What is W.H.A.C.K.?
The Wheatland High Anime Club Kids... officially known as the WUHSD Anime Club...
is a group of like-minded students that promote the advancement of Asian
culture primarily through the medium of Japanese animation. Open to all
WUHS and ACE students, the Anime Club holds bi-weekly meetings, parties, and special workshops
as well as attending many local/regional events, parades, and Anime conventions. Read our club's Constitution and Bylaws
(16K PDF).
Although not accessible from school, WHACK does have a
MySpace page
maintained by a few current members. The intent of the MySpace page is for
current and alumni club members to connect with each other online. The
views and opinions shared via any MySpace page are not sanctioned or endorsed by
WUHSD or its staff.

Anime News Network
"The Internet's most trusted anime news source."
Anime News Network
was created as a news source that focuses on the medium of Japanese
Animation(anime) and Japanese Comics (manga). ANN was founded by
Justin Sevakis in July of 1998, and has since lead the online anime
news medium with a tradition of strong unbiased coverage of major breaking news.
With in-depth coverage, analysis and commentary to provide insight into the
world of anime and manga, ANN has been and continues to be the #1 English
language source for anime and manga news on the Internet. ANN's goal is to make
the latest, most comprehensive Anime news available to new fans and veteran
Otaku alike.
JGuide
Started in 1994, the Stanford Guide to Japan Information Resources (or "JGuide")
is a topically arranged directory of online information resources in and about
Japan. Much of the focus is placed on resources about Japan in the English
language, and visitors can use their search engine or dive right into their
topical subheadings. These sections include "Society & Culture", "Law &
Regulation", "Health & Medicine" and nine other areas (like
Anime/Manga). Each resource is annotated, along with information about when
the link was added to the site. The JGuide also contains a "Tools" area which
features links to information about currency conversion, weather, news outlets,
and other online gateways of note. The site also contains a link for users who
wish to submit an online resource for potential inclusion in the JGuide.
