What We Are
We are the official Anime and Manga Student Organization for the
University Of Missouri-Columbia. We started the fall semester '94, but
unfortunately things didn't quite fall into place until winter
semester '96. Now we are officially recognized by the university and
are granted all the privileges and responsibilities associated with
that affiliation.
What We Do
We are just the same as every other fan organization out there. We
just LOVE anime! To that effect, then, we want it to be as publicly
known as possible. The more the public knows about anime and manga, the better the chance it has of being accepted by the masses. We are
constantly struggling to get the mass conception of anime away from
the "it's nothing but sex and violence" stereotype that has been so
well perpetuated in America. Anime is so much more than that as it
spans across all genres, from adventure to drama, action to comedy,
not to mention its use as an art form itself. Our goal, our purpose, is
to start (or to help along) the anime revolution that will sweep
America and get anime publicly accepted, in all of its shapes and
forms.
