TOKYO, JAPAN — The cherry blossoms aren’t the only things blooming in Tokyo this March. Big A Anime is officially packing its bags and heading to the heart of the industry for AnimeJapan 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight from March 28–31.
As one of the world’s largest anime festivals enters its 13th year with its biggest floor space in history, Big A Anime is on a mission: to dive deep into the culture that fuels our network and bring a piece of the magic back to our viewers.
More Than Just a Convention
For the Big A Anime team, this trip is about more than just checking out the latest statues or catching the Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen stage panels. It’s about connection.
- Meeting the Fans: We’re hitting the floor to get feedback from the core audience. Whether you're a local Tokyoite or a traveler from across the sea, we want to know what makes your "otaku heart" beat faster.
- The Business of Anime: During the dedicated Business Days (March 30–31), our team will be meeting with studios, creators, and distributors. Our goal? Scouting the next big hits and exclusive content to expand the Big A Anime lineup.
- Hunting for "Showdown" Inspiration: With Season 2 of Anime Showdown fast approaching this September, Creative Director Chase Kuertz and the team are on the lookout for unique challenges and rare prizes—maybe even an ultra-exclusive figurine straight from the source!
Bringing Tokyo Home to You
"AnimeJapan is where the future of the industry is written," says Big A Anime's CEO Wendy Wang. "By being on the ground at Tokyo Big Sight, we’re ensuring that Big A Anime remains the most authentic home for fans. We’re not just watching the news; we’re part of the conversation."
