A key feature of this year’s Crunchyroll experience is the Solo Leveling Experience Dome. Fans of Solo Leveling, one of this year’s biggest anime hits, can look forward to entering the dark and suspenseful world of Sung Jinwoo, the show’s hunter protagonist. Inside the dome, visitors will explore the Solo Leveling Corridor, a chilling re-creation of the anime’s intense environment, complete with immersive audiovisual effects that capture the thrill of Sung Jinwoo’s life-or-death battles. As a souvenir, each participant will receive a Solo Leveling acrylic keychain, making it a unique keepsake for Southeast Asian fans.

One Piece “Wanted!” photo op: Join the Straw Hat Pirates

One Piece fans will enjoy the One Piece Wanted! Photo Op, an interactive setup that invites fans to step into the world of the Straw Hat Pirates. Using “Wanted” posters and props, visitors can capture memorable moments and pose as their favourite crew members. By sharing these photos on social media and tagging Crunchyroll, participants will receive a special One Piece sticker sheet and a collector card, adding a touch of pirate adventure to their AFA experience.

Exclusive Tower of God voice actor panel

Crunchyroll’s AFA 2024 offerings also include an exclusive panel featuring Taichi Ichikawa and Saori Hayami, the Japanese voice actors for Tower of God characters Jyu Viole Grace (also known as Twenty-Fifth Bam) and Rachel. Scheduled for Saturday, 30 November at 1:15 PM on the AFA Day Stage, the session will provide behind-the-scenes insights, personal stories, and a closer look into the actors’ voice-acting process. Later that day at 3:00 PM, fans will also have the chance to meet Taichi Ichikawa in a special meet-and-greet session, offering a rare opportunity to connect directly with one of anime’s celebrated voice talents.
