Event organizers the AnimeJapan Organization are backing up the superlatives this year having gathered together 162 companies to exhibit all-things anime across 1040 booths -- the largest number of booths yet -- at event venue Tokyo Big Sight in the capital’s Koto Ward.
The heavy hitters were all making their presence felt on the event’s opening day with the booth of AnimeJapan 2019 “special sponsor” Fate/Grand Order proving popular.
(ANIPLEX booth, AnimeJapan 2019)Much smaller in scale but no less popular on the opening day was the exhibition from TV animation series Attack on Titan.
Perhaps it’s apt then that the theme of AnimeJapan 2019 is “rock,” although for the organizers this is derived from it being outing No.
AnimeJapan 2019 is open to the public on March 23 and 24 ahead of business days on March 25 to 26 at venue Tokyo Big Sight.
