Overload is a one-day festival devoted to celebrating New Zealand’s ever-growing anime and manga culture! With a focus on artists, this lively event sees local fans and creative enthusiasts collectively gather each year to exhibit and sell their creations.

A fun-filled day of international guests (Junji Ito - horror manga author and more), cosplay, competitions, performances, and genuine and unique collectible goodies - there’s sure to be something for everyone!
