Two special stages, billed as Red and White, will be set up at the venue for a string of live shows featuring popular voice actors, actresses and anime song, or anison, singers.

Currently, 28 programs are listed on the schedule, but with five more slots still unfilled, more than 30 live stage shows will likely be offered at the two-day event.

The programs are aimed at anime fans, covering the latest and upcoming animated TV and feature film titles, such as "Natsume's Book of Friends," "Fate/Zero," "Eureka Seven AO" and "Blood-C."

Voice cast members will attend live talk shows, and live concerts and the latest video clips are also expected to be featured at the event.
