Video Rooms

It wouldn’t be an anime convention if there weren’t any good anime to watch. Our video rooms are a great place to sit back and relax while checking out the latest and greatest anime from Japan - 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 Japanese Dramas (J-dramas), Live-Actions, Fan Parodies, and Anime Music Videos (AMVs).

Video tracks are presented in Japanese with English or French subtitles, or English 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*:
