About the club
History and background
The Portland Community College Anime Club was revived in Fall of 2007 by Wendy Gleason and was later joined by Patrick Miller in the Winter 2008. In 2008 and 2009, the anime club had its most scheduled days of 3 days a week. In 2008 the Anime Club showed samplings of 80+ shows. The Cascade Anime Club has ties with the Sylvania campus's anime club and every once and a while continues to have contact. The Anime Club, while being small in size, has been running for seven plus years now and is still surviving in the digital age where streaming has become more common. The Portland Community College Continues to promote socialization, anime and activities as its main feature for club enjoyment.
The Portland Community College's purpose is to promote cross-cultural awareness of Japanese and East-Asian such as manga, anime, film, and costumes. The Club also expresses its freedom of activities hoping to provide a fun and friendly atmosphere for members and visitors. The Club's activities are viewing anime to cosplay creation. There have been active discussions/debates of Japanese and East-Asian culture and anime news and entertainments. The club has also had lectures and and participated in trips to conventions such as Kumoricon and also made a point to visit Asian restaurants to experience Asian and Japanese foods. On other club events have members partake in showcasing their collectables and other Asian items with members, providing information and sometimes lectures.
