Purpose
Cal-Animage is a loose confederation of clubs. We all share the common goals of promoting anime in the U.S. and have the "official" goal of promoting cultural understanding through the international medium of Japanese animation. Cal-Animage is now the largest network of anime clubs in the world. Cal-Animage thrives on the diversity of its clubs and each works through its own unique position to spread anime and its diverse messages throughout the world.
