VIZ Media will be hosting the world premiere screening of the manga series Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead at Anime Expo 2023.
Anime Expo (AX) was founded in 1991 by the members of UC Berkeley’s anime club, Cal Animage Alpha. The convention has grown drastically over the years and is now one of the largest events to take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
However, despite its amazing growth, the core goal has remained the same: to provide attendees with a fun and memorable experience. Each year, AX brings together fans and industry professionals from Japan, the US, and all over the world for the largest celebration of Japanese pop culture in North America.
