Once again, we're working on bringing you some of the biggest and best movies (as well as some short series) out of Japan.

Our popular annual event, we hold a Cosplay (Costume Play) contest on/near Halloween.  Costumes can be from your favorite series, video game or manga... as long as it's Japanese! Click on the appropriate year for information and pictures.

Lethbridge's own Anime festival! Held in the spring, Nishikaze is hosted on the University of Lethbridge grounds for all fans to attend.  Unfortunately, Nishikaze V will be postponed till next year (2010) due to certain factors.

As we head further north, we hit a much larger city and home to Otafest, the second largest anime festival located in Alberta held annually, usually around May.  It is a two day event where you can participate in activities such as cosplaying, AMV contests, special guest speakers, talk panels, and all that fun stuff.  They also have anime screenings and vendors.  You can visit them at www.otafest.com.

Animethon is the premiere Japanese Animation festival of Western Canada, held at the Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton every summer.  Three days of showings, events, cosplay and more await attendees of this annual event, now in its 16th year (2009).

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Kira/Light returns in the sequel to the first Death Note Live-Action movie, the man who believes he can rid the world of evil by murdering criminals through the powers of a notebook. Writing a name in the notebook will kill the person, provided that you also see his/her face beforehand.  And just as the first time, it is being shown in specially selected theatres across Alberta as a one-time event on December 3^rd, 2008. If you like Death Note, have an attraction to brilliant serial killers, or just like to see people die (you sick, twisted person, oh yes you are! You make Uncle Freddy all so very proud!), then don't miss this opportunity to see Death Note on a the big screens! For more information, please click here.

Looking for something specific but can't seem to find it anywhere, or at a decent price? Or maybe perhaps you have some anime/manga-related items you wish to get rid of and would like to make a few bucks off of it? In that case, JAMS is proud to host an auction, usually once or twice per semester, where you can sell off your old stuff or obtain used and new items at a suitable price. JAMS will only charge a small percentage of the earnings and the rest is all yours to keep!

Interested?  Awesome!  Please click here for complete Auction rules and more information.

Bleach - Memories of Nobody will be shown on the big screens in "High Definition" at selected theatres in Alberta on Monday, October 20^th, 2008. It will start at 7:00 PM and is rated 14A. As I am aware of, there seems to be one theatre in Lethbridge showing it, and that is the Galaxy Cinemas one (owned by Cineplex Theatres) in Park Place Mall. For more information, please check it out at www.cineplex.com.  It is also worthy to note that the language is in English (thus, dubbed), and not in the native Japanese language. If you like Bleach and don't mind it being English dubbed, then this is most definitely something to take a look at!

This year's first Meet 'n Greet will be located at Turcotte Hall in TH201, starting at noon on Friday, September 19^th, 2008. We will have activities, food, and anime! It is free of charge to attend and a perfect way to meet up with our current club executives, in addition to meeting new people and just having a fun time! Anybody is welcomed to join us!
