Cal Animage Alpha

★★★ Vol 49, Issue 11: The KyoAni Issue ★★★ Konshuu is a publication created by Cal Animage Alpha, a student-run organization at the University of California, Berkeley. Cal Animage Alpha (CAA) was established in 1989, and additional Cal Animage chapters were formed at other universities in the following years. Notably, our alumni are famous for founding Anime Expo, Fanime, and the streaming service Crunchyroll. We remain an active club on the UC Berkeley campus with showings, workshops, and game nights. Cal Animage Alpha is comprised of students at UC Berkeley along with a growing alumni network of several generations. We strive to maintain and enhance a community for fans of Japanese popular culture and media, particularly anime and manga. Above all, Cal Animage Alpha aims to be an inclusive social club for the Berkeley community. The majority of our events are also open to the general public. Our most prominent event is Anime Destiny, an annual anime convention held on UC Berkeley’s campus.
