Thanks for coming everyone I think that was a fruitful discussion and it has given me some ideas on how to set these up going forward.
For the next meetup up on Wednedsay we will try to have a seperate world to go to where we can be in a more classroom like setting. 
This will be at 8PM EDT -sharp-.

Structure will be as follows.
-10 mins Kana review: We'll read off as a group the basic Kana from the charts or from study cards
-10 mins Vocab review: We'll introduce 5 new words to listen for during anime night
-30 minutes leaded lesson/self study: Introducing and discussing a concept, or practicing pronunciation. This will either be through a video or someone in the group taking the initiative to lead the lesson.

For now on your own use this link to start studying kana: https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/learn/kana.html
If you have any other ideas on how these should go reply here or bring them up to me next time after the lesson. 
Remember (you) [spoiler]can[/spoiler] learn Japanese.

From this initial discussion I foresee this taking on a "one room school house" setup. Everyone's going to have different things they'll want to focus on so we'll have some time each night they can do so with the more experience members if they already know the main lesson well enough.
