Anime Japan 2021, one of the world’s largest anime gatherings, will be hosted online from March 27 (Sat) to March 28 (Sun) in 2021, according to the AnimeJapan Association. AnimeJapan is a relatively recent addition to the convention scene, having debuted in 2014 and providing anime fans with the ability to not only attend panels and meet guests related to the world of anime but also to shop for a variety of merchandise related to their favorite anime franchises.

With the event taking place digitally this year, it will be fascinating to see what modifications are made to the well-known conference that has previously occurred in the East. AnimeJapan 2021 will be broadcast in seven countries and regions: the United States, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, and will be available for the first time outside of Japan. From 13:00 JST on March 1 (Mon), 2021, online tickets will be available on AnimeJapan’s official website. Make sure to watch the most recent and famous anime in Japan.
