Hiya, mina-san~! Shiani here! With the con season over, it’s time for the execs at the UBC Anime Club to get ready for the new 2013 school year! Let’s jump right in >w<;;

First off, what is Imagine Day?

Imagine Day is an orientation day for new students to the University of British Columbia, the home of the UBC Anime Club!

During Imagine Day, the new students are led by their MUG leaders from their chosen faculty (Arts, Science, Engineering, etc.), where they can have their questions about school life answered, as well as get a thorough tour of the campus (which is HUUUGEEE * A *) before being taken to a pep rally in the Thunderbird Stadium! \(^▽^@)ノ

After the pep rally.. that’s where we come in! Clubs such as ours and sponsor companies set up booths across Main Mall, so that we can garner interest in potential new members.

Uwoooh~ So many people! * A *

The executives and even some of our members volunteered to wear stunning cosplays to attract as many potential contract-signees as possible! * ^*)99 Check some of them out:

During the event, we heard about a MUG leader dressed in a Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan cosplay! o A o!! After that, we were literally scouting out through the crowds to see if we can catch a glimpse of this wonderful person!

Lo and behold, she came to us! * w *
