WonderCon fills the Anaheim Convention Center with comics, sci-fi, fantasy, film, and the cosplay community that doesn't need a San Diego hotel room to have the time of their lives. Panels from top creators, artist alley discoveries, and a dealer's floor that takes hours to properly explore.

Day 2 at WonderCon Anaheim. The panels get bigger, the artist alley lines get longer, and the cosplay gets more elaborate. The second day is always the best.

The longest-running Renaissance faire in America. Eight weekends of jousting, turkey legs, period costumes, ale, and performances. The crowd is 60% costumed on a regular weekend. Anime fans, LARP players, cosplayers, and history nerds all coexist peacefully because everyone's too happy to argue. Runs every weekend April through May. This is the one.

The final arc of My Hero Academia is airing and San Diego's anime community is not watching it alone.

That someone might be you.

A micro-networking dinner series for anime fans in San Diego. Groups of 4-6 strangers are matched by age, hobbies, and interests, then sent to a different San Diego restaurant each week. You do not know where you're going until after you register. The anime edition brings together people who want to talk Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and whatever they've been watching alone for years. Recurring weekly. Exact restaurant revealed to registrants after sign-up. Organized by Ermantourage Sports. Follow @ermantourage on Instagram.

The Anime Watch San Diego community meets monthly. No formal agenda — just anime fans in a bar talking about what they're watching, what to watch next, and aggressively recommending shows to people who didn't ask. First Sunday of the month. Free to attend.

Dandadan Season 2 picks up where one of the most chaotic, tender, genuinely funny anime in recent memory left off — Okarun, Momo, and the supernatural nonsense that keeps pulling them back toward each other. Nerd Bar San Diego is screening the Season 2 premiere with the crowd that was already texting about it before the opening song ends. The show that proved shonen could be weird and still hit you right in the chest.

Season 3 of Spy x Family premieres and the SD anime community is gathering for the occasion. Anya's face alone is worth the trip. Come for the premiere, stay for the debate about whether Loid is actually starting to feel things or if he's still running the mission. We all know the answer.
