About DC Anime Club:
DCAC was established in 2003 to introduce and educate people in the

Japanese animation (also known as anime) and Japanese comics (manga). DCAC is a

The club also works to provide a positive, alternative activity to the
youth in the area by exposing them to foreign culture, encouraging artistic

community activities and leadership.
In addition to our bi-weekly meetings, the club holds an Annual Art Show,
an Annual Costume fundraising event, and visits local schools to do presentations
on anime. The club also works with the Smithsonian Freer Gallery and DC
Asian Pacific American Film Festival on their anime screenings, and has
helped locally promote performances for Japanese bands such as Puffy Ami Yumi
and Pine am. DC Anime Club was founded by Chris Wanamaker (President), Jules

teenagers.
