Club Info


What is the UBC Anime Club?

The UBC Anime Club is a university school club based in the University of British Columbia. The purpose of the club is to provide a get-together place for all Japanese anime or game fans, on or off campus, to gather, relax and basically have fun.

What does the club do?

  • Showings! That's when we gather in a lecture hall every other Friday night to watch anime on the big screen! (or you can just mingle and talk with other members if you've already seen the series we're showing ;P) See News and Updates for schedule and locations!
  • Borrow DVDs: we have a collection of hundreds of anime DVD all free for the members to borrow! Check out the Library section for more details!
  • Outtings: From movies to sushi nights, we need more time to mingle than those every other Friday nights to survive the school year, am I right? ;D
  • Panels: Ever wonder how those are done?? Learn about art, cosplay and other anime (somewhat) related skills and crafts during our showings!
  • Cosplay Dances: We usually organize a cosplay dance every Halloween and Valentine, shed the anime fans = single geeks stereotypes and come out to dance with the opposite sex! :D
  • Contests: If you're good at cosplaying or drawing, why not get something out of it? :P Come participate in our cosplay or art contest to win some great prizes!

Where to sign up?
