Coming Soon
Dungeon Meshi — Special Screening SD
Dungeon Meshi — Delicious in Dungeon — is one of the best anime in years and it deserves to be seen on the biggest screen available. A special community screening at Alamo Drafthouse. The animation is stunning at this scale. The food philosophy hits different when you're eating popcorn.

Anime San Diego Monthly Meetup — June 2026
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.

Coming Soon
The Real Escape Game — Anime Edition SD
An anime-themed escape room at The Real Escape Game in San Diego — puzzles built around anime logic, character lore, and pop culture references layered into every room. Groups of 2 to 6. The difficulty is real. The satisfaction when you crack a puzzle that references a show you love is completely worth the 60 minutes of panic.

Coming Soon
Anime Pasadena 2026
Anime Pasadena runs a focused two-day convention at the Pasadena Convention Center — close enough to downtown LA that the guest list punches above the event's weight, small enough that the interactions still feel like they're meant for you. June 20–21: voice actors, artists, panels, cosplay, and the dealers' hall that SoCal fans make the drive for. The con that fits between Anime Expo and everything else — and does it well.

Coming Soon
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Community Night — June
June's Sparking Zero community night at GameSync. The meta has evolved since launch and so has the local competition. Full bracket, character variety encouraged, and the kind of hype moments that only Dragon Ball can generate in a live crowd. This is the game the community chose. Show up.

Coming Soon
Anime Expo 2026 — Day 3
AX Day 3 — the 4th of July. The convention floor is electric, the cosplay is at its peak, and the atmosphere of 100,000+ anime fans celebrating one of the biggest events in fandom is something you'll reference for years.

@falkorcommunity
Coming Soon
Anime Expo 2026 — Day 4
Final day of Anime Expo 2026. The post-con energy is bittersweet. Last chance for autographs, final laps of artist alley, and lingering in the halls with thousands of other people who don't want to go back to real life yet.
@falkorcommunity
