Anime

Welcome to UWE Anime!

Our society invites anyone who shares interests in anything anime-related, regardless of how many shows
you have seen or how much manga you have read. To us, what matters is that everyone has a great time
no matter if they are new to anime or a veteran.

We aim to expand each member's experiences by showing a variety of genres and movies that you might have
never heard of while offering frequent socials so you can talk and discuss with friends made in the society.
We are a friendly society who are accepting of anyone, whatever your background, beliefs or sexuality.
And believe UWE Anime is a great opportunity to make friends who share a common interest.
We hope you will enjoy your time with us!

Sessions!

Our usual sessions are every Tuesday and Thursday and are focused on watching anime between 6-8PM, plus we also hold special events some Saturdays! You can visit our Discord and Instagram to keep up to date on how we'll handle our sessions in the first semester. You can also check our schedule to check our plans for the semester! This will always be up to date and also lists what is planned for every single week so you can decide what sessions you'd like to come to. The schedule is frequently updated so keep checking back!

Our Tuesday sessions are our variety nights, where we watch the first episode of a range of different shows. Each session has a theme, for example movie nights, genre nights, committee nights, or movie nights!

Our Thursday sessions are reserved for watching an entire season of a show, where each semester we choose a selection of shows to watch in full. Generally, we watch 2 or 3 shows at a time so there will be something for everyone!

Socials and Other Events:

We also have a variety of other events outside our main sessions too.

• Bubble Tea Socials - These take place in Bristol's Cabot Circus where we meet to drink bubble tea and socialize, something that has become a bit of a society tradition thanks to our previous Participation Officer. A lot of society members like to go to Yo Sushi after this too.
• Marathon Sessions - These are unique sessions where we watch an entire series in one sitting. These sessions usually last around 6 hours but are a great way to have some extended fun with the society!
• Gaming Nights - Members on our Discord server frequently get together to play games on a Wednesday night in Voice Chat. We also offer sessions on campus dedicated to playing all sorts of games with our community!
• Convention Trips - As mentioned above we have convention trips planned to MCM Comic Con Expo planned for this year. We offer members a notable discount on tickets. 
• Quizzes - We hold quizzes at the start of the year, at Christmas, and at Easter. Bring your friends to have some fun in an anime-related quiz and maybe even win some prizes!

There are also a few more events we have planned and there will be more information on these at a later date!

• Karaoke Nights
• End of Year Society Meal

Social Media and Contact Information:

We have two forms of social media - our Discord server and our Instagram, which will both be frequently updated with the latest information on society sessions and more. We will try to update this page with the most update to date information but our Discord and Facebook are the best ways to find the most update-to-date information.

If you would like to engage with our community outside of sessions or have any questions you want to ask, feel free to join one of these two or both. 

Our Discord server especially is active with people talking often and there is almost always a member of the committee online who can answer your questions. Alternatively, you can email us at uweanime@googlemail.com if you have a question for the committee.

Don't forget to use our schedule as a point of reference for what is going on in the society. It is always updated and has the latest information you'll need on what is happening on days and when!

Is it too late to join?

Nope! You can try out the society whenever you like!

Sessions are now member-only, but if you want to try out a session, just turn up and say you're new. We'll let you try out the session for free to see if you like it! We personally recommend turning up to a Tuesday session as those are always different each week, whereas Thursday sessions are continuations of the last Thursday.

If you liked the session, memberships are only £4.50 for Students and Associates and last until July 2025!

We hope to see you soon!
