Anime Japan 2025: Day One schedule
Trending
The first day of Anime Japan 2025 has a significantly higher number of stages planned than the second day. This results in a more tightly packed schedule, especially with the addition of the White Stage and its events at times conflicting with those of the other three color stages. The full schedule for the convention's first day is as follows:
What to expect from the Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and One Piece Anime Japan 2025 stages
The three most exciting and highly anticipated stages of Anime Japan 2025's first day are undoubtedly the Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and One Piece stages. For Horikoshi's franchise, this applies to both stages it's represented in, one focusing on the final season of the mainline anime series and the other on the upcoming Vigilantes spinoff anime.
For the mainline anime series, confirmed cast members attending include Daiki Yamashita, Kenta Miyake, Koki Uchiyama, Akio Otsuka, and Hiroshi Kamiya. The description on the convention's website teases these hero and villain voice actors facing off on stage before their battle in the anime.
Fans can likewise expect some sort of live performance, as well as a talk show section, and potentially even some new promotional material for the final season.
For the Vigilantes anime, fans can expect what little information hasn't already been announced to be revealed, such as the anime's ending theme. This reveal will likely come with a new promotional video, one which should set up the series' antagonists. Cast members in attendance for this stage will be Shuichiro Umeda, Ikumi Hasegawa, Yasuhiro Mamiya, and Junichi Suwabe.
Meanwhile, the Demon Slayer stage will undoubtedly focus on the first movie in the Infinity Castle Arc trilogy. Cast in attendance will be Natsuki Hanae, Hiro Shimono, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Reina Ueda, and Nobuhiko Okamoto.
Fans can expect a new trailer for the first film specifically, as well as information like the film's theme song to be revealed. Discussion from the cast regarding the movie's production is also likely.
Last but certainly not least, the One Piece stage will close out the first day in a timeslot that conflicts with no other. With the franchise already hosting its "NEWS 2" event on that same day, fans can expect some major reveals regarding the series' return with the Egghead Arc's second half.
With the anime's return date and time slot already revealed, fans can expect a new trailer and information such as new theme songs and more to be shared.

Anime Japan 2025: Day Two schedule
While Anime Japan 2025's second day is more packed than usual, thanks to the White Stage's debut, there's still significantly less going on than the first day. Despite this, fans can expect the second day to still feature some of the medium's most popular series, such as Chainsaw Man, Re:ZERO, and Jujutsu Kaisen. The full schedule for the convention's second day is as follows:
What to expect from the Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc and Re:ZERO season 3 Anime Japan 2025 stages
Without a doubt, the three standout stages of Anime Japan 2025's second day of events are the Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc and Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- season 3 Special Stages.
While Jujutsu Kaisen would be mentioned here, the stage's description specifies a focus on the upcoming compilation film. As a result, it seems unlikely that any information regarding the third season of television anime will be revealed here.
Likewise, MAPPA Studios' other hit television anime, Chainsaw Man, gets the chance to shine here with the promotion of its Reze Arc film. While the stage's description doesn't specify any major announcements, it's likely that a new trailer with a release window or date for the film will be revealed. Cast members Kikunosuke Toya, Tomori Kusunoki, and Maaya Uchida will be attending.
The Re:ZERO Special Stage also features no promises of new information. Instead, it is said to feature a review of the third season's events and highlights with main cast members. However, it's expected that fans will at least get confirmation of a fourth season's production here, given season 3's success. Currently, confirmed cast members in attendance include Yusuke Kobayashi, Rie Takahashi, Satomi Arai, Nobuhiko Okamoto, and more.
