiven
Find people who go to art school. You could also try going to a local art house theater. See if they ever have any animation festival films playing and try to meet people there.
