CRUNCHYROLL TRANSFORMS BANGKOK INTO AN ANIME FAN DESTINATION WITH IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES, SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCES, AND LIVE SHOWS

Manila, Philippines (May 12, 2026) – Anime fans in Thailand are in for an unforgettable weekend as Crunchyroll, the global brand for anime, brings the community together through a vibrant social hub to watch, discover, and celebrate anime. Taking place on 30–31 May 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), Crunchyroll’s booth will feature immersive anime experiences, interactive Ani-May activities, and
exclusive opportunities to connect with the voices behind fan-favourite titles.

Step Into the World of Chainsaw Man

Enter the chaotic and thrilling universe of Chainsaw Man through a dedicated immersive experience inspired by the hit series. Fans can explore The Crossroads Café-inspired photospace, a setting that reflects a quieter and more human side of Denji’s world. Thai fans will also have the opportunity to capture memorable moments with a life-sized Pochita mascot, brought to life in Thailand for the first time. Visitors to the meet-and-greet will also receive an exclusive Pochita sticker sheet. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is available to stream exclusively on Crunchyroll ahead of the event.

Meet the Voice of Denji – Kikunosuke Toya

Fans will also have the rare opportunity to meet Kikunosuke Toya, the Japanese voice actor behind Denji from Chainsaw Man. Toya will headline an exclusive guest panel, followed by a fan meet-and-greet where he will share behind-the-scenes insights into voicing one of anime’s most dynamic protagonists, reflect on key moments from the series, and connect with fans through live, interactive moments. This marks one of the few opportunities for fans in Thailand to meet the Japanese voice cast of Chainsaw Man in person.

Power Up Your Ani-May Experience – Complete Challenges, Unlock Rewards
