Machi Asobi Vol.31 Brings TYPE-MOON, Azur Lane, and Demon Slayer to Tokushima

Article

Four TYPE-MOON titles are converging on a single stage - in Tokushima, not Tokyo.

Three Days, One River City

Machi Asobi Vol.31 runs October 17-18, 2026, with a pre-event on the evening of October 16 at the Shinmachigawa Garden Stage. The main event takes place across Tokushima City, with venues spread along the Shinmachi River and surrounding streets rather than inside a single convention hall.

TYPE-MOON, Azur Lane, and Demon Slayer

The headline draw is a stage bringing together four TYPE-MOON titles. Azur Lane marks its 9th anniversary with a dedicated special stage and fan appraisal panel, and a Demon Slayer-themed ropeway guide program adds another franchise crossover to the lineup.

A Taste of Tokushima

Food booths featuring Tokushima's local specialties are part of the event, giving visitors a reason to explore the city itself, not just the convention programming.

What To Know

Machi Asobi is unusual among anime events in that it's genuinely woven into a real city rather than confined to a single convention center - fans walk between venues through actual Tokushima streets, river paths, and parks, which gives the event a distinct, local-festival feel that larger urban conventions don't have.

Tokushima isn't typically thought of as a major anime-tourism destination the way Tokyo or Osaka are, which is exactly why Machi Asobi matters locally - it's a deliberate effort to bring large-scale pop culture programming, including major franchise crossovers like TYPE-MOON's, to a smaller regional city.

What Fans Are Saying

• "Four TYPE-MOON titles on one stage is a wild lineup for a regional event."
• "Azur Lane hitting 9 years already feels unreal."
• "Love that this spreads across the actual city instead of one building."
