For animation, comic and game (ACG) fans, the Universe-17 Musical Carnival might be a good choice to enjoy their National Day holiday. From October 1-3 at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, stars involved in ACG works from China and Japan, cosplayers, voice actors and popular online singers will present a great feast focused on Chinese and Japanese ACG culture.

Some of the key singers at Animelo Summer Live (the biggest anime concert in Japan) have also been invited to the carnival, including Yoko Takahashi, Ali Project and Mami Kawada.

The carnival also offers acts as the public debut of some popular online voice actors such as Achun and Zuobian Xiangbei. Meanwhile, traditional Chinese musicians involved in music production for Chinese games, such as EDIQ and i2star, will also perform for fans.
