Animatsuri 2.0

The 2nd edition of Animatsuri, and a showcase of independent artists from Chennai

On 6 October 2024, the artists' association Sunshine House conducted the second edition of Animatsuri, a showcase of independent artists from Chennai. One of India's largest fan-art exhibitions, it included 80+ creators. There were cosplay performances, quizzes, karaoke events, merchandise booths, a manga library and food stalls, with a primary focus on Japanese and other east Asian culture, such as anime/manga fan-art, video game merch and gaming arcades (in collaboration with the Versus Festival). We are proud to announce that two artists from Bengaluru Anime Club - Ita-Torakking and Dhitika - exhibited their works at Animatsuri.
