Anime fans, mark your calendars. Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2025 (AFASG25) is set to take over the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre from 28 to 30 November 2025, promising one of its biggest editions yet.
At a closed-door media conference in Singapore, organisers SOZO Pte Ltd, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, unveiled an exciting slate of exhibitors, guests, concerts, and exclusive content that will make this year’s festival an unmissable celebration of anime, cosplay, and gaming culture.
Festival Director and SOZO Founder Shawn Chin shared that AFA has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2008.
“What started as a small celebration of Japanese pop culture has now grown into one of the biggest and longest-running events of its kind in Asia,” shared Chin. “The community surrounding AFA has evolved — it’s no longer just Japanese-inspired. We’ve seen local creators and talents turn that inspiration into world-class content.”
Among this year’s major highlights are special appearances from SPYxFAMILY cast members Atsumi Tanezaki, Kenichiro Matsuda, and Emiri Kato (joining virtually), a bilibili panel for The Beginning After the End, and behind-the-scenes talks with the creative team of Lord of Mysteries.
Fans can also look forward to Meet & Greets with stars like Simba Tsuchiya (Haikyuu!!, BURN THE WITCH) and Sally Amaki of 22/7 fame, who will host interactive sessions and exclusive photo opportunities.
The exhibition hall is set to be the biggest yet, featuring booths from Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia, TOHO animation, KADOKAWA, Medialink, MUSE, and Crunchyroll, alongside pop-up showcases such as the Ado 5th Anniversary Store, SPYxFAMILY collab merch, and the LAM Art Exhibition.
Fans will even get to experience interactive worlds from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Lord of Mysteries.
Game lovers will have plenty to dive into, with new releases and demos including SWORD ART ONLINE: Fractured Daydream, Digimon Story Time Stranger, CODE VEIN II, MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice, Little Nightmares III, and Once Upon A Katamari.
AFASG25 will also feature nearly 50 top regional cosplayers, including fan favourites Chocolat, Ojigi, and Thames Malerose, as well as creative showcases under Asia Creators Cross, spotlighting renowned illustrators LAM, Terada Tera, and tamimoon.
The festival’s Next Stage will spotlight regional and international performers, from Vocaloid producers like Hachioji-P and Kuriyama Yuri to live acts like STARKIDS, Suupeas, and Just Cosplay Sings.
Tickets are now available across multiple tiers, starting from S$22 for exhibition access to S$198 for premium seated packages that include day-stage access and meet-and-greet opportunities. Early bird rates are available for a limited time.
