ABOUT US
PURPOSE
The purpose of Anime Ichiban is to promote the understanding of the art form of Japanese animation and Japanese culture.
NAME
Anime is the Japanese term for animation. As anime has diffused around the world, the term has come to mean specifically animation from Japan, although many other countries have similar styles or have adopted anime styles.
Ichiban in Japanese means "Number One!" That makes us the "Number One!" anime club at Louisiana Tech!
HISTORY
Anime ichiban has been around at tech for about 8 years now. Our first president was a girl named Pan who had a fondness for pandas and the character Genma Saotome (from the anime Ranma 1/2), so the image of the panda has been enshrined in our club logo. At its inception, Anime ichiban was a relatively small group and only in recent years has it grown to its current size.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Anime Ichiban has sponsored cosplay Halloween parties and video gaming tournaments. Come to the meetings and check the website announcements of future events.
