The event will be held on September 23-24, 2023.
Join the MAL Bunkasai Club for updates!


In Japan, culture festivals are created and hosted entirely by the students. Likewise, MAL Bunkasai is focused on showcasing our members' interests and talents, and creating new friendships between members—just like a culture festival in anime/manga. During other holidays, it's always the moderator team preparing themed events for the community. With MAL Bunkasai, we want to give all the creativity back to you.


Host An Event
Events can be held by an individual, a group of friends, or a MAL club that wants to showcase their club activities.

Various event ideas include:
  • AMQ Idol Song Showdown—Who really knows idol songs the best? Organize a competition to find out!
  • MAL Plays Gartic Phone—Create a few anime-related prompts (e.g. End of Evangelion scene) and send them around to other Bunkasai members to create one huge gartic phone-like gif made by the community.
  • VTuber livestream—New VTuber and want to get a larger following? Host a livestream on your channel and livestream it to a VR venue instance!
  • PV voice-over—Get Bunkasai members to create custom scripts and voice over PVs for anime with new and funny dialogs.
  • Anime Song Karaoke/Trivia—Host a karaoke event in the VR venue and get people to guess which song is being sang.
  • The list goes on!
Have a rough idea for an event but not sure how to execute it? We're here to help~

Submit your event idea here
Deadline: September 10


Design A New Theme
MAL Bunkasai is the one event per year where you can see your idea for a new About Me/List theme implemented on MAL.
Create a new theme in 10min or less with one of our easy-to-use forms. Winners will receive 1 year of MAL Supporter~

About Me Theme ✧ List Design Theme
Entry Deadline: September 10
Voting: September 17~23


Unfortunately, we will be unable to host the advanced version of these contests this year :<


Please consider hosting and/or submitting a design—MAL Bunkasai is only made possible thanks to you!

So I've been banned from MAL-Badges, after spending nearly two years of my time and dedication to helping out, being the club's spokesperson, and planning for the revamp, it all goes down the fucking drain. What a joke the club has become. I advise everyone to stop using the feature and stop showing their support for the site and the club. We were promised that we will see changes come to the site, and nothing's been done for the past year. I doubt the site will be touched for the foreseeable future. If you're angry and annoyed about the lack of development, then good, you should be.

If I can get like 30-40 people to say that they will definitely join, I will legit do it (I know of 5-10 people who would instantly join).

I was thinking of reading the first 3 volumes. I can host the event on the MAL Discord in VC and I can share my screen.

Edit: I've submitted my registration form.

@ateks You don't need to host an event in VR, you can just use the MAL Discord if you need or whatever other options the form has available.

Yeah but I was wondering because they mentioned it but I can't find it anywhere, maybe I'm just blind. I don't have Discord tho.

You used to be able to see it in the My Clubs section, looks like they removed it, though idk when.

For the theme competition, will gifs work for the background?
I have a patterned background I want to use that has a small animation and it will look boring if it doesn't move.

If I'm not allowed to do my live Kiss x Sis reading as I've been told by an admin beforehand, I will host an unofficial event and have it be bigger than whatever MAL comes up with.

I'll consider making a new sign-up post somewhere on MAL a few days beforehand and provide the invite link to a new discord group that I will host the event in. I'll most likely start the event Sunday night AEST (24th).
