Gamers and anime fans in Malaysia, here’s your sign to go for a merch run! Animate, one of the top anime, comics, and game (ACG) specialty stores in Japan, has opened a new store at the LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre — its very first outlet in Malaysia.
This marks Animate’s second store in Southeast Asia, following its arrival in Bangkok, Thailand.
At the store, otakus can look forward to a wide array of exclusive products from beloved anime and manga series, including “Haikyuu” and “Tokyo Revengers,” merchandise from VTubers of Hololive and Nijisanji, as well as games like “Project Sekai.”
To give its visitors a special treat, Animate LaLaport BBCC is giving away a free tote bag featuring designs from favorite anime shows for those who spend a minimum of RM80 on a single receipt. The offer, however, is available for the first 2,000 shoppers only.
To top it off, those who follow the LaLaport BBCC Anime Ambassador page on Instagram will get a 5% discount on their purchases!
Animate’s opening in Kuala Lumpur follows the announcement of LaLaport BBCC’s Anime Ambassador, KLP48 member Lucine. It also comes with the rising popularity of anime in Malaysia, with numerous ACG exhibitions, conventions, and festivals being held in the country in the past few years.
Check out limited-edition merchandise and exclusive items at Animate’s new store, located at LaLaport BBCC’s ground floor.
