Position: President
My name is Josh Wonderlick, but I also go by J Wonda a lot. I’m a second-year Economics major looking to concentrate in finance so feel free to ask me how to make money. Also if any of you have parents who own businesses in OC or LA hit me up cause I’d love to work for them next summer . I would say my taste in shows are very mainstream with AOT, CSM, JJK, (certified MAPPA glazer), K-pop Demon Hunters and One Piece being my favorite anime/manga. I’m the most well versed officer in sports so if any of you like watching football, basketball, baseball, or open wheel racing you can come talk to me. For now I work at the Chick Fil A on campus so if I see you in line I might be able to get you a bit extra. If you ever see me miss a meeting it’s probably bc work, or I’m watching my pookie Charles Lecerlc winning a race (Ferrari copium). Oh yeah I forgot I also did track and cross country in high school so if I critique the running shows form I apologize.
Position: Treasurer
Hi!!! My name is Alan Castro ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა. I’m a 2nd year Nutrition Major hoping to get my masters in Food Science. I don’t like going outside much (unless I'm hanging out with friends) but if you do somehow find me please come and say hi, I promise I don’t bite >⩊<. The things that bring me great joy is playing long lasting video games (exps. League, R6, Deadlock, Grow a Garden), lifting super heavy weights (screw leg day), and driving my green lambo (civic). Overall, I would say I am a very **normal** guy, so if you’re **normal** too then we should get along very well (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ.

Position: Secretary
Hello, my name is Danny Kirsten. I am a second year Experience Industry Management major. This is my first year being an officer. I thought I watched a lot of anime until I joined this club, so if you have any questions about that, you might want to ask someone else. Besides anime, I like sports, music, and gaming, so if any of that interests you, feel free to talk to me. My favorite sports team is the San Francisco Giants, so if you’re also a fan, feel free to come up and talk, or if you just wanna talk about whatever.

Position: Webmaster
Hello my name is Jonathan Martin, I’m a 4th year Computer Science Major. The first anime I watched was Yu-Gi-Oh on 4kids tv and I watched it up until GX. I tend to watch anywhere from shounen to slice-of-life anime, but really only dislike horror cause there’s NO good horror anime. If you want to see what I’ve watched head to my MAL, however, I only made it 2 years ago so it only contains shows I remember watching. Also, I love playing multiplayer and single player videogames as well as the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG/Master Duel if anyone likes that too so we can play together :)
Favorite Anime: JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure: Golden Wind, Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto Shippuden, Nichijou, Baki, Madoka Magica, Toradora, Naruto Shippuden
Favorite Manga: I don’t read

Position: Scribe
Hey, my name is Gavin and I am a third year physics major and I am the scribe (officially I just take notes and unnofficially I am in charge of trivia). Usually I point to Vinland Saga as my favorite anime, Berserk as my favorite manga, and Silent Voice as my favorite movie. I generally like darker shows/themes, and some other favorites include Lain, Monster, Violet Evergarden, and Kaguya Love is War. I'm also a huge fan of video games, playing all sorts of stuff. Personal favorites for those are RDR2, Library of Ruina, Astlibra, Nier Replicant, and Clair Obscur.
Position: Event Coordinator
I’m a fourth-year biochem major from San Diego. I don't watch anime consistently, but I generally appreciate good world building, characters, and especially soundtrack. I use MAL kinda like a tier list but my favorites are JJK, AOT, Made in Abyss, Frieren, and Oshi no Ko. I'm passionate about music; my favorites are Pop, Rock, and many kinds of Electronic, plus I follow plenty of Japanese artists and the vocaloid scene so I'm always down to talk. You will see me wearing concert merch frequently. I play a lot of video games, mostly RPG’s, Gacha, and Rhythm games (definitely no LoL). I’ve been doing parkour and freerunning for like 6 years with my brother and I have a job teaching parkour to kids here in SLO. I did track in high school and have been in hiking club on-n-off since coming to Cal Poly, so I can stay semi-athletic.
