JMAC Meetings are on Mondays from 4pm to 9pm

Social Hour – 4pm

Social hour is a time for club members to (re)connect with one another through various activities. Regular social hours include playing card games, panel discussions, multi-player video games, and spontaneous dance parties. It’s a laid-back time for us to appreciate each other before appreciating the weekly showing. 

PowerPoint
Each social hour concludes with club announcements in a PowerPoint presentation by JMAC’s vice president. Any member can contribute to the weekly PowerPoint by submitting a manga to be featured or a music video to be played at the meeting.

Weekly Showings – approx. 5:30pm
(after 5pm PowerPoint) 

Every week, members of JMAC watch about 4 episodes of Japanese media together, which can range from comedic anime series to dramatic live action movies. The weekly showing is voluntarily brought in by a club member. We ask that others observe showing rules designated by the club board members and any requests by the person who brought in the showing.

The General Meeting*
Instead of a weekly showing on the 10th week of the quarter, JMAC holds a general meeting. This is an especially important meeting for all club members because it is you who decides on what we do during the following quarter. At the general meeting, we…

• share likes/dislikes about the quarter’s showings
• share likes/dislikes about social events
• receive suggestions for group outings and events
• take volunteers for bringing in weekly showings for next quarter
• review and vote on a running series for next quarter

We openly welcome constructive criticism and always appreciate suggestions for the club!

Running Series – approx. 7:30pm

The running series is shown during each meeting throughout the quarter, which is either one 26ish-episode long series or two 13ish-episode long series. It is during the general meeting when club members nominate and vote for the running series that will be played during the following quarter.
