History
Ancient Records Reveal that the AMS has been creatively acquiring anime since February of 2002 when it first started meeting in the dark caverns of HIG 110. Since then it has moved to Moore Hall (2003-2004), Kuykendal Hall and Miller Hall (2005), and then Kuykendall and Holmes Hall (2006-2009). Since Fall 2005 the club has met year round – including summer sessions at UH. We have had 2 Monbusho scholars, international students, legions of officers have been sent forth to Japan to study abroad, and two student films have been made about us. We have been the subject of academic research 3 times (that we know of!)
Headquarters
