Frieren, Hunter x Hunter, One-Punch Man & More Coming to AnimeJapan 2025

The upcoming AnimeJapan event is set for March 22nd and 23rd. This massive convention held in Tokyo showcases numerous exhibits and stage presentations for some of the most anticipated anime releases of the year. To build excitement for AnimeJapan 2025, a live stream kick-off will reveal the event’s stage schedule. The live stream is slated to go live on January 17th via the official AnimeJapan YouTube channel. This year, an impressive 117 exhibitors will participate, among them industry giants like Aniplex, Kadokawa, and TOHO Animation from Japan’s anime world.

On its official site, AnimeJapan has disclosed the comprehensive roster of Exhibition Titles. These exhibitions, located on the main floor, provide an opportunity for fans to engage directly with a particular property or brand. This year, over 117 exhibitors will participate in AnimeJapan, and some of the most prominent ones include those focusing on Hunter x Hunter, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Demon Slayer, One Piece, One-Punch Man, Dandadan, Digimon, Dr. Stone, Fullmetal Alchemist, Haikyu!!, JuJutsu Kaisen, Macross Frontier, Gundam, and the final season of My Hero Academia. AnimeJapan gives fans a glimpse into the future of anime and offers them a chance to purchase unique merchandise on the show floor.

Will Every Anime Present Have a Big Announcement in AnimeJapan 2025?

It’s important to understand that an anime brand being present at the event doesn’t automatically guarantee a significant news announcement about that specific anime. For instance, even if you see Hunter x Hunter or Fullmetal Alchemist at AnimeJapan 2025, it doesn’t necessarily mean there will be news about a continuation of these animes. These series can still generate profits without new episodes airing, which is why they are often showcased at large conventions like this one. The presence of these popular animes on the show floor may excite fans, but it doesn’t always signal major announcements.

Anime is Set to Have Its Biggest Year in 2025

2025 will see the 12th installment of AnimeJapan, an event that started in 2014 and has been held primarily at the Tokyo Big Sight Center in Tokyo, with exceptions for 2020 and 2021 when it went online due to unforeseen circumstances. The Tokyo Big Sight, known for its distinctive inverted pyramid structure, is a well-known convention venue in Tokyo, and this year’s event promises to be the biggest one yet, attracting many anime enthusiasts and Japan lovers.

In recent times, anime has seen a significant surge in popularity outside Japan, particularly in America. This once niche genre has transitioned into mainstream entertainment, leading to major American companies such as Sony and Disney pouring millions of dollars into it. Sony, for instance, is planning to prioritize anime in its business strategy, while Disney is working on a strategy to promote the medium through its streaming service. Meanwhile, Netflix is heavily investing in popular series like “One Piece”.
