What this is
Bōkyaku Festa 2026 is a large-scale fan event celebrating the TV anime Oblivion Battery, scheduled for November 29, 2026 in Tokyo. Oblivion Battery is a baseball-themed anime following a pitcher-catcher duo whose memories of their past partnership have been erased, blending sports drama with emotional storytelling. Events of this type typically feature live stage performances, cast talk shows, exclusive merchandise, and fan interaction segments. With a stellar voice cast including Mamoru Miyano, Yuki Kaji, and Nobunaga Shimazaki — all major names in the anime industry — this is shaping up to be a significant celebration for fans of the series.
Who should go
This event is ideal for dedicated fans of the Oblivion Battery anime and manga, as well as general anime enthusiasts who enjoy seiyuu (voice actor) live events and stage performances. The atmosphere at events like this is typically energetic and celebratory, with a passionate fanbase that engages enthusiastically with cast appearances. Cosplay is common and welcomed at anime fan events of this scale. Book tickets as early as possible once they go on sale, as events featuring popular voice actors like Mamoru Miyano and Yuki Kaji tend to sell out rapidly.
Good to know
The venue has not yet been announced, so check the official website regularly for updates on location and ticket sales. Tickets for large-scale anime events in Japan are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp, both of which accept foreign credit cards; convenience store pickup at Lawson (combini) is the most reliable option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Exclusive event merchandise (goods) is usually sold on-site and lines can be very long — arriving well before doors open is strongly recommended if you want to secure limited items. Additional cast members and event details are still to be announced, so follow the official channels for the latest information.
