Crunchyroll Targets Community-Led Engagement in India
ANI-MAY Party & Drone Show follows the live-event momentum of Mumbai Comic Con 2026 (May 9-10). It already brought experiences tied to popular anime, including ONE PIECE, Solo Leveling, and Suzume. Many industry professionals like Taito Ban, Atsushi Kaneko, and Rajesh Shukla joined the program.
The late May Mumbai drone show will be completely fan-facing, including live music, themed activations, exclusive merchandise, and giveaways. The drone lighting show will take place over the Mumbai skyline for an immersive addition to the evening.
The exclusive Mumbai drone show coincides with Crunchyroll’s broader celebratory programmes across the world in May for Ani-May celebrations. The company has been running themed promotions, streaming campaigns, and retail collaborations globally throughout the month to capitalize on the anime-event economy.
