The registered association Animexx e.V. is the biggest German-speaking manga and anime association. It was founded on January 30th 2000 in Munich and counts more than 1.300 paying members while its online portal animexx.de maintains about 110.000 registered accounts. The association's mission is to represent the interests of all German-speaking fans of anime and manga and aims to improve their situation by proactive fieldwork and numerous close contacts to companies involved in anime and manga, even to the Japanese animation industry, as well as to media and press.

The association's website animexx.de sees over 4 million visitors per day and counting, elevating it to one of the most popular German fan sites on anime and manga, providing a pivotal source of information for fans, companies and media. It reports and aggregates news on the German and international scene and offers an extensive fan art archive with over 450.000 images drawn by 32.000 artists, a forum for discussions, a regularly updated anime TV guide, one of the biggest German databases about Manga and Anime, online RPGs ("Role Playing Games"), a chat, an event calender and much more.
