‘Demon Slayer Total Concentration’ Exhibition

Whether you’re a self-proclaimed anime geek or someone who watches anime casually, you’ve most likely heard of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" ("Demon Slayer"). Who hasn’t, really? There’s a reason this action-packed anime is loved internationally by people of all ages. If you’re looking for something exciting to do this month, head over to Pavilion Bukit Jalil (Level 2/Pink Zone) to step into an experience like no other!

The “Total Concentration Exhibition in Malaysia,” which opened last month, features different zones that highlight the anime’s settings and characters, plus their Demon Slayer Corps uniforms, Nichirin swords, and techniques. There are also signed illustrations on display and a merchandise corner where you can buy official goods.

Get your tickets, which range from RM40 (persons with disabilities and kids 12 years old and below) to RM50 (13 years old and above), via Ticket2u and choose from three timeslots: 10 AM, 2 PM, and 6 PM.

Sip & Paint Night

Invite the whole family for a different kind of night out!

Their mentors will assist and teach you every step of the way.
