Humble Beginnings

As soon as Anigumi Joukai was founded on June 5, 2010, the group planned the first photoshoot. It was at Angelicum School on June 27, 2010. Everybody was a noob back then.

Anijins join Earth Hour 2013

SM City Iloilo annually joins saving mother earth. Anigumi Joukai has been yearly invited in their event and its the third time the guild joined them. Guess what? Anijins were asked to have a group advocacy in the event. The guild officers took it a long while to settle for one, until it was decided to be:

"Anigumi Joukai will do the harlem shake, If you will use SM City Eco bags."

The hour long event was definitely fun.

Anijou's J-Fashion Walk

If last year Anigumi Joukai had a costrip, this year marked on the 4th Saturday of March like last year, Anijins went fashionable all the way. Considered to be memorable to since some anijins who were under probation were proclaimed by the president, Jherben Lagon, as official members. This event was not only limited to anijins alone but also to those who were interested to be part of the fashion walk.

Anijou Uniform

"Clothing of distinctive design worn by members of a particular group as a means of identification"

Anijins have longed plan of making an official Anijou Uniform. Since from the very beginning, guildmates have been vocal about it.  A lot of Anijins were suggesting and contributing designs for the uniform. Along with the uniform, a badge was also made for it. Kitsune, the first president of the guild, designed the badge.

first proposed badge for the uniform

Unfortunately, the planned uniform was not able to push through until the 4th president of the guild took charge. With some suggestion of Lee Mizuumi and Nyanpire Elisis, Jherben sketched the uniform and it then became the official Anijou Uniform. This time around, a new badge was design by Carmel, a pioneer and core member of Anigumi Joukai.
