Where are your events located?
Our preferred spots are within Chicago’s city limits, mostly in the Lakeview or Bucktown area. We select venues with great CTA access, ample parking, and pedestrian-friendly streets. Some are at private coworking spaces while others happen at restaurants, bars, and cafés where things are more organic.
How often do you watch anime?
We watch anime every three months at Anime Samplers and occasional movie outings. The rest of our events are focused on discussion and socializing with members.
Is AnimeChicago a convention?
No, we organize local meetups. Sometimes we’ll host an academic talk. But we love attending, promoting, and hosting panels and meetups at our favorite local conventions!
