Born from the merger of the once rival events Tokyo International Anime Fair and Anime Contents Expo, AnimeJapan has been the biggest anime industry event for the last few years. A great experience for those who can attend it, but also fairly exciting for fans abroad as it’s always a source of endless anime announcements. Its site is full of teasers and the industry doesn’t do a great job at hiding its secrets, so we’ve compiled a list detailing a bunch of titles that you should expect some news for.

Note: Some of those titles would have been listed in multiple categories, but only appear once to avoid cluttering too much. Also, keep in mind that as a western fans there are many kinds of new developments that don’t affect you at all, from exclusive goods to live events. Not everything will mean a new TV series or the likes!

Since Anime-Japan is a massive licensing deals opportunity I’m sure they’ll be negotiating with distributors, so it should have some public presence as well.
