Anime Festival Asia brings festival online as “AFA STATION”

The abrupt halt of global events during the COVID-19 crisis has been significant but fortunately, we’re still able to experience events through online.

The first “AFA STATION” will have 3 key days – 29th August 2020 (Saturday) and 5th & 6th September 2020 (Saturday & Sunday) via https://afastation.com/.  More details of the streaming times will be announced later.

The current situation with COVID-19 has impacted us greatly, hindering our company to hold any events. In order for our company to survive in this new normal, we’ve had to pivot ourselves to innovate in these current times. AFA STATION will not replace the physical AFA we all know and love, nor is it a replacement for C3 AFA Singapore.  But with AFA Station, we are pushing the envelope as to what can be done to bring the festival experience our customers have come to love us for online.  

We seek the help of everyone to support our latest initiative, and hope that this will at least help us survive to a time where we can come back, bigger and stronger than ever before.  We hope this platform will be able to help us reach our objectives of bringing the latest and best contents from Japan to South East Asia. Our team will strive to bring you the best festival experience from the comfort of your home.
