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.

Every week, we meet to watch and discuss a selection of shows voted on between semesters by current members. 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 year, such as AnimeNYC in New York. 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 just general videogames, you are absolutely welcome here!
