Focus on Library Clubs | Anime Club

Manga are Japanese comics, and Anime is the Japanese version of animation. Anime is usually, but not always, the animated version of popular manga. In Japan however, Anime technically means any animated film, and "manga" is any printed cartoon, but people in the rest of the world take them to mean animated films or comics from Japan.

Anime club

From its roots in Japan, this cartoon form is now a worldwide phenomenem.

Here at St Patrick's, our Anime club has been running since the onset of clubs in the library, and has proven to be one of the more popular clubs. Anime runs every Friday during lunch in D24 and traditionally has an enrolment in excess of 30 students, with around 20 attending on any given Friday.

Movies, games quizzes: all of these are carefully chosen and executed by the facilitators of Anime; Simra, Heidi and Hannah. These three leaders are passionate about Anime and share their passion with the Anime cohort.

If you love Anime or are curious to learn more, please join us.
