Besides booths selling various anime merchandise, there seems to be an influx of official interactive booths this year offering photo spots, with some even hosting stamp rallies where visitors can earn stamps by completing specific tasks. Visitors who manage to collect all the stamps will be rewarded with goodie bags from the booth. Game On! has also returned, allowing visitors to try their hands at game demos.

The crowd favorite will always be the Creators Hub and Cosplay Hub, where fans can buy cosplayers’ photobooks, get them autographed, and interact with their favorite personalities. At the Creators Hub, various artworks and trinkets are also available for purchase. Both feature a mix of local and international cosplayers and artists.

The Akiba Stage has been upgraded to The Next Stage this year, making it arguably the most hyped spot in the entire exhibition zone. (The Day Stage and I <3 Anisong are located in another hall and require a different ticket tier, so they’re not included here.) This vibrant area featured an exciting lineup of local and international talents performing live, while the Cosplay Singles Competition highlighted the impressive craftsmanship and performance skills of its competitors.
