Tokushima's Machi Asobi Event Planned for This Spring Canceled

The organizers also stated on Wednesday that the executive committee for the event will dissolve.

The organizers of the Machi Asobi anime and game event announced on Wednesday that this spring’s event, which would have been the 27th Machi Asobi, has been canceled because it was difficult for staff to coordinate guest appearances.

The organizers stated that while Tokushima prefecture invests in the event each year, and gave the event’s executive committee 80 million yen (about US$529,000) in the current fiscal year, for this upcoming fiscal year that starts on April 1, the prefecture did not allocate any money to the executive committee.
