Anime Banzai is an educational convention focusing on Japanese anime (animation), manga (comics) and culture. Anime Banzai is sponsored by The End of the World Anime Club located at Salt Lake Community College. In 2005, the first Anime Banzai was held and had 600 attendees, which was double what they had expected. Even though The End of the World is in charge of Banzai anyone is welcome to head up a committee, volunteer the day of, be a panelist or just show up and have fun!
