We have 4 different Main Stages: Red Stage, Green Stage, Blue Stage and the newly introduced White Stage. With a total of 52 programs in the span of two days straight from March 22nd to March 23rd. (By programs I'm pretty sure they're referring to animes, could be wrong though lol).

Each Color Stage will showcase their new anime projects along with information and so on.

So yea, which upcoming anime projects y'all want to see the most in this event?

Ah yeah I vaguely remember this.

Iirc only certain specific colour stages can mean anime projects announcements.

Other colour stages will only feature trivia stuff.

Waiting for OPM Season 3 official trailer be like:

 

[Rej]

I need a real Witch Hat Atelier trailer, else I am fine.

 

[NikaInParis]

I hope we get some info on Hell's Paradise Season 2. Season 1 was pretty good, but it's been two years now and we got nothing

I legit don't remember what happened during last year AnimeJapan event lol.

Best bet is that it will air in Summer since the teaser for it is almost a year ago.

MAPPA dropped a teaser for it at the end of last year:

But yea, hopefully we get an official trailer for it.

At Jump Festa 2025 it was announced that Hell's Paradise S2 would air in January 2026

I legit don't remember what happened during last year AnimeJapan event lol.

If I were in Japan I would definitely attend the event. As it stands I don't see anything that's worthwhile.

Like if NGNL had a special stage or Madoka I would be eager to check the event news asap, but all I see are mostly recent super popular anime that for sure are getting sequels.

Post automatically merged: Mar 15, 2025

Oh they have a stage for kobayashi dragon maid

It's probably related to the upcoming movie

Ye, we're getting Classroom of the Elite season 4 info during this event btw.

Just pray that there's no new studio changes Lmao. I know Lerche is not the best studio for COTE but it's better than studios like ENGI or Project No.9 which butchers most, if not all the light novels they worked on lol.

Oh yeah, forgot about the teaser lol
I hope the next opening is as fire as the first one.

In COTE S3 J.C. Staff participated in many eps. If it changed to them it would be an improvement imo. Not a big one but a decent one.

And BETTER animation too.

Cuz Mappa butchered Jigokuraku for JJK lol.

The art style worked in its favor imo
JJK is their current cash cow, and the next season will need even more slavery than the last for them to do the fights justice.
But if Jigokuraku maintains the cool aesthetic and color palette, then even inferior animation can be enough

 

[AL sama]

I think I m experiencing a battle lol shounen block or grown out of the genre

otherwise I don't see the reason as to why I don't feel the same hype as most of you

some are decent, but it's not like they will break the game, they will most likely maintain the current standard for a while

Lol nah, not J.C. Staff. JC Staff is the last choice for me to pick up COTE. Their LN adaptations doesn't have a good record unless it's DanMachi or Toaru series.

The good thing is that Jigokuraku's artstyle are consistent. I like that.

But Mappa has changed compared to a few years prior, their working environment has improved. So I think they will do Jigokuraku S2 justice with better animation and flexible schedule this time.
