Hulu Animayhem is coming back to Anime Expo, and this year, it will transport guests into an anime alley called Animayhem Yokocho. It will be located on the convention floor and will feature anime titles like Naruto, Tokyo Revengers, Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, and many more.

The inspiration comes from Tokyo’s alley culture, where guests will get to walk through an immersive corridor featuring Hulu’s anime lineup. From paper lanterns to cherry blossoms, anime characters and interactive moments are around every corner.
