AnimeJapan 2027 Arrives in Osaka

On July 15, 2026, the official AnimeJapan site announced AnimeJapan 2027 and updated the event outline for INTEX Osaka. The current schedule lists public days for March 27-28, 2027, from 9:00 to 17:00 JST with last admission at 16:30 JST, and business days on March 26-27 in Hall 1.

What Was Announced

The official pages now present AnimeJapan 2027 as a Kansai-held edition at INTEX Osaka Halls 2-6. The about page also spells out the structure: exhibitor booths, AJ Stage, organized events, official merchandise, access information, and visitor-facing sections such as Food Park and the AJ Stamp Rally.

That makes this more than a date save-the-date. The site is already laying out the main visitor experience, which is useful for anyone planning industry meetings or a fan trip once the detailed program is posted.

Why It Matters

AnimeJapan is one of the key annual checkpoints for the anime business and fan calendar. Moving the 2027 public event to Osaka gives the show a different regional center of gravity and may make planning easier for people coming through Kansai. For overseas fans, that matters because a venue shift changes flight, hotel, and side-trip choices even before ticket details arrive.

It also signals that the event's English-language pages remain part of the rollout. International attendees can track the official site directly instead of waiting for translated summaries elsewhere.

Context for International Fans

If you follow anime news from outside Japan, AnimeJapan is not just a trade show headline. It is a place where booth announcements, stage programs, and merchandise plans often start to form the year's larger conversation. The official pages already highlight public-day information, access, and event sections, so the English site is structured for visitors who need practical planning information.

For many readers, Osaka also changes the map. The city is a major gateway for western Japan, so this announcement may be especially relevant for fans who want to combine the event with a broader Kansai itinerary. That is an inference, but it is a reasonable one given the venue change.

What Happens Next

The next updates to watch are exhibitor listings, stage details, and visitor guidance. Once those are posted, the official site should provide the concrete pieces that turn this announcement into a trip plan: which booths are attending, which stage events need reservations, and how the public-day flow will work across Halls 2-6.

Until then, the key fact is simple: AnimeJapan 2027 is officially on the calendar for INTEX Osaka on March 27-28, 2027.

Image
On June 20, 2026, the official Rilakkuma anime website and a San-X press release introduced a new key visual and a second promotional video for the series. The update also gave the project its latest story title, Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou , while keeping the show in its current TV and streaming rollout. What Was Announced The announcement is straightforward but important: Rilakkuma now has a second PV and a new key visual tied to the Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou story line. The release frames this chapter as a gentle travel-themed continuation of the anime rather than a hard reset, which fits the character brand well.

Image
On June 21, 2026, the official site for Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily confirmed that the anime’s second cour will begin in October 2026. The same day, the site also introduced a new character, Asahi, voiced by Kyori Nemoto. A follow-up report on V-STORAGE repeated the announcement and added context about where the series sits inside Pierrot’s long-running magical-girl tradition. What Was Announced The official news page says Episode 12, “Song...” closed the first cour on June 21 and that the second cour is scheduled for October 2026.

It is a small update on paper, but it gives the next p...

Image
On June 19, 2026, Bandai Namco Experience announced that the Blue Lock chibigurumi tied to the Namjatown collaboration will return as a limited prize line on June 26, 2026. The release is not a brand-new design drop.

What Was Announced The lineup is straightforward: five characters, each in the special collaboration outfit. The announced set includes Yoichi Isagi, Seishiro Nagi, Reo Mikage, Rin Itoshi, and Yo Hiori. According to the press release, the figures are about 11 cm tall. The company also notes that Blue Lock had passed 60 million copies worldwide as of June 2026, which explains why even a small-format prize revival can still attract attention. The key practical detail for collectors is that the item is framed as a prize releas...
