Our mission continues to grow as we celebrate the full array of Japanese pop culture – including anime, cosplay, gaming, tokusatsu, kaiju, J-cinema, and so much more. Founded in 2023 and stemming from a team with a deep history in the region, AnimeNJ++ represents a premier home for all fans to come and enjoy a weekend filled with fandom magic.
