Programming Highlights
Video Rooms
It wouldn't be an anime convention if there weren't any good anime to watch, so several video rooms will be running all weekend long for your viewing pleasure featuring a diverse selection of anime - from old favorites to the latest releases, from the popular to the obscure. It's almost guaranteed that you will enjoy or discover some great anime in our video rooms.
And that's not all; the video rooms will also be featuring popular Japanese Dramas (J-Dramas), Japanese game shows, amateur parodies, and anime music videos (AMVs).
Video tracks are presented in Japanese with English or French subtitles, English dubbed, and French dubbed. Please consult the video room schedules to find out which titles are presented in which language.
Our screening schedule will feature some of the following theme blocks*:
Viewer's Choice Anime: A selection of anime titles chosen by you, the fans! These are some of the most popular anime out there right now.
Mecha Anime: If you like robots, body armours and even bigger robots, then this block is for you!
Video Game Anime: Anime based on popular video game titles.
Cute Bishounen: Anime that have "pretty" good looking guys that will drive any fangirl wild!

J-Dramas: A programming track dedicated to some of Japan's most popular live action TV dramas.
Japanese Game Shows: These are not your ordinarily run-of-the mill TV game shows. See how the Japanese go for the extreme and the wackiness for the audiences' viewing pleasure.
Anime Music Videos (AMVs) (non-competition): Anime Music Videos or AMVs are fan created videos that combine anime with a musical soundtrack. Some of the best and most popular AMVs will be screened throughout the convention.
