Major JJK, My Hero Academia, Haikyu, Dan Da Dan and more anime announcements awaited at Jump Festa 2025

All hail Jump Festa 2025! An exhilarating anime-filled weekend is less than a day away. Fans of top Shonen Jump franchises Jujutsu Kaisen, Haikyu, Demon Slayer, One Piece, and more are in for hot surprises these next two days as Chiba’s Makuhari Messe halls open in Japan on Saturday-Sunday, December 21-22, 2024.

This year marks the 26th outing for the grand anime/manga convention. Although a few 2025 anime releases have already been announced in the past few days, mysteries attached to some of the biggest franchises are still under wraps. From anime release dates to other sneak peeks and brand-new trailer reveals, the 2025 Jump Festa is going all out with a lineup of 42 stage events this weekend. The Japan fan fest also features the Shonen Jump + stage for the first time ever, extending a segment entirely dedicated to celebrating the digital platform’s 10th anniversary.
