The highly anticipated Anime Japan 2023 will be held from March 25 to March 26, 2023. This year's schedule for the convention is full of franchises and exciting anime titles, such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Spy x Family, Attack on Titan, Dr. Stone, and more.

According to Anime Japan's official website, the event will be available to viewers outside Japan across streaming platforms like Twitter and YouTube. However, only some of the stages of this two-day event will be streamed online.

Anime Japan 2023 will be streamed globally on Twitter and Youtube

As mentioned earlier, some of the stages in Anime Japan 2023 can be streamed by a global audience on Twitter and YouTube. However, it is important to note that the programs, as well as the time, title, performers, and content of each stage, are all subject to change.

As of now, several stages of this two-day event are set to be streamed on the Japanese video-sharing site Niconico. However, the stages that will be streamed entirely in Japanese without any subtitles on this site will put the international audience at a disadvantage.

As seen in the table above, most stages have already revealed their streaming details, with only a few remaining unannounced. It is also possible that some of these stages won't be streamed online at all.

However, most of the stages will be streamed online locally on Niconico and globally on YouTube and Twitter. Fans will have to wait and see if more global streaming platforms, such as Twitch, are added to the roster of streaming sites.

The first day of the event has a significantly higher number of stages planned than the second day. This results in the day being tightly scheduled, consisting of big-name titles such as Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dr. Stone, and Re:ZERO.

The second day of the event will feature stages of popular anime titles like Spy x Family, Attack on Titan, and KONOSUBA. Day 2 will have considerably fewer stages compared to day 1 and will follow a less strict schedule.

As such, international fans are hoping that more stages get streamed on YouTube and Twitter so that they can enjoy them from outside Japan with proper subtitles. Moreover, since the Japanese streaming platform Niconico is only accessible to the Japanese audience, it leaves only YouTube and Twitter as the only options for worldwide viewers.
