AnimeJapan 2015 - Part 2

If the East Hall (part one of our coverage) of Anime Japan 2015 wasn't overwhelming enough, there was an entire second hall with things to gawk at.

Some ads in the hall for mobile provider NTT Docomo's anime streaming service, d Anime. Love Live! and Yowamushi Pedal were heavy favorites this year at many of the booths, but several are betting their money on Show By Rock!!, an anime adaptation of Sanrio's mobile game:

Some other hall ads, including Gilgamesh promoting the Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works BD set. His phrase, "You want to witness my Noble Phantasm...? Know your limit, mongrel!" is a pun where the first character in Noble Phantasm can refer to the treasures of the BD box. Fans could also scan the ad using an AR app for a special surprise.

Another animation school, this one showcasing live-drawing demonstrations:

TOHO animation's booth, guarded by the ever-serene face of Detective Conan (floating behind Takara Tomy's cube), had this giant Yowamushi Pedal Grande Road display, complete with autographed racing jerseys and bikes:

Also present where large displays for Haikyu!!, Psycho Pass, and others.

Visitors could get their Crime Coefficients scanned. If it's too high, one of the characters will come out and eliminate you.
