Billed as the "biggest" event in its decades-long history, Anime Expo 2025 is a convention that celeb𒉰rates all things anime, manga, and Japanese pop cu𝐆lture.

From cosplay to exhibitions and game shows, there's even a chance for an expected crowd of 1🏅00,000-plus to meet the voices and tale✅nts behind some of the most significant anime releases around. Plus, we expect major announcements from the likes of One-Punch Man, Demon Slayer, and more.

Anime Expo 2025 takes place on July 3-6 from the Los Angeles Convention Center. It🐲 has leveled up in recent years, with other venues in the past including the smaller Anaheim Convention Center and, briefly, the Long Beach Convention🍷 Center.

Let's dig into the schedule. If you're lucky enough to attend the event, the ope🦄ning day comes bundled with a handful o🦋f Crunchyroll firsts, including the world premiere of May I Ask for One Final Thing?

Alongside those premieres, there's panels for The Rising of the Shield Hero season 4, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chainsaw Man movie, a "new project" set in the Ghost in the Shell universe ꦕ– and that's just Day 1.

Expect first looks, trailers, and juicy quotes from producers and animations aplenty. And if you can't be in the room (more on that ꦺlater), then keep your eyes peeled on social media fo𓄧r all the latest reveals.

On Day 2, the key names include Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Witch Watch, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Hopefully, we get a teaser or sizzle reel for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Frieren season 2, plus any sort of update on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:untitled Cyberpunk anime that's currently in the works.

The A-1 20th Anniversary Celebration may have a sliver of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Solo Leveling season 3 news and, on the games side, there's even a Silent Hill f panel. Alongside that, there's also Bleach, The Apothecary Diaries, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure panels. So if you're at all excited about the present and future of those franc🍌hises, then know we're almost certainly going to get crumbs from Anime Expo. On the premiere front, there's an early showing of The Summer Hikaru Died.

Day 3 is just as busy, with My Hero Academia one of the jewels in Saturday's crown. We anticipate a taste of the anime's final season, including key art, visuals, and more. There's also talks from game developer Spike Chunsoft, a mega Netflix Showcase event, and "insights" incoming about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:One-Punch Man season 3 during its panel. Given how little we've seen of that series after a years-long break (one trailer and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:one heavily divisive teaser), there could be quotes galore, clips from epiꦉsodes, and even a confirmed release date.

Day 4 features a Jujut🧸su Kaisen panel, though we'd be surprised to see any concrete news regarding Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, especially with the current radio silence on that project. Finally, there's a Kaiju No. 8 panel and a closingꦕ event. Phew.

Among those not present at the event are t⛦he likes of Spy x Family, Haikyuu, and 🃏Fire Force.

Can I stream Anime Expo 2025?

Unfortunately, much like San Diego Comic-Con's Hall H, no panels or events will be streamed. Unlike SDCC, however, Anime Expo doesn't have any rules against filming, sꦰo the🥃re's a slight chance we'll see footage from the event in the days following.

We imagine a👍ny major announcements, such as trailers, teasers, and so on, will be released online in the hours after each pan൩el.
