Jump Festa 2024 Brings English Subtitles to International Fans with Live Streaming
Jump Festa 2024 embraces global fans by introducing English subtitles for livestream Shueisha's commitment to accessibility shines through as they reveal exciting details about the upcoming event
Shueisha officially announced the international livestream of Jump Festa 2024 on Friday, December 1, 2023, as well as revealing some intriguing details. The Red Stage, also known as "Jump Super Stage RED," will offer simultaneous English interpretation on its livestream, as per the latest information from the manga publishing giant.
Jump Festa 2024 maintains its commitment to international accessibility, with past years featuring global streaming opportunities and English subtitles. This year, the event will include live interpretation, along with archived videos available for a limited time in December 2023.
Jump Festa 2024 continues Shueisha’s efforts to make event more accessible for English readers
Currently, this feature appears to be restricted to the Red Stage at Jump Festa 2024, based on the information available at the time of writing. However, if it helps attract more English-speaking attendees to the events on the Red Stage, it is likely that this feature will be implemented at the main Blue Stage in the future.
The latest
The Red Stage is exclusively reserved for the interpretation mentioned above, leaving fans wondering which series will and won't have this privilege at Jump Festa 2024. Fortunately, the full event schedule is already available, making it easy to figure out which major series will be on each stage. Major series on the Red Stage include Haikyuu!!, Jujutsu Kaisen, Blue Exorcist, My Hero Academia, Kaiju No. 8, Spy x Family, Chainsaw Man, and One Piece. Major series on the Blue Stage that won't have simultaneous English interpretation include Demon Slayer, Mashle, Dandadan, Undead Unluck, Gintama, Bleach, Dr. Stone, and Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku.
It's disappointing that some well-known anime and manga series won't have simultaneous interpretation, but their presence at the event is still exciting. Jump Festa 2024 will feature a "Jump Studio" stage for new and popular titles from Shueisha, in addition to the main stages. The schedule for the two-day event's Jump Studio stage is as follows (in local Japanese Standard Time):

Editor's P/S
As a hard fan, I'm thrilled to hear that Jump Festa 2024 will offer English subtitles for its livestream. This is a fantastic step towards making the event more accessible to international fans who may not be fluent in Japanese. I hope that this move will encourage more people to tune in and enjoy the festivities.
The fact that the Red Stage will feature simultaneous English interpretation is particularly exciting, as it will allow fans to follow along with the action in real time. I'm also intrigued by the inclusion of the Jump Studio stage, which will showcase new and popular titles from Shueisha. Overall, I think Jump Festa 2024 is shaping up to be a must-see event for anime and manga fans around the world.
