^ This.
Just make sure you actually manage to speak to her a couple of times before that, because hanging out with a person you know nothing about is super-awkward

But you should really polish your self-esteem a bit. She's not gonna hate you if you say hi and ask her what anime she likes, especially when you note that she has anime-related stuff with her. You're not some random guy walking up to her on the street, you sit next to her in class! It's only natural to get to know people you see a lot. And just because you don't talk to her one time, it doesn't mean you can never talk to her when you're still in the same class sitting next to each other. If you overthink stuff like that, you're only gonna make it more complicated for yourself.

Most people enjoy being greeted and asked some nice, basic questions from classmates and co-workers. So casual chatting really is too much for you as of now, then as I said, say hi when she comes in/ you come to class and bye when she leaves/ you leave. There's really not much to it.
