Aniplex has been holding the Aniplex Online Fest since 2020. It was originally used as a replacement for their usual convention schedule and now serves as a supplemental event putting a spotlight on a number of their franchises. They'll be coming back once again for another star-studded and anime-filled event next month.
Day 3 of Anime Expo 2023 started out with a bang for attendees interested in the U.S. premiere of Rurouni Kenshin. Not only were fans treated to the first adaptive episode of a beloved anime series but also graced by the presence of the producer Masami Niwa, Kenshin Himura’s voice actor Soma Saito, and Kaoru Kamiya’s voice actress Rie Takahashi. All in all, the experience was memorable in more ways than one.
