This May is Pan-Asian month on Fanlore!
We'll be spotlighting a variety of fandoms and fan activities related to all parts of Asia and Asian culture, including Central Asian, East Asian, South/Southeast/Southwest Asian, West Asian, and anything in-between.
We have Categories for Chinese media fandoms, Japanese media fandoms (anime and manga, dramas, j-pop, j-rock), K-dramas and K-pop, Filipino-speaking fandoms. We also have pages scattered in other Categories, such as Middle East Film and Comic Con a convention in West Asia (UAE), or Trese a Filipino horror comics series - that also has a Netflix adaptation! We're focusing on any existing or new pages for any type of fandom from all regions of Asia.
