Anime Japan is considered one of the biggest anime festivals in the world and has consistently welcomed more than 100,000 guests every year since it began in 2014. The list of exhibitors is what makes this event parallel to a spiritual homecoming for fans of anime, manga, video games, and electronics. Names like Bandai, Sega, and Toei have representatives on the floor selling merch and previewing new content as part of the fun for this event.
