Anime and Manga

Founded in 2005 and crowned Society of the Year 2013/14, our society runs on weekly watch parties, where we watch anime based on your recommendations! This year, the Anime and Manga society will reach its 20th year anniversary, and we'd love you to celebrate it with us! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

​
We hope to host multiple events this year, including:
 

• Watch Parties - Our most notable activity as a society! Twice a week, we meet as a society to watch anime based on a weekly theme, as well as a long running series, both of which are voted for by you! Sessions typically run from 5pm to 8pm, but we'll keep you regularly informed of our sessions on Instagram and Discord! (⁀ᗢ⁀)
   
• Weekly Socials - After the last watch party of the week (Thursday or Friday), our society heads to our local spoons for some food, drinks and to get to know each other better!
   
• Comic Cons - We plan to attend three comic cons for this upcoming year, those being MCM Birmingham (November 29 - December 1), Megacon Birmingham (29-30 March) and MCM London (DATE TBA). Which day we attend will be decided closer to the time, and the society will cover part of travel costs depending on the con! Comic con's are a great experience, especially within a group! Both members and non-members are welcome to attend with us~
   
• Manga Library - Over the years, our society has accumulated a range of manga, which we'd like to expand further this year. With a membership, members can sign up for our manga library in order to rent out manga for cheap! All proceeds will then feed back into the library to improve it further, and over on our discord, we appreciate recommendations for which volumes we can buy next!
   

• Plus more events we hope to host, such as monthly movie nights, cinema trips, local Derby convention trips at OtakuLink (November, February, May) and more! To see the events calendar for the A&M Society, head to our instagram/discord, or drop us an email! (✯◡✯)

Our Give It A Go sessions will take place on the 19th and the 20th of September, which will run from 5pm to 8pm, with a social following the session of the 20th. No membership is required, so feel free to attend! If you would like to become a member, you will need both the Union Pass (£5) and the Society Membership (£6)!

Anime is becoming increasingly more popular, and so our society is a welcome space for everyone, regardless of how much anime you've watched or the genre you prefer! We hope to see you all soon! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
