Anime Expo 2025 is the best time of year to show off new, upcoming anime series. After all, it’s one of the largest anime conventions in the world. It’s the best place to show off new anime series to a very interested audience.

NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan know that perfectly well, and thus it’s why their anime series are the stars of today’s story. They are proud to announce they will be presenting two new anime series at Anime Expo 2025:  Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota and A Wild Last Boss Appeared!. Both will make their appearance at the expo, but at entirely different times and dates. You can check out exactly when and where they will be presented (along with what other anime will be at the panel) at below:
