Any Anime Expo fans excited for the 2023 edition of the largest anime convention in North America? Well, now you have even more reason to get excited. Especially now that they’re releasing a (so far) full lineup of what you can expect when you attend this year’s convention.

Anime Expo 2023: Details

So that you know who exactly is sponsoring Anime Expo.

Aniplex of America is proud to announce Anime Expo 2023 is returning this year. Specifically: they want to hype up the upcoming convention by releasing the full lineup of incoming events. It’s not a bad tactic, to be honest. If they want to attract as many people as possible, then what better way than to tease them about everything they’re going to see? Especially if they’re already fans of those particular anime series?

So now without further ado, here’s the full list of what’s going to happen at Anime Expo 2023, plus which dates and what time they’re going to take place at:
