And the Saga is over for me! All my tickets have been restored! Thanks again to @denpabooks.bsky.social and @comicsbeat.bsky.social for your amazing work and advocacy. I received the below emails in response to tickets I submitted Friday and went to check my Epic account and my tickets were back!

For those confused about the ongoing mass cancelations of Guess of Honor Tickets and the apology by Anime Expo, I wanted to share a chronological timeline of the events. People affected can correct me or add to it.

AX 2025: Anime Expo apologizes for GOH ticket ‘inconvenience,’ works ‘to improve’ Earlier this week, Anime Expo 2025 attendees started voicing complaints on social media that they had received official AX emails, which stated that holding more than one Guest of Honor signing event…

🎥EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW ALERT!!🎥 To celebrate the release of the Twilight Out of Focus Box Set, we sat down with author Jyanome-sensei for a special interview! In Part 1 of 2, read about her artistic journey, her BL history, & the birth of this series! kodansha.us/2025/06/17/i...

Anime Expo sent this email to multiple people including me. I hope this is good news but, unfortunately, in the email they didn't specify which policy they're following, (1) the policy they sent back in April that people were following or (2) the policy they added later on that caused all this mess.

So we have received an update from AX & the response isn’t satisfactory. If you have emailed us, please be patient as I am trying to figure out a solution to improve autograph opportunities to you all. I also need to coordinate w/ Ms Tanaka as her schedule is very packed. We will email everyone.

See that shine? 👀✨ All volumes of Baki the Grappler will feature foil, but ONLY during their first print run!!! So preorder now to lock it in!!

Just got word from a friend that one of her friends who received the first email on Friday got her only Guess of Honor ticket left (Masaki Watanabe & Genki Ito) nuked after receiving the second email. Wth is happening?

Thanks to the @comicsbeat.bsky.social for writing about the mismanagement of Anime Expo and thanks to @denpabooks.bsky.social for having open communication with attendees and trying to help us with the Tanaka-sensei tickets we got when they dropped as they were canceled.

AX 2025: ANIME EXPO criticised for suddenly canceling Guest of Honor tickets Attendees criticize ANIME EXPO for the sudden change in their autograph policy and cancellations of the Guest of Honor session tickets.
