While this was to be expected, many fans were holding out hope that the convention may be safe due to it’s August dates. However, any hope that the show may go on has now been put to rest.

In regards to the exhibitors who were looking forward to showcasing their work at the popular expo, they will soon be hearing from the Crunchyroll team as well.
