Welcome to the university of derby anime & manga society minisite!

Founded in 2005, and crowned Society of the Year 2013/14, we're known for our weekly meetups, where we watch anime of a certain theme selected by our members alongside a running series. However, we also run a variety of other events!
 
These include:

  • Art and Manga workshops -  A meet to plan and create cosplays in a chill environment with friends. This is open to all skill ranges, and we have experienced cosplayers available who can lend a hand to beginners. Manga from the society collection will also be available during these sessions, which members which members can freely read and discuss. We also plan on setting up a library system, in which members will be able to loan out the manga from the society collection.

  • Trips to national conventions -  Our current plan is to visit three cons this academic year, those being MCM Birmingham (1-3 December), Megacon Birmingham (23-24 March) and MCM London (No date released yet, but will likely be May). The specific day we will visit each con will be announced closer to their dates. The society will subsidise part or all of the transport cost, depending on the con, however con tickets will still need to be paid for by attendees.
     
  • Weekly socials at local pubs -  This is almost always following the second weekly meetup of the week.
     
  • Plus many more! 

Weekly meetups will run between 17:00 and 2:00, but as of yet do not have a set date schedule. We will set up a schedule as soon as committee timetables are available.

Our Give It A Go sessions will be on held on the 20th September, and 22nd September from 17:00 until 19/20:00, with a social following the session of the 22nd. The rooms for these will be announced on the day in the Discord server, and we will be meeting at Starbucks beforehand, at 16:00. No membership is required to attend so feel free to turn up!

We hope to see you soon!
