Anime News Network's chat channel is also an IRC channel on WorldIRC. The channel can be accessed from our website here , or from any standard IRC client like mIRC.

The IRC server to connect to is: IRC.WorldIRC.Org and the channel is #animenewsnetwork.

WorldIRC provides a Nickname Services feature much like nickserv on other networks, but its syntax might be slightely different than what you are used to:

Registering your nickname/phpBB username with WorldIRC:

You can use WorldIRC's nickserv to register and protect your username. This is not necessarry unless you are a chanel moderator, however you may prefer to know that your preferred nickname will always be available to you. Information on how to use WorldIRC's nickserv services can be found here .

In the event that the above chat link fails, you may also try connecting through WorldIRC's World IRC's webchat page , by typing /join #animenewsnetwork after connecting.
