The Anime & Manga Community is a hub for fans to keep themselves up to date with Anime & Manga trends. You get to connect with millions of people from over 150 countries who share the same passion as you. Our aim is to be a spot for conversations on anime theories, events and fan culture.
Why Join the A & M Community?
The A & M community is meant for everyone. You could be someone who has never watched Anime and is curious about it. You might also be an artist who creates fan art or a theorist who is trying to bring out hidden meanings.
Beyond simply reading manga or watching shows, we want you to go deeper by discussing stories and sharing ideas. We are different from the ordinary fandom sites because we focus on meaningful discussion and creativity.
A & M Community Events & Activities
We embrace the idea that fandom is best enjoyed together. Instead of poring through chapters of Manga or binge-watching hundreds of Anime episodes alone, you get to enjoy more when you share ideas and reactions together with other people. Some of the ways you experience the A & M community include:
- Group watch parties
- Cosplay events
- Fan art challenges
- Theory discussions & debate sessions
Group Watch Parties
Group watch parties are arguably the most popular and exciting A & M Community event. Fans get to watch Anime episodes together in real time, enjoy the evolution of the story and experience the intense moments of the show.
Periodic chapter-by-chapter Manga reading sessions are also interesting. You and other enthusiastic people dissect the literature, explore the plot twists and observe the evolution of the different characters.
Cosplay Events
During Cosplay events, fans can bring Anime and Manga characters to life. You dress like your favourite characters from Anime or any related media. There is no need to be 100% accurate. Fans just come together to show confidence, creativity and unity.
As an A & M community member, you can build artistic skills such as prop-making, sewing and makeup use. Events usually come under themes such as Villains Week, new-gen anime and classic heroes and heroines.
Fan Art Challenges
Fan art challenges help you to express your passion for Anime and Manga through painting, drawing, AI-generated images and digital art. You can submit your artwork and the A & M community will view and appreciate it. People will give feedback and the community will grow.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist. The goal is creativity, not competition. Challenges usually come in the form of themes like “Create an original Manga character”, “Recreate a classic Anime character” or “Reenact your favourite scene”.
Theory Discussions & Debate Sessions
Debate sessions and theory discussions form the intellectual core of A & M Community events. You look beyond the surface stories of shows and literature while exploring deeper meanings. In theory discussions and debate sessions, fans get to think about the motivation of different characters in Anime & Manga, as well as plot twists.
You connect the dots on subtle details that others have missed and share predictions about upcoming storylines. You and other fans get to debate how a story will end or analyse a character’s true intentions. You get to defend your ideas and challenge popular narratives.
Popular Themes and Genres
Anime and Manga come in different categories. This factor makes them appealing to a wide range of audiences worldwide. Japanese comics and animations cover everything from philosophy and fantasy to science fiction and everyday life. Some popular genres you will encounter on the A & M Community include:

- Science fiction (sci-fi): Science fiction aims to take the A & M community fans to the future. Some of the themes you will encounter include space travel, alternate realities, artificial intelligence and genetics. You will see things like cybernetic enhancements, virtual reality and robots.
