Crunchyroll Expo 2020 has announced the full schedule for the event that will start from September 4-6. This year's event is free of cost and is going completely online.
Adam Sheenan, Director of Crunchyroll Events gave commented:
“What I think sets Virtual Crunchyroll Expo apart is the overall feeling that it's more than just a live stream on YouTube,” said Sheehan. “On top of great programming, V-CRX has a Shopping District full of online exhibitors, an Arts District full of amazing artists from all over the world. In addition to that, there are things for fans to engage with like our Onyx Equinox scavenger hunt and Yuzu's Cat Café over in our Super Arcade. This is just a taste of what we have planned for Virtual Crunchyroll Expo coming up in just a few weeks!”
Mary Franklin, Crunchyroll's Head of Events commented on V-CRX's accessibility to many different people around the world:
“Thinking about our fans all over the world was one of the main reasons we worked to develop V-CRX On Demand,” she explained. “From 10:00 am Pacific on Friday, September 4 to 10:00 am Pacific on Monday, September 7, attendees can enjoy content non-stop, 24 hours per day. We wanted fans to be able to take in the show during convenient times wherever they live. Also, because we have multiple live streams during the show, V-CRX On-Demand will let them catch shows they missed while watching something else.”
Virtual Crunchyroll Expo will be introducing the New Crunchy City, consisting of four different districts -
Anime Arts District: The attendees will get access to the artist alley that will feature over 150 artists complete with special offers that will be unique to the weekend event.
Central Shopping District: It will feature exhibitions, with V-CRX having its take on it and with some of the biggest names participating.
Theater District: Each day on the event from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Pacific Time, various contents will be ready to be watched, ranging from big events and panels. The CR stage and the Hime Stage will be found here. The Hime Stage will also be hosting the Crunchyroll-Hime's Cosplay Cup.
