Interactive activities in the carnival!
In conjunction with this year theme of Animax Academy, visitors were transported to a fantasy world where they got to put their inner strength, dexterity and intelligence to test through many interactive anime-themed games. After the completion of a few challenges, participants were able to exchange their scorecards for lucky draw chances to win exclusive Animax merchandise.
Visitors were also able to step into scenes of their favourite anime during the carnival at the experiential zones, featuring two of Animax’s blockbusters – One Punch Man and The File of Young Kindaichi R.

Here, some fans took their opportunities to pit their deadliest punch at the One Punch Man booth and also spent their time solving the seemingly impossible murder mystery alongside Kindaichi.
At the same time, carnival-goers who managed to vote for their favourite scenes, characters and props at the OO-Kun Creative Corner can also look forward to seeing the final animated sketch being aired on the Animax channel in May.
