As we did back in May, we’re going to have a dedicated announcement area on our stand and at specific times of each day there will be a new announcement revealed on the wall for your eyes to see! So come along – take photos and tweet away to let your friends know what we’re bringing in 2017 to the UK & Ireland!

We will publish the times when announcements will be made closer to the event, but the one thing we can say is that they will not clash with either of our AllTheAnime panels or the Guest of Honour panels across the weekend.

But if you can’t be at the event, don’t you worry we haven’t forgotten about you. As there will be an announcement roundups here at our Anime Limited Blog in the evening on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

However, we like to kick things off early so we’re telling you now that there will be an announcement the night before MCM begins! Keep an eyes peeled as sometime after 6pm on the Thursday evening we’ll have some news to share with you.

If you’re at the event make sure you swing by our AllTheAnime Panels on Friday on the MCM Silver Stage at 3:30pm and Sunday in Platinum at 13:30. We’ll have some cool stuff to say at those too!

 

Okay, let’s be frank. We’ve given you WAY MORE than 4 reasons to visit us at MCM London Comic Con net week. As you can see it’s a mammoth weekend of activity we planned for you. We hope you’re looking forward to it as much as we are! And if you’re coming to the show, we’ll see you there.
