Anime Club

The Anime Club is an association for the appreciation of anime and manga. Anime is the art of Japanese animation, as expressed in television series, mini-series, and films. Manga are Japanese graphic novels. Anime and manga are media known among fans for their unique art style and typically intricate plots and character interactions. Fans enjoy the wide and diverse range of genres encompassed by these media, including action, romance, comedy, science fiction, fantasy, drama, and horror. Fans of these media may also have an interest in Japanese language or Japanese culture.

The Anime Club provides a means for anime fans to contact each other and share and recommend favorite shows. The club also hosts Anime Nights on campus every Saturday to promote the enjoyment of anime in a social setting. All members of the Whitman community are welcome to join the club in sharing three hours of our favorite anime films and series, as well as tasty refreshments.

The club also organizes an annual trip to Sakura Con, an anime convention held in Seattle every spring, as a fun bonding opportunity and means to learn about new anime being produced as well as cultural and production workshops.
