What we’re about
Since 2014 the Louisville Anime Community has been a group for fans of all ages who appreciate Anime (Japanese Animation), whether you're new to the genre or an "oldy goldy" who subbed VHS back in the day. We endeavor to connect people with similar tastes, and create fun opportunities (conventions, meetups, etc) for anime & Japanese culture events in the Louisville / Southern Indiana region.
We originally started on Meetup and then moved off it for a time due to system changes. We have about 1.5K members on Facebook, and also exist on Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram.
