We hope it provides a safe space for people who like all things anime, including cosplay, gaming, and geek culture. With this group, you can expect events like conventions, films at local theaters, seasonal anime screenings, arcade nights, and more!
Our reoccurring events include the following:
- Seasonal Anime Screening (once a season)
- Picnic/Potluck (once a season)
- Arcade Nights (every month)
- Bring Your Own Manga Book Club (every month at a new coffee shop)
If you have any event suggestions feel free to message to the organizers. If you would like to host events, don't hesitate to reach out. :D
We have a girl's group (get in touch with Neikey, one of our organizers), and a guy's group (get in touch with Mike, one of our organizers) to provide a safe space for people and allow people to hang out offline.
