Time Out says

This two-day anime extravaganza returns for the 13th time to Tokyo Big Sight, having attracted over 150,000 fans last year with over 100 booths and plentiful entertainment such as talks and cosplay parades.

Dozens of events will take place across four stages: red, green, blue and white. Whether it's classics like Magic Knight Rayearth, modern hits like Mushoku Tensei or upcoming projects like Steel Ball Run, each event allows you the chance to view trailers, check out show footage or sit in on panel discussions with cast members (in Japanese, natch).

If you want to get into the live stage events, you’ll need to purchase an entry ticket that's bundled with a stage lottery ticket. Advance tickets with stage lottery passes are available via the official website at ¥2,500 per person, plus other ticket types. It will be ¥2,800 at the door.
