NYC Anime & Gaming Meetup Group

Our Discord community is where anime and manga fans in NYC connect every day, and every other week we take the community offline with a trip to Books Kinokuniya! It’s the perfect chance to connect in person, browse new releases together, and spend the day surrounded by fellow fans.

Whether you’re collecting manga, reading your first series, hunting for figures, or just looking to make friends with people who share your interests, we’d love to have you join us.

📅 When: Every other week (see event date & time)

📍 Where:
Books Kinokuniya
1073 6th Ave, New York, NY 10018

✨ What to expect:

• 📖 Browse manga, light novels, and art books
• 🛍️ Check out anime figures, collectibles, and Japanese gifts
• 🤝 Meet fellow anime and manga fans from the Discord
• 💬 Share recommendations and discover new series
• 🍜 Optional food, coffee, or bubble tea after the meetup

Our Discord is the heart of the community. That’s where we chat throughout the week, share anime and manga recommendations, game together, vote on future meetups, and keep everyone updated on upcoming events.

Whether you’ve been in the server for years or are just discovering us, we’d love to have you. Come hang out online, then join us at Kinokuniya for our next meetup! 📚✨

If you've been hanging out in the Discord, you already know the vibes. Since we've been doing this consistently (and it's been a blast), we're making it an official weekly community event!

🗓 When: Saturdays at 5:00 PM
📍 Where: 499 President St. Game Room

Every week we'll get together to watch a few episodes of anime, play games, hang out, and inevitably end up debating power scaling, ranking openings, or going completely off-topic.

We'll keep rotating anime picks and taking suggestions from the community, so everyone gets a chance to influence what we watch. Nothing overly structured—just a consistent place to unwind, meet people, and have a good time.

Not in the Discord yet? That's where we vote on shows, chat throughout the week, coordinate events, and keep the community going between meetups.

Whether you've been here since day one or you're brand new, we'd love to have you. Grab a snack and pull up. 💫

Whether you're catching up on your current series, discovering something new, or just looking for a chill way to spend the afternoon with fellow anime fans, we'd love to have you join us.

Bring your favorite manga, a blanket or towel if you'd like, and enjoy a laid-back afternoon of reading, conversation, and making new friends.

📅 When: Every week (see event date & time)
