Comic Fiesta, one of Southeast Asia’s largest and longest-running convention event, will be hosting two anime premiere screenings on December 21st, 2025. The screenings will be held in conjunction with the main event on 20th and 21st December at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
Ani-One Asia will be hosting an advanced premiere screening of Sentenced to Be a Hero: The Prison Records of Penal Hero Unit 9004 (Yuusha-kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku). Attendees can catch the special 60-minute first episode starting 5PM at the Hospitality Lounge 4, Hall 4, KLCC.
Based on the Japanese light novel series written by Rocket Shokai, the series is set in a world where becoming a “Hero” is the worst punishment in the world. Those convicted of heinous crimes are sentenced to become “Heroes” and forced to enter the mandatory military service in the war against the Demon Lords. These convicts are not even allowed to die—if killed, they will be resurrected to fight another day.
Abnormal Studios will also be premiering Shoji Kawamori’s original anime film Labyrinth (Meikyu no Shiori) in a special ticketed screening happening at TGV KLCC. Director Shoji Kawamori, the creator of Macross and Aquarion, will also be present for a special Q&A session after the screening.
Labyrinth follows the story of Shiori Maezawa, an ordinary high school girl who finds herself in an alternate version of Yokohama. It turns out that she is trapped in a world inside her smartphone, where an alternate version of herself exists and is causing chaos. The film opens in Japan on January 1st, and Abnormal Studios will screen the film in Southeast Asia in 2026.
