Planning to host a small anime screening at home, what's the best way to prepare?

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese

I'm planning to invite five or six friends over for an anime screening. I have a plan, but I'm not sure how to best prepare:

- Projector or TV? (I have a 65-inch TV)
- How to handle the audio? Is a regular soundbar enough?
- What kind of food should I prepare?
- What should we watch? A movie or a marathon of a TV series?
- Any tips for setting the mood/decorations?

Has anyone hosted a similar event before? I'd love to hear your experiences. I want it to be both comfortable and have a great vibe.

Actually, have you guys noticed that the virtual world setting in Summer Wars actually predicted today's metaverse concept? Mamoru Hosoda is truly very visionary.

A 65-inch TV is more than enough! I suggest a dark room + a good soundbar, and it will already feel amazing.

Seeing the title "Summer Wars" suddenly reminds me of the days when I queued up with my friends at the ACGHK to watch the premiere... Ah, youth...

Summer Wars is the GOAT!!! A masterpiece by Mamoru Hosoda that you must watch!!! You'll definitely be teary-eyed by the end!!!

Atmosphere decoration: You can hang some anime posters, place figures nearby, and use a projector to display the logo on the wall.

Honestly speaking, a 65-inch TV is more than enough; projectors are both expensive and a hassle. To be honest, the most important thing for a screening party is the atmosphere—a dark room and some popcorn is already a winning combination.

Japanese snacks are perfect! It would feel even more authentic if you also paired them with food that appeared in the anime.

Food suggestion: Japanese snacks (Onigiri, sushi, skewers) to match the anime theme. You can also learn the food from the anime!

OP, I suggest preparing "Your Name" or "Suzume"; Makoto Shinkai's works have beautiful visuals that are easier for friends to get into. Thanks for sharing~

Anime food critic's recommendation: Try the curry rice or hot pot from Laid-Back Camp! It feels amazing to eat while watching.

Some anime cafes in Nihon hold screening events. You can reference their setup and menu.

Theatrical versions are best for screenings. They are 2 hours long, so everyone can watch them together and discuss them immediately afterward.

+1 for the movie version! Still have the energy to discuss it after finishing one. If it were a marathon, it’d be easy for everyone to get tired by the end.

Regarding the budget: $100-150 per person including food and drinks is more than enough. Splitting the bill is the fairest way.

I recommend a less popular but perfect film for a screening: Summer Wars. The atmosphere in the room will definitely be amazing.

I recommend watching the Demon Slayer movie or Your Name. Works that appeal to a wide audience are the most suitable.

I'd love to join a gathering like this! If you manage to pull it off, please post a report to share how it went; I'd like to host one at home too.
