Mission Statement
We of the Oahu Anime Explorer believe that the desire to learn is paramount when attempting to learn about Japanese language and culture. By promoting an interest in Anime and Manga we believe that we will also create the desire to learn more about Japan and its people. We believe that by seeking out and presenting the latest Anime and by showing it both in its original language as well as with the most accurate translations we can increase interest in and understanding of the Japanese and their culture. We also hope to improve the understanding of the Japanese language through exposure to it. We of the OAE also believe that by seeking other activities such as travel, participation in cultural events and exposure to other media such as live-action programs we can further gain understanding and appreciation of the Japanese culture. We of the OAE wish to increase contact and interchange between all fans of Anime and Manga. To this end we wish to act as liaison between Anime and Japanese clubs of all kinds throughout the islands.

MechaHawaii's Halloween Customer Appreciation Night
For the third consecutive year, on October 25th Sean will open the doors of MechaHawaii for a night of cosplay and Mechasized fun! Things are being planned as we speak, so stay tuned for more information. We can assure you it will be a lot of fun again in 2008!
Halloween in Waikiki version 2008
We will start the night at Gyukaku for dinner at 6pm. Then we will head on out on the streets of Waikiki to parade our best cosplay for Hawaii to see. Then, we head on over to GS Studio for a night of Karaoke fun by 10:30pm, and possibly a karaoke contest! Once we are done there, for those wishing not to drive out of Waikiki, we will be at an all new HOTEL for us! Please contact us if you are wishing to come with us to Waikiki, as we need to make a head count for dinner at Gyukaku and GS. Also, if you wish to stay over in the hotel we will need to know that as well.
Anime Expo 2009
We are now planning another trip to Anime Expo in 2008. Stay tuned for more information, and we will also be posting a travel guide for those going to AX as well.

Our sponsors!
Remember, when the U.S. releases are out please buy them from our faithful sponsors of the club! Without the sales of U.S. releases, we would lose backing to events we all love, like all of the anime conventions across the U.S. that we go to. We are here to just show you what is out there and will be coming to the U.S. and please support the U.S. industry for your collections. On our current list of sponsors to support, the following are the stores and companies that have supported us in our many events and outings...
OK Anime
Anime in the Limelight...
They are back! Max and the Anime in the Limelight are back on the internet radio waves! Since 1997, former J.A.S.H. members and Hawaii residents now residing in Las Vegas were putting on this radio show for all anime otakus in Hawaii. Recently, these guys pulled up stakes and moved to Sin City. Now, in 2008 they restarted the show and here it is! I've know Max for the longest time, and when he's back in Hawaii we always have a great time with the gang here. Hopefully, you will enjoy this internet radio show as much as we do!
HenshinTV.com
HenshinTV is a web TV program, focusing in on the japanese pop culture in the United States. This site is still in the building process, but we have seen the previews and the show looks very promising. Also, our own Yoshiki Takahashi will be doing some guest commentary on future episodes dealing with Hawaii's japanese pop culture.
