aniMUC 2027 will take place from April 2 to 4 at the Veranstaltungsforum Fürstenfeld in Fürstenfeldbruck. The convention is one of the established spring events in the anime and cosplay scene in southern Germany. It has been organized on a volunteer basis by Animexx e. V. since 2009 and brings together stage programming, workshops, the creative scene, vendors, and the community in a venue that feels noticeably more personal than a classic exhibition hall.
This guide helps you plan your visit: what to expect, which days are best for which kind of visit, how to get there, and what to keep in mind when attending in cosplay. You can also find the compact event date with all calendar details in the aniMUC event listing.
What makes aniMUC special?
aniMUC is not just a sales fair. Its core is the scene itself: show groups, workshop leaders, artists, cosplayers, clubs, and fans shape large parts of the program. This creates a mix of convention and community weekend. You can watch stage shows, learn something new, browse the Creative Alley, or simply spend time with friends.
The historic grounds of the Veranstaltungsforum Fürstenfeld give the convention its own atmosphere. Inside, there are program and sales areas; outside, many meeting points and photo opportunities emerge when the weather is good. This is especially practical for cosplayers, because you do not have to spend the whole day in crowded hallways.

Program: stage, workshops, and creative scene
The exact program changes every year. Typical features of aniMUC include shows on two stages, workshops, panels, and hands-on activities. If you make your own cosplay, you will often find topics such as sewing, wigs, makeup, props, or performance. There are also program items about anime, manga, games, and Japanese pop culture.
- Stage program: show acts, music, dance, competitions, and community formats
- Workshops and talks: practical insights and exchange with experienced scene members
- Creative Alley: illustrations, prints, accessories, and work by independent artists
- Marketplace: vendor offers and convention merchandise
- Community: meetups, photo opportunities, and space for new connections
Our tip: do not plan every minute. Choose two or three fixed program items and leave some room in between. At a convention like aniMUC, the best moments often happen spontaneously — at a reunion in front of the stage, during a conversation at an artist booth, or at a shared photo outside.
Cosplay at aniMUC
Cosplay is clearly part of aniMUC, but it is not required. You can just as well come in everyday clothing. If you are wearing an elaborate costume, think about mobility, weather, and repairs. A small emergency kit with safety pins, skin-friendly adhesive, backup makeup, and a power bank takes up hardly any space and can save the day if needed.
Check the current house rules and weapons regulations in advance. For large props, armor pieces, or weapon replicas, you should not assume the rules from other conventions apply. What was allowed there may be assessed differently in Fürstenfeld. Also respect that an unusual costume does not automatically mean permission to take photos: ask first, then photograph.
Getting to Fürstenfeldbruck
The venue is the Veranstaltungsforum Fürstenfeld, Fürstenfeld 12, 82256 Fürstenfeldbruck. Fürstenfeldbruck is west of Munich and can be reached by suburban rail. From the station, the route continues to the event grounds; for the exact connection, it is worth checking the current timetable information on the day of your visit.
If you are traveling from farther away, plan your return trip especially carefully on Friday and Saturday, because the convention is open until 11:00 p.m. If you are staying in a hotel or holiday apartment, price should not be the only factor: a reliable connection to Fürstenfeldbruck saves a lot of energy in cosplay.

Who is aniMUC worth attending for?
aniMUC is especially well suited if you are looking for a community-focused anime convention and do not just want to shop. Beginners will find many low-threshold program items; experienced cosplayers appreciate the meetups, backdrops, and direct exchange. Families should check the daily schedule and age information for individual program items, but can generally explore the convention together.
aniMUC from the Nekodanshi perspective
Nekodanshi works with cosplayers, artists, and event teams from exactly this scene. That is why we look at conventions not only as visitors, but also from a production and community perspective: Are the routes easy to understand? Is there room for encounters? Can creatives make their work visible? aniMUC is at its strongest when program and community interact.
