Anime Club
“It’s like a sleep over every week.” – Anime Club Member (Y9)
Foxwell’s very own Anime Club welcomes members from all year levels to join our club to appreciate a range of anime with kind, like-minded peers.
Anime is a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children. The vibrant graphics often depict diverse characters in action-filled plots, often with complex narratives.
So far, the club have explored themes of friendship and self-esteem in ‘Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop’ (2021), and the theme of fate in the film ‘Your Name’ (2016).
No sign-up is required! Feel free to walk in to join our anime community at any time.
Our next film is ‘Weathering with You’ (2019), a fantasy which depicts a high school runaway’s friendship with a girl who can control the weather.
Anime Club meet every Thursday during the long break in H.3.33 (Senior Games Room). We hope to see you there.
