BSUJAS is Ball State University's Japanese Animation Society. We meet, we watch anime, we talk about stuff, and just generally make geeks out of ourselves. We hold general public free anime showings weekly and put on other events throughout the year.

BSUJAS aims to spread awareness of Japanese animation, aka anime, both as an art form and a form of entertainment. To promote the concept that anime is much more than porn and Pokemon( or naruto, or sailor moon, or...well, you get the point). And so on and so on...

Once a week we meet to watch showings of popular anime titles both new and old. Also, we have special showings in pruis hall several times a semester, and club functions(dances, field trips, contests, and specialty nights.) Warning; FAQ mostly ganked from old website and in need of update. please bear with us.

According to the Ball State mandated clause in our club constitution, yes. However, we do have active/honorary members that are far older/slightly younger than the typical college student age. Really, you just have to show up to meetings and (hopefully) pay your dues. Note, however, that if you are a minor, you will not be allowed into certain specialty nights (Ex. Hentai night). This is just a protective measure, and it is non-negotiable.

You DO NOT have to pay dues to come to the weekly meetings or manager's meetings.

They are! 6:00 in Student Center 305. SC is currently under rennovation, so please use the south and west doors. the multipurpose room. they probably will be until they finally tear down the student center.

Problem A: you're coming to club to find new anime! club would be really boring if we only watched stuff everyone had already seen. Don't worry about seeming like a newb, everyone starts somewhere.

Problem B: Thanks for sharing- you are going to share it with the club, right? Don't feel you have to prove your Anime Expertise- we just want you to come to club. If you happen to have 5 gajillion anime series to share, so much the better.

Many club members put on C-kon in the past, but there are no plans at this time to re-create this convention. However, you may swing by the cube during a managers' meeting in order to pick up your very own uber-nifty c-kon 2002 hat, free of charge!

for more information, please see the C-kon page.

If you would like to put in motion a new indiana anime convention, come to the manager's meeting and get your ideas heard.

Manager's meetings are held once a week (on fridays at 5, this semester) in the Ball State University Student Center student organization offices (in the back of the student art gallery). At these meetings we discuss club issues, showings, upcoming events, and fundraising, among other things.

Yes they can, so long as they are somehow affiliated with the JAS. In fact, we encourage you to do so, as it is at these meetings that we decide what we're showing for the semester, when events will be held, and most anything regarding the future of the club. So, if you feel that something should be done differently or that we should be watching different shows, the only way to change that is to attend the weekly manager's meetings. Those that attend are the club's voice, and if you don't attend, the same people who come to every manager's meeting are the ones who will decide what to watch by virtue of sheer number.

First, you could email the president at bsujas2@yahoo.com and ask to be put on the list. OR you could go there directly and add yourself.

Alternately, we now have a facebook group, and a livejournal community. The same information should be at all three places, so run a quick search for BSU JAS!

For the love of your deity of choice, drop this argument. No one wants to hear it, and besides, with the advent of DVD's, you can pick the language when you watch it. In club, we've already voted on what to watch how, so if you're unhappy with it, too bad. If you really can't stand it, go outside until the show is over, and borrow it later to watch at home.
