When and where to catch All The Anime at MCM London Comic Con – October 2017

For those of you who’ve been following us over recent weeks, you’ll already have seen us posting lots of exciting news and information about our plans at this weekend’s MCM London Comic Con. With early stock of new releases, Your Name and Anime Limited merchandise, Anime Guests of Honour, screenings and panels, as well as plenty to take in at the All The Anime stand, you’d be forgiven for losing track of where you’ll want to be and when over the course of the weekend.

If your Comic Con schedule is currently in disarray however, then fear not! For this post is designed to tell you exactly where you should be and when during the event to ensure you don’t miss a second of the exciting panels, signings and screenings we have lined up for you. We’ll also use this post to keep you appraised of announcements made both during and in the run-up to the event to ensure that you don’t miss a thing.

So, without further ado, let’s start by breaking down all of the events you’ll want to carve out some time for to ensure you have the best possible Comic Con experience courtesy of Anime Limited!

For more details, take a look at this blog post.

2:00PM – 3:00PM – Platinum Upper Theatre – Anime Guest of Honour Panel – The talent behind Little Witch Academia appear on-stage to talk about their work, offering some exclusive glimpses at the Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time video game and behind the scenes chatter about the popular anime series.

Alongside all of these scheduled events, we surely don’t need to remind you to visit the All The Anime stand, which you can find at stand number 2521. Buy some of our hottest releases before they arrive in retail, pick up some merchandise, and celebrate 5 Years of Anime Limited with our photo booth and exhibition space.

For more details on the reasons why you should make All The Anime the focus of your Comic Con weekend, have a read of our previous blog post giving you six great reasons to come and see us. We’ve also been treating you to an influx of other announcements, so here’s a quick break-down of what’s what:

– Official Your Name merchandise at MCM London Comic Con – As well as offering the first chance to own Makoto Shinkai’s hit film on DVD and Blu-ray, we’re also bringing a selection of official merchandise for the film to the event – the only place you’ll be able to find official goods at the show! Check out our blog post for all of the details of what we have on offer for you.

– UK premiere of Violet Evergarden – We’ve already mentioned this in the schedule above, but there’s no harm reiterating that we’re incredibly proud to be bringing this new Kyoto Animation series to the UK, premiering its first episode at Comic Con well before it airs in Japan and with a home video release planned in the future.

– AJIN: Demi-Human coming to DVD and Blu-ray – We have limited quantities of the DVD edition of this title available at the All the Anime stand this London Comic Con, but you can read more about both this and our Collector’s Edition Blu-ray plans here.

– Hyouka Part 1 Unboxing – We already have limited stock of this title available during Comic Con weekend and the All The Anime stand, so you can be amongst the first to own this release before it reaches retailers in December. Check out what you’re getting out of this beautiful Collector’s Edition in this post.

– Attack on Titan: The Last Stand board game – If you’re a big fan of board games or Attack on Titan (or both!), then this weekend will be your first chance to officially purchase this fantastic game based around the popular franchise. Check it out and pick up a copy from the All The Anime stand!

– Tokyo Ghoul Live-action coming to select cinemas in 2018 – Our first major new title announcement of MCM London Comic Con week was to reveal that we’ll be bringing the live-action Tokyo Ghoul to the big screen next year.
