The anime production technology event Anitsuku 2026 will take place October 3 at UDX GALLERY NEXT and UDX GALLERY in Akihabara, Tokyo. Admission is free with prior registration, and web applications open the same day. The 12th edition carries the theme 'Passing the Power of Creation to the Next Generation' and plans 14 sessions from studios including Toei Animation, MAPPA, Orange, and Sanzigen.
