| FOR THE ANIME COMMUNITY

Since 2004, UP AME’s most significant contribution to the anime community is the series of highly successful anime conventions it has organized and held every school year. These events not only propagate the culture of anime and manga but also provide a venue for gathering fans of anime and manga.

Throughout the year, UP AME also holds merchandise booths, film showings, and road paintings to promote anime and manga and its academic potential. Be sure to watch out for these!

| PAST EVENTS

UP AME has organized many convention-like events or Fairs. In these fairs, we hold a variety of different activities that suit the interests of anime and manga enthusiasts. These activities usually coincide with the decided theme for the fair, ranging from sumo battles and fortune-telling booths to karaoke contests and festival-style game booths. There is also a cosplay contest! In addition to these fun activities, we also invite various sponsors to sell their merchandise and/or to hold a workshop. There’s always something to do in a typical UP AME Fair!
