In 2000 he was part of a group of people who founded the non-proft organisaation Animexx e.V., which was founded when many members of the original SMOF club found their interests had shifted and decided a new organization for fans of all kinds of anime and manga sources was needed. Johann Weber served as first chairman of the organisation.[1]
He was an active part in the organisation and in building the online presence and fanworks archive Animexx.de.
He was also one of the organsiers of the Connichi convention. [2]
