The full schedule for Anime Expo 2024 promises an exhilarating experience for fans over the course of four days. The event will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California, featuring a strong presence of popular series like Oshi no Ko, Suicide Squad Isekai, Re:ZERO, and many others. Attendees can also look forward to seeing beloved titles such as Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia at the convention.
In line with the convention’s usual scheduling, the fourth and last day of Anime Expo 2024 will have the least number of major industry panels. However, the first three days are packed with events, leaving fans with the difficult decision of choosing which ones to attend.
A notable trend in Anime Expo 2024’s four-day program is the abundance of premieres and screenings that will take place during the convention. These include highly anticipated releases such as Tower of God season 2, Oshi no Ko season 2, the world premiere of the I PARRY EVERYTHING anime, a screening of the first episode of Suicide Squad ISEKAI, and many others.
Anime Expo 2024: Day One Schedule
The first day of Anime Expo 2024 will begin with a relatively low number of key anime news, panels, and overall anime series. However, there will still be some exciting highlights, including multiple North American and world premieres for popular series like I PARRY EVERYTHING, Plus-Sized Elf, and a showing of the first episode of Suicide Squad ISEKAI.

What to Expect from Anime Expo 2024 Day One’s Most Significant Panels
Undoubtedly, the Warner Bros. Japan panel is the most eagerly awaited event among Anime Expo 2024’s day one line-up, as it will showcase the highly anticipated ISEKAI anime adaptation of Suicide Squad. Attendees can expect a screening of the first episode, as well as the presence of the show’s creative team from Japan. The panel will also feature a special performance by the ending theme song artist, Mori Calliope.
The upcoming panel featuring both SPYxFAMILY and Kaiju No. 8 is highly anticipated, as both series have a dedicated fan base. While not much information has been revealed about the panel, the convention’s website hints at a special presentation from TOHO animation and the appearance of various guests, promising an exciting experience for attendees.
The panel for Witch Hat Atelier is generating much excitement with the recent announcement of an anime adaptation for the series. Fans can also look forward to the Anime Expo 2024 panel, where mangaka Kamome Shirahama and members of the anime’s production team will reveal the latest updates and information on the highly anticipated adaptation.
On the first day of premieres, Plus-Sized Elf stands out as the most intriguing series, although it is limited to an 18+ audience due to its subject matter. However, the highly anticipated premiere of The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies is expected to draw a wide audience. There are also a few other Crunchyroll premieres that have been hinted at, but without knowing the specific titles, it is difficult to gauge their level of anticipation.
Anime Expo 2024: Day Two schedule
The second day of Anime Expo 2024 will feature highly anticipated premieres from the convention, including the Arifureta season 3 premiere, Re:ZERO season 3 premiere, and the English dub premiere of the One Piece Egghead arc. Fans can also look forward to a special screening of “never before-seen footage”for the TERMINATOR ZERO anime. While there are other exciting events, these three are definitely the highlights of the day.
