What weâre about
Welcome to The Melbourne Anime Club!! We began in 2013 back in a TINY library room watching anime in only yellow and blue. Since then the club has grown immensely and we have upgraded to a state of the art theater space within the Docklands library. This group is highly inclusive and is 100% not for profit. Our long standing success is because of YOU, our members who have supported us all this time with feedback, suggestions for improvements and donations big or small.Â
THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO MAKE SOME GOOD FRIENDS! :D
People come to join our club from all over the world, whether they are local regular member, temporary residents, or tourist passing through. We value each and every person who comes to visit and we most certainly extend our welcome to you!!
In this group, you will find many different types of people who come together to watch anime, chat over dinner, and play a game or two after. You don't need to be extroverted but we do encourage you to talk to someone who you haven't gotten to know yet and you can talk about the anime screened prior to dinner and get to know other members very well over games! We expect everyone to be respectful and non-judgmental. If you run into any issues, speak privately with any of the friendly officers who will be glad to help out!
Whether you are already a hardcore anime fan or just a curious passer-by, come join us and be a part of the largest anime community in Melbourne CBD.
This club is completely not-for-profit and we welcome all members of the public.Â
We do however require that you are over 18 or be accompanied by an adult as we can not guarantee that all Anime will be suitable for all ages.
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE ANIME CLUB! :) Join our wholesome community now!

âŒïž IMPORTANT REMINDER âŒïž No Weapons Policy for Cosplayers for all MAC Events
For the safety of all attendees all weapons, replicas, toy weapons of any kind are NOT permitted. This includes real, bladed, or explosive weapons, as well as any props that look like a weapon (replicas, toys, etc.). We take this policy very seriously and will be very strict.
We encourage cosplayers not to bring a weapon element at all and any props will be subject to inspection. If a prop is found to violate this policy, you will be asked to leave and will be subject to ban as it shows lack of respect and consideration for community safety. Refunds will not be processed in such circumstance.

Some insight for newer members:
It's a natural process to feel a little anxious attending a large event you have never experienced before. During sign ins our leadership team will naturally be busy however our meet & greet volunteers will do their best to say 'Hello' to everyone and perhaps connect you to others. If for some reason this does not happen (because it's really busy), don't fret! Our ice breaker games are designed to help everyone bond over a shared experience. You should expect adults having fun and letting lose whilst being challenged to push some comfort zones which we invite you to do as well! The games are suppose to be silly to help people come out of comfort zones and get to know someone new. We will then take a break to watch anime and we really do encourage you to stay for games after dinner which is when our team gets a breather and a good chance to get to know our newer members better in a quieter setting! We have witnessed many wonderful long term friendships formed at MAC amongst our members - We do hope you join us!THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS
A big thank you to everyone who RSVPs - This money helps with the club's upkeep and hiring of the venue! We are completely NOT-FOR-PROFIT and we sincerely appreciate your contributions!! Raffle tickets will be available on the day to further support our MAC community!!â€**::MELBOURNE ANIME COMMUNITY ONLINE::**â€
