Home Committee Manga Library About Us Forum

UCL Union Anime Society


The UCL Union Anime Society is the anime and manga society for students of UCL. Whether you are new to anime or are already a fan, we will be able to show you something new! We have twice weekly showings throughout the term, supplemented by films and OVA's, and we hold votes so that members can take part in deciding what we watch.

We are a very social society, attending many events outside of showings such as the Japanese Arts Festival and MCM EXPO ? which we always provide subsidy for paying members of the society. We also arrange events such as gaming sessions, dinners, karaoke and get-togethers - this year we organised an inter-society quiz event for several anime societies around London, held at UCL, which was very successful! Our manga library is ever-growing, consisting of over 40 titles in total, which members are free to borrow from.

Although our showings are usually standard, very occasionally they do change so be sure to keep in touch. Do add yourself to our mailing list and come on IRC and the forum! Our forum is very active and shoutbox comments are often replied to within minutes. Drop by and say hello at: http://www.ucluanimesoc.org/forum/index.php - we can also be contacted via email on: animesoc@ucl.ac.uk or on facebook.
