AnimeJapan is the largest convention in Japan, focused on what's happening in the current world of anime. Massive booths featuring statues, posters and giant screens playing anime trailers line the halls of Tokyo Big Sight. Ever since COVID, AnimeJapan had been downsized greatly and only slowly grown back to its grand scale over the past few years. This year saw the event almost fully recovered, with extravagant booths filling the halls of both the east and south halls of the convention center.
Besides the stage events featuring voice actors and producers of upcoming anime talking about their work on new projects, you don't need to speak Japanese to enjoy perusing the different kinds of booths and taking photos of all the cool anime posters. Many booths feature life-size cut-out boards of popular anime characters that you can pose next to. Some booths have interactive elements like the Jojo: Steel Ball Run booth, which had a horse racing game you could play against an opponent. 
The Toei Animation booth had a massive monitor combined with a statue to create the illusion of a sleeping Loki from One Piece. The most eye-catching booth might have been the "Fantasy Forest" from Kadokawa. The lighting and mist effects really made it feel like you were walking into the world of Re:Zero. 
Anime mascots and official cosplayers helped to make the event more lively. There were cosplay dance performances on a stage and even audience members were joining in on the choreography. This year was also the first time the rooftop was open as the main cosplay area. Since the weather was nice many cosplayers were outside getting their photos taken.
There was also a huge merchandise hall where you could buy goods from your favorite anime series. I noticed the Square Enix booth had a lot of new Fullmetal Alchemist merch, which was nice to see. Even the merchandise booths had some cool designs and photo-worthy elements, like the cafe from the Chainsaw Man movie.
Overall, it was nice to see AnimeJapan back to its old self. If you're an anime fan and you have the chance to visit, I can definitely recommend this exciting event. For tickets, you can check out their official website, which has an English-language page.
