Anime Merch & Nakama is an afternoon event presented by Otaku Konnect as part of it’s community events that build up to the annual OtakuKon anime convention. The event is hosted with a focus around a movie watch event that gathers otaku and weebs alike.

As the name suggests, the event also features local anime merch sellers to help you get your monthly fix (or however often your itch is) of anime merch. Otaku Konnect partners with over 10 merchants and artists to ensure great variety and merch volumes at AMN events. Our main idea behind Anime, Merch & Nakama is to give Zimbabwean otaku a bite-sized event to meet, enjoy each others company and give each other the best anime recommendations.

Cosplay has now become a large part of the Anime Merch and Nakama event with a guaranteed cash Prize of $50 at every AMN event. As further acknowlegment of the community and it’s needs, gaming tournaments have also been added to AMN.
