The Philadelphia Animation Society

[animefan1]

This is one of the oldest groups of its kind, dating back to its founding in November 1982. It was founded by the late Bill Thomas, and if you listen to the Anime World Order Podcast, he should sound familiar because he was featured in an interview as part of “the old farts of anime“ that took place in 2008 in 2009 at Otakon. Also, the late Jim Kaposztas, who a lot of you may know on here as being the guy who created the first AMV, was also part of that interview for the 2008 edition, and he was also involved with the group back in the day.

It’s a fun group. We meet monthly, and we feature new anime as well as older anime. We also feature classic cartoons like the old superman cartoons. We even feature Tokusatsu as well as a feature (animated) film during our meetings too! We also have plenty of space and there’s often Conversations going around during the meetings, so it’s a great place to socialize too!

It’s located at the Unitarian church in Philadelphia, which is located on the corner of 22nd and Chestnut Street. We have our meetings on the second Saturday of each month and it goes from 5 o’clock to 1030. The admission fee is only five dollars, and we accept cash or Venmo.
