AnimeFesta, operated by wwwave Inc., has announced the “AnimeFesta Dokidoki Watch Party Festival,” a collaborative event featuring approximately 100 VTubers, running from July 15 (Wed) to September 30 (Wed), 2026. The first 50 participating VTubers have also been revealed.

Overview of the “AnimeFesta Dokidoki Watch Party Festival”

The event allows fans to watch anime titles available on AnimeFesta in real time alongside VTubers, sharing reactions and impressions together. Spanning approximately 2.5 months, the festival features around 100 VTubers in a large-scale collaboration.

The initial announcement revealed 50 VTubers appearing in the first half of the event. The lineup includes Aoboshi Ao, Akishiro Keika, Asagiri Suimu, Tenten Tenten, and Amano Shion, among a diverse range of VTubers primarily from the independent scene.

What Is AnimeFesta?

AnimeFesta is a subscription-based anime streaming service operated by wwwave Inc. since May 2021. The platform offers a wide variety of genres including new releases, isekai fantasy, romance, and sci-fi, along with exclusive titles and premium versions not available on broadcast television.

Upcoming Announcements

Details such as the anime lineup and the remaining participating VTubers for the second half will be gradually announced on the AnimeFesta official X account (@AnimeFesta_info) and the official Instagram. Interested viewers are encouraged to follow these accounts for updates.

Our Take

A co-watching event of this scale, with around 100 VTubers participating simultaneously, represents a notable intersection of anime streaming platforms and VTuber culture. The strong representation of independent VTubers is particularly noteworthy, as the event offers them an opportunity to reach new audiences beyond their usual fanbases. With the festival spanning over two months and likely featuring different anime titles for each participant, it could also serve as a significant awareness boost for AnimeFesta itself.
