ANIMONIUM 2027 confirms dates, artists, and over 20 licenses in Bangkok

The second edition of ANIMONIUM now has a date. The Japanese pop culture, anime, and entertainment festival will be held on February 13 and 14, 2027 at Paragon Hall in Siam Paragon, Bangkok.

The announcement was made at a press conference attended by POLCASAN and ANY as representatives of GMMTV. Also present were Thai actors Copper Phuriwat Chotirattanasak and Fifa Thanath Osaithai, from DMD, who talked about their love for anime. Copper said his favorite is Doraemon and Fifa went with One Piece.

And as expected, the conversation got good when they were asked which character they would like to be. Copper chose Pikachu and Fifa chose Doraemon, because "he can pull anything out of his pocket." That cosmic robot cat remains a favorite in Thailand.
