'''Animexx''' is a German [voluntary association](/source/voluntary_association) (''[Eingetragener Verein](/source/Eingetragener_Verein)'') for promotion of [Japanese popular culture](/source/Japanese_popular_culture), in particular [anime](/source/anime) and [manga](/source/manga).[{{Cite web |date=22 May 2024 |title=Unsere Satzung |url=https://www.animexx.de/verein/verein-satzung.phtml |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date=22 May 2024 |website=Animexx |language=German}}] It was founded on 30 January 2000 in [Munich](/source/Munich)[{{cite web |url=http://animexx.onlinewelten.com/wiki/index.php/Animexx_Chronik |title=Animexx Chronik |publisher=Animexx |language=German |date=27 December 2009 |accessdate=27 December 2009 | archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100114170243/http://animexx.onlinewelten.com/wiki/index.php/Animexx_Chronik| archivedate= 14 January 2010 | url-status= live}}] when two other groups, 1. Sailor-Moon-Online-Fanclub and Animangai, merged. On 5 May 2008 Animexx became a member of Verband Deutsch-Japanischer Gesellschaften, a group of organizations and people interested in the relations between Japan and Germany.[{{cite web |url=http://www.animexx.de/news.phtml?id=8268 |title=Animexx e.V.

As of May 2024, Animexx claims to currently have around 600 club members worldwide and approximately 28,000 online club members.[{{cite web |date=22 May 2024 |title=Animexx Mitglieder-Statistik |url=https://www.animexx.de/onlineclub-statistik.phtml |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate=22 May 2024 |publisher=Animexx |language=German}}] Its site includes discussion forums, [fanart](/source/fanart) galleries, and areas for publishing [fanfiction](/source/fanfiction) and [doujinshi](/source/doujinshi). In association with [Egmont Manga & Anime](/source/Egmont_Manga_%26_Anime), and online magazine ''AnimePro'', they republish some doujinshi in anthologies. According to German magazine ''[Spiegel Online](/source/Der_Spiegel)'', it is "the largest [web portal](/source/web_portal) for Manga Artists in Germany".[{{cite web |work=[Der Spiegel](/source/Der_Spiegel) |url=http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/literatur/0,1518,516148,00.html |title=Jung, weiblich, sexy...

There are over 10,000 doujinshi available on the site, which are quality controlled and checked for "legal acceptability". [Real-person slash](/source/real_person_fiction) is not permitted, and there is a "complete ban" on [shotacon](/source/shotacon) and [lolicon](/source/lolicon). [Schwarzer Turm](/source/%3Ade%3ASchwarzer_Turm_(Verlag)), a small publisher that specialises in publishing German work, uses Animexx to find new artists to publish, and they publish manga anthologies together.[{{Citation |author=Malone, Paul M. |chapter=From [BRAVO](/source/Bravo_(magazine)) to Animexx.de to Export | editor-last=Levi|editor-first=Antonia|editor2-last=McHarry|editor2-first=Mark| editor3-last=Pagliassotti|editor3-first=Dru

In May 2002, the group also began organizing the [Connichi](/source/Connichi) [fan convention](/source/fan_convention), as well as four other smaller conventions: Hanami in [Ludwigshafen](/source/Ludwigshafen), YukiCon in [Zuffenhausen](/source/Zuffenhausen), J-Con in [Merzig](/source/Merzig) and Animuc in [Fürstenfeldbruck](/source/F%C3%BCrstenfeldbruck).[{{Cite web |date=22 May 2024 |title=Unsere Projekte, Cons und Treffen |url=https://verein.animexx.de/unsere-projekte/ |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date=22 May 2024 |website=Animexx |language=German}}]
