India’s anime community is set for a historic celebration as Anime India 2025, the country’s largest Japanese anime convention, lands at Mumbai’s NESCO Bombay Exhibition Centre from August 22 to 24. This first-of-its-kind event promises to unite over 100 million Indian anime fans with the creators and legends behind iconic series like Death Note, Attack on Titan, and Black Clover.

Global Anime Icons Arrive

Tetsuro Araki, the visionary director behind Death Note, Attack on Titan, and Spy x Family, will make his inaugural visit to India as the convention’s headline guest. Fans will experience exclusive panels and Q&A sessions with Araki, offering rare insights into his creative process and the making of beloved anime worlds.

The B2B Animation & More Summit, running alongside the expo, will host Susume Fukunaga from The Pokémon Company, highlighting global collaborations and opportunities for Indian creators.

The convention will introduce India’s first Maid Cafe, a dedicated Creators’ Alley for artists and cosplayers, and a Japanese Culture Zone with yukata try-ons, origami, calligraphy, and authentic cuisine.

Official merchandise, collectibles, and gaming zones will be available, with a strict no-counterfeit policy ensuring fans get only licensed products.
