Hyper Japan 2013 to be Held in London

Every day, various events are held overseas to promote Japanese culture worldwide. One such event is Hyper Japan, which is held in England. Hyper Japan is a huge event that focuses on the entertainment subculture of Japan that spans anime, manga, and games.

Japanimation is becoming more and more popular in Europe. However, its popularity in England is still relatively low. Therefore, in order to increase its popularity, it was decided to hold Hyper Japan in England. The event was first held in 2010 and attracted 13 thousand people. It’s popularity quickly increased, and in 2012, attendance jumped up to 46 thousand.

This year’s Hyper Japan will be held in July at Earls Court Two in London. It is anticipated that attendance will be the highest in the event’s history and will reach 65 thousand. It seems like the anime whirlwind will be hitting London this summer.
