Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
Our club seeks to share our love of anime and broaden our fellow students' knowledge of this continually developing aspect of Japanese culture. In doing so, we hope to make Lafayette a more culturally aware and diverse campus, and help the student body become more open-minded and creative both as they learn and after they graduate. More than that, though, we seek to be a welcoming and friendly community to anyone at Lafayette, and allow people to enjoy all that anime and Japanese culture has to offer!

Our club seeks to foster and bring together all who enjoy anime, Japanese pop-culture, video games, and anything in between!

Membership Benefits
Every semester, all club members recommend shows for the club to watch. Then, out of those, everyone votes on 2 shows to watch during the semester. Mob rules. Each week, we meet weekly to watch one episode of each of the 2 series. Post-show, we talk it out!

We also host special events like movie screenings, either traveling together to local theaters or in our college's own on-campus theater. Additionally, we get together as a club and travel to at least one anime convention each semester, such as Comic Con in New York. We also take part in off-campus Japanese cultural events, such as monthly trips to JAPAN Fes, a Japanese food and cultural festival in NYC, Cherry Blossom Festivals, and other cultural events.

Starting in fall 2023, we will also feature some new programming as well. This may include things like cosplay contests, parties, and more, so stay tuned for any announcements!

Lastly, we're just a group of friends who hang out both in person and online, and you can often find lots of us eating lunch and dinner together. If you're a fan of anime, manga, or even general video games, you are absolutely welcome here!
