Anime Expo 2026 is officially in the history books, and between the crowds so large the fire marshals had to briefly stop allowing people inside the Los Angeles Convention Center, the massive lines, the chicken protests, and the police descending on a midnight mahjong gathering, there were some pretty big announcements. New series like The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All got attendees hyped, the premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 filled the Crypto.com arena—that’s the Los Angeles Lakers’ home venue, if you need a reference for how big it is—and delusional Persona 4 fans (hi, hello, that’s me) got their hopes up for an announcement of Yosuke being romanceable in the new Revival remake, which obviously didn’t happen (it’s never going to happen, we need to accept it and move on), but we did learn that animation studio Mappa will be producing all the in-game cutscenes, which is a decent consolation prize. Here are all the biggest announcements from Anime Expo 2026. Thursday, July 2 A quiet-ish day to ease fans into the convention. Manga Mavericks, Square Enix Manga and Books, Kodansha, BluPetal, and Ink Pop all debuted new manga translations, and a few early trailer debuts get out ahead of the peak Friday crush. The Apothecary Diaries Movie Debuts First Trailer No, we still don’t know the official English translation for the subtitle of the first Apothecary Diaries movie, but we did get to see a very intriguing trailer. We also learned that the film will be released on December 11, 2026, in Japan. No word yet on an international release date.
