Drawing on never before seen, proprietary data, this session will help unflatten our understanding of anime fans because, unlike many of their favorite shows, anime fans aren’t just two dimensional. By the end of the session, participants will leave equipped with a better understanding of anime fans beyond just their anime habits that can inform COVID and post-COVID strategies around event programming, meaningful partnerships, and year-round engagement.
