Anime Expo 2024 is the latest edition of this yearly anime convention, which is basically the largest anime convention in the world. Thus, it makes sense why so many famous artists/creators and anime studios would attend the various Anime Expos over the years. Which includes this one as well. Don’t believe me? Then let’s check out the full programming for this year‘s Anime Expo, shall we?
