IIT Kanpur Anime Society The Anime Society provides an open & inviting environment for students interested in Anime, Manga/Comics including western animated content. Anime refers to the animation style originated in Japan. It is characterized by distinctive character features and background that visually and thematically set it apart from other forms of animation. Manga is Japanese for "comics".

The Anime Society invites everyone to participate in all activities, so as to introduce anime to a brand new audience. This lets everyone find something special to them and re-discover themselves during the same.

Events
Events are of a rich variety so that there is something for everyone. These include anime screening events, discussions, quizzes, and cosplay etc.

Quizzes
Quizzes testing anime and manga knowledge are held occasionally, especially as a competition between individuals or teams as a form of entertainment. These encourage people to share and explore various aspects of anime and the anime industry. Generally, a friendly quiz is organized particularly for the freshers’ at the beginning of the odd semester to familiarize the upcoming batch with anime. Quiz-enthusiasts also enjoy these events irrespective of their anime knowledge.

Cosplay
Cosplay events are mainly divided into two parts: Stage performance: This event is for freshers’ only and is held along with ‘Fashion Show’ organised by the Films and Media Club. In this event, participants display their costumes onstage as a group. Photo submissions: This is more of a competition-based event. This has been included in the inter-pool cultural championship ‘Galaxy’ for several years in the past. Winners are awarded points which add up in the pool total.

Discussions
Anime discussions are held occasionally, both formally and informally. Various aspects such as the cinematography, culture, music, art, philosophy and psychology related to specific or connected anime and mangas are discussed.

Screenings
Anime screenings are held regularly in the Open Air Theatre or Lecture Hall Complex. We generally show anime movies and ongoing anime series.

Marathons
Marathons are basically binge-watching short anime series with several other members of the Anime Society. Anime marathons are generally more informal than screenings.

Cult Pavilion
The Anime Society was a part of the Cult Pavilion which was held for the first time in 2018. This is a part of the Orientation program organised for freshers. A short introduction of Anime and Manga is given to everyone along with mini-games such as crosswords and puzzles etc.

VN Playthroughs
Visual Novel is an interactive game genre, which originated in Japan, featuring text-based story with narrative style of literature and interactivity aided by static or sprite-based visuals, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage). As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels. Playthroughs are streamed using websites such as “Twitch” which can be viewed from anywhere. Steins;Gate VN playthroughs have been the most popular ones in the recent past.

Pokémon Showdown Tournaments
Pokémon is an anime we all grew up watching and loving but many people don’t know about it’s competitive side. We organize tournaments of various kinds on Pokémon Showdown, a free pokémon battle simulator, in which both experienced and new players can participate and enjoy the nostalgia. Don’t think it will be easy to win battles though as there are tons of mind games involved to trick your opponent and many experienced players out there!

Podcasts
Themed and non-themed podcasts are organised on a regular basis via Discord Voice Channel. These are usually announced on the same day. People share and listen to Anime OSTs together. A wide variety of audiences enjoy such podcasts.

Fanart
IIT Kanpur Anime Society also encourages talented artists by displaying their anime artworks via Facebook and Instagram handles.
