The Anime Japan 2024 full schedule for both days of the event suggests fans are in for an exciting convention. The event is set to commence in Tokyo, Japan, at the Tokyo Big Sight East Exhibition Halls 1-8 on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at 9 AM Japanese Standard Time. Several exciting series are set to appear at the convention, such as Suicide Squad Isekai, Mushoku Tensei, Re:ZERO, and more.
While both days of the Anime Japan 2024 convention are heavily stacked, the first day does feature more events overall, as is typical of Anime Japan’s structuring on a yearly basis. However, it’s very arguable that the second day is the more exciting overall, with series such as Oshi no Ko, Re:ZERO, Black Butler, Blue Exorcist, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, and more powerhouse titles being present.
In any case, fans are incredibly excited to see what major reveals the convention has this year, with Anime Japan always being known to boast a few blockbuster announcements. Likewise, in addition to the full schedules below, fans can also find a short and speculative few words on what to expect from each major stage at the convention.

Anime Japan 2024: Day One schedule
As mentioned above, the first day of Anime Japan 2024 has a significantly higher number of stages planned than the second day. This results in a more tightly packed schedule, with those attending the convention in person possibly needing to run between stages to avoid being late. The full schedule for the convention’s first day is as follows:
What to expect from the Demon Slayer and Mushoku Tensei Anime Japan 2024 stages
Without a doubt, the two most exciting Anime Japan 2024 Day One stages come in the form of the Demon Slayer and Mushoku Tensei stages. The former will feature cast members Natsuki Hanae, Akari Kito, Hiro Shimono, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, with Yuma Takahashi emceeing. The description for the stage’s events on Anime Japan 2024 only specifies these cast members being present, meaning whatever’s coming is likely a major secret.
However, fans can expect the stage to reveal some sort of additional trailer or key visual rather than an early premiere for the season. The relatively short 45-minute time slot for the stage further suggests this, not quite leaving enough room for a full screening. In addition to a trailer and/or visual, fans can expect the stage to focus on the voice actors sharing their experiences in making the latest season of the series.
The Mushoku Tensei stage will see cast members Yumi Uchiyama, Tomokazu Sugita, Ai Kayano, and Saya Aizawa present, as well as previous theme song artists for the series Yuiko Ohara. Not much other information is present here, but fans can expect the 35-minute stage to largely be a talk show-based one, considering how many involved with the series’ production are set to attend.

The Blue Lock the Movie -Episode Nagi- special stage will feature cast members Nobunaga Shimazaki, Yuma Uchida, Kazuki Ura, and Tasuku Kaito.
