“NAJ was first started as an effort to create a community for anime fans in Nagaland. We wanted to coin a platform where they could share and interact with other fellow anime enthusiasts. We now have a fan following from all over india and our cosplay events are no longer limited to anime alone. We are open to all genres and we try to promote art in all its different forms. Our first cosplay event was inspired by the likes of Comic Con and other cosplay conventions. We wanted to host an event on those lines here [Nagaland], so we did what we could to make it happen. It was a small start but it is still a great beginning.”
