The Anime Club has officially been established at the start of the 2010 school year at Sparta High School. You may be wondering: What is Anime? Anime comes from Japan and refers to a unique style of animation that is a relatively new form of art/entertainment in western culture.
Members of the High School's Anime Club meet every Thursday under the supervision of English teacher Troy Tiedens. During these weekly meetings, students enjoy role playing and learning the Japanese culture. "Once a month, I give Japanese lessons to other members interested in learning their language." stated Senior Nikki Naumann, who is the club's Secretary/Treasurer.
Although the Anime Club is still trying to gain recognition, students at SHS have met informally since the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. "I first got into Anime Club as a Freshman, back when it was still very informal. We met at the public library whenever we had a chance. The club kind of died my Sophomore year because our president was getting involved with the military. By my Junior year the club had been taken over by new leadership and has steadily progressed ever since." Naumann explained.
The Anime Club will be attending No Brand Con X in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on April 15-17, 2011. At this time, members will dress up in various costumes. "We have a lot of fun during this convention!" added Naumann. They are always looking for new members to join. If interested, stop in and talked to Mr. Tiedens or find one of the Anime Club members!
