Aimee Yang
Hi! I’m Aimee, a first year Cognitive Science major at Muir. My personal genre preferences are slice of life anime and horror manga! In my free time I draw and play (puzzle) visual novels, with Ace Attorney being my current favorite. I’m a big fan of K-Pop girl groups (my favorites are IVE, NewJeans, and Twice, but I’m familiar with basically every popular girl group). Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about drawing or anything else!

Alee Ong
Hi hi! I’m Alee and I’m a 2nd year Applied Mathematics major at Warren. My favorite genres in anime and manga are comedy, slice of life, and fantasy. I tend to read more manga than watch anime just because I read very quickly. And I also like to play games but I’m into mainly JRPGs. The Atelier series is one of my favorites for how they integrate slice of life with fantasy. But I enjoy other series like Persona, Tales, Rune Factory, Danganronpa, and Fire Emblem. I also play a lot of gacha games (PAD, Genshin, HSR). I’m into a lot of niche series (like ORV, TCF, RPG-Maker Horror games, Epithet Erased) so if you ever want to talk about them send me a DM in discord. I hope you enjoy AME!

Ann Chwu
Hello, I’m Ann, but I also go by Pika! I’m a cogsci - design and interaction major from ERC. I love a lot of shows with cute girls: Madoka Magica, Hidamari Sketch, Yuru Camp, to name a few. I also really enjoy other random shows, such Mawaru Penguindrum, Odd Taxi, Silver Spoon, and I usually keep up with what's popular. I don't read manga as much, but my favorites are Oyasumi Punpun, Fruits Basket, and Houseki no Kuni. Outside of anime and manga, I love games like Undertale/Deltarune, Omori, and other RPGmaker type things. If you like any of these things or have a recommendation, feel free to reach out to me! I hope you have a fun experience with AME!

Brandon Tse
Heyo! My name's Brandon and I'm a third year Human Biology major at ERC. I don't watch as much anime as the other people on the board, but I still have my favorites list (currently Kimi no Na wa/Tenki no Ko/Suzume no Tojimari, 86, A Silent Voice, and Bocchi the Rock). The thing I'm a bigger into is collecting anime vinyl records, whether it be OPs/EDs or full OSTs (and I'm always hyped to share my collection)! I also play my fair share of gacha games since.... I have nothing better to do... Currently on the list is Genshin Impact, Arknights, and Honkai Star Rail, so shoot me a message if you ever want to add me!
