Welcome to the Southampton University's Anime and Manga Society page. 

We're a society dedicated to the mutual interest in Anime, Manga and other aspects of Japanese culture. 

At the start of each semester the committee shortlists a selection of anime for the society to watch. At the first Wednesday session of the semester the society watches the first episodes of these anime and each member votes for the series they would most prefer to watch. 

This is done for two categories - Main and Extra. Aswell, each week we preview a few anime, usually something currently airing or a classic anime. We then watch a couple of episodes of the anime voted by the society. Mains are 2 cour shows (23-26 episodes) while Extras are 1 cour shows (11-14 episodes)

We also have activities on Fridays, which by default are our friendly 'chat and chill' meet-up for socializing with others with similar interests at 6:00 PM, usually in building 34/3011, but starting this year (2024/25) we will also have other activities such as manga reading (where some manga will be provided), group vidoegames, and other such things that relate to our interests. Please message tell us about things you'd like to see!

We plan additional events throughout the year such as pub socials, seasonal movie showings (Halloween, Christmas, Easter), Christmas Meal, Cinema trips, Conventions, End of Year BBQ.
