AniManGaki Idol

AniManGaki Idol is back for another year, inviting the talented from across the country and beyond to show off their skills. This year’s competition is apparently a lot tougher than last year’s so good luck to all those taking part!

Off stage events

AniManGaki is chock full of off-stage events as well, taking place both inside and outside the hall area, as well as upstairs.

First there’s the AniManGaki Allstar’s Arena, which features three game tournaments to take place over the convention. Competitors will be duking it out on Tekken 7 (PS4), Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator (PS4) and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (PS4).

For those who are more into the artsy side of things, there is the Art Competition (Element Showdown) that took place some time ago but will be displayed at the event! You can check out all the winners here, along with their artwork!
