Ani-Mania was started to make connections with fellow Otakus who enjoy Anime, Cosplay, Gaming and Mangas. The two main purposes of Ani-Mania are: 1) For Otakus to make connections to one another through the common interest of Anime, Cosplay, Gaming and Mangas and 2) To increase Otakus access to Anime. Our primary focus area will be La Mirada and the surrounding cities in a 10-15 mile radius but, we are an all inclusive group. The only restriction that I need to put up is that this is an 18+ group. There are some Animes out there that are geared more towards adults and therefore hence the restriction. Any Otaku 18 or older is permitted to join.

    "I guess a beach party would be nice. Also, I'd like to suggest that on June 23rd or June 30th, that we go see Pixar's new animated movie Brave. It looks immensely entertaining (and cute) and I thought that we can all enjoy seeing it together."
