AnimeTimes has announced its official partnership with Mela Mela Anime Japan 2025, one of India’s most anticipated anime conventions, scheduled to take place on September 13 and 14 at Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden, Delhi. The streaming platform will host a booth and a special stage program during the two-day event, aiming to strengthen its presence in India and bring fans closer to the anime they love.
This move comes shortly after AnimeTimes’ successful participation in the Anime India event in Mumbai in August 2025. Building on that momentum, the company is now looking to engage even more fans by expanding its activities in Delhi.
Booth and Stage Highlights
The AnimeTimes booth will feature an exclusive lottery for its members, with prizes including original T-shirts and autographs from acclaimed director Tetsurō Araki, known for his work on Death Note and Attack on Titan. Beyond merchandise, the stage program promises to be a major attraction. It will host a reunion of the Hindi voice actors from Attack on Titan, who will perform a live dubbing of key scenes from the series. Audience members will also be invited to participate in the performance, making the event interactive and memorable.

Let’s create a new chapter in anime history,” he said in a statement, highlighting the company’s mission to make anime more accessible and enjoyable for Indian audiences.
