Anime and Manga Society
Southampton Anime and Manga Society is a society dedicated to the mutual interest in anime, manga and other aspects of Japanese culture. https://discord.gg/wYqrtcy
Welcome to Southampton Anime and Manga Society (SAMS)! We're a society dedicated to Anime, Manga and other aspects of Japanese culture, meeting weekly on Wednesdays and Fridays.
For Wednesday sessions this year (2025-26) we are introducing a weekly quiz night (with prizes), followed by an hour of different anime previews each week. Suggestions for these previews will be collected in our first week. We encourage members to submit their own themed quizzes to be played by the rest of the society, so please contact us if you are interested!
Friday sessions are for socials, and we endeavour to have a mix of pub socials and non-pub socials so that everyone can enjoy themselves and feel safe here. Alcohol will never be a compulsory or necessary component of any of our pub socials, so there is never any pressure to drink! As for our non pub socials, we have exciting things planned! This includes rhythm/video game tournaments, clay crafts nights, debate (or 'hear-me-out') nights, as well as more chill events like art night, manga + tabletop games café and so many more! We're always open to suggestions.
In addition to our regular sessions, we plan external events throughout the year such as trips to conventions (we have plans for MCM Comic Con London 2025), movie showings, Post-exams meal and our End of Year BBQ. We look forward to seeing you there!
