Categories: Announcements, Events

Comments: No

In the past year, the Anime Manga Society has been working with Meta Human Entertainment to help them put together an anime/geek culture convention at UH. Called Anime Ohana Festival (AO Fest), it will be held on June 23rd at the UH Manoa Campus Center. They will feature a host of local guests, and are also currently in the process of seeking Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty, Adventure Time) and others from abroad.

If you could get anyone to come to AO Fest (or any anime convention), who would YOU want to see? We’ve got a fun little poll up that you can participate in– list anyone you want, and you might get your wish granted!

First Spring ’18 meetings, free voting, and Fresh Fridays!

Categories: Announcements, Showings

Comments: No

Hello everyone, and welcome to the new year– hope your first week went well. Our first meetings this semester will be on January 25 and 26th, 4:30-7:00p in Kuykendall 210!

Before we start, we’d like to announce a few changes this semester that will hopefully make club more fun:

First, voting will be free for all showing picks during our general meetings! The remaining perks of AMS membership will stay of course— Crunchyroll access, club discounts on tickets to Kawaiikon and other happenings, and use of our table at events as an AMS-affiliated artist (guidelines to be announced will apply).
Second, we’re bringing back Fresh Fridays, a format that’ll focus on showcasing new stuff. One or two shows for these sessions will be chosen on a weekly basis, and new series will be picked at the end of each meeting (or at least 75% majority to continue shows). Since anyone can vote or introduce stuff, we can watch almost any anime ‘so long as they’re something we can find and are appropriate. If nothing new is suggested, officer picks, casual watching, games, or other activities may be done the next week.

What do you think? Got questions, comments, or suggestions? Let us know at ams@hawaii.edu!

Thursday Showings, Last Fall Game Day

Categories: Announcements, Events

Comments: No

This week we’ll have a small change in our Thursday Showings, since last week I had forgotten War on Geminar was 40 minutes per episode, and added an extra episode of My Hero Academia– leaving out the last showing. Thus, we will watch two episodes of My Hero Academia, one episode of War on Geminar, and two episodes of Interviews with Monster Girls this week.

We will also have our last Fall AMS Game Day from 2p-6p this Saturday in Campus Center 309. We hope to see you there!
