The purpose of AnimEKU will be to propagate Japanese Culture through the popular medium known as Japanese Animation (or 'Anime' as it shall be further referred). Anime is a fast-growing concept in the United States since its origin in 1963. Many college students easily become engrossed in the involving plots, character depth, and beautifully inspiring animation. The American public is just now starting to embrace this 'alien' animation more then native 'cartoons'. Therefore, the club known as "AnimEKU" was formed to encourage enjoyment by many people of this medium, and to promote the awareness of the Japanese people and their intriguing culture.
