Crunchyroll Anime FanFest at SDCC 2025 Recap

We finally got a chance to check out Crunchyroll Anime FanFest! This is an oasis for anyone in San Diego wanting to relax on the Rady Shell lawn and enjoy music, wind, and the sun. This two day music festival is open to the public and anyone can attend, no badge necessary. There was photo ops, food available to purchase, and freebies. Premium Subscribers got access to preferred seating areas. VIPs were treated to a sectioned off tent that had appetizers and drinks and were allowed to sit at any red chair. We stopped by when Noodles was playing their set and it was awesome! Unfortunately this year we were too tired to go see the fireworks, but hopefully next year we will be able to catch them!
