Anime shopping outlet Animate in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district is hosting a special shop for Cartoon Network's Adventure Time show between January 1 and 6.


Some things to check out at the store include an exhibit featuring art from the "Food Chain" episode directed by Ping Pong anime director's Masaaki Yuasa, which is premiering in Japan on Saturday.



At the photography corner, fans can wear Finn's hat and backpack and take photos with their own cameras or smartphones. Cardboard cut-outs of Fiona, Marshall Lee, and more are also there to take pictures with.

Of course, lots of goods are being sold, including Jake and Finn plushies.

Since it is the new year, the shop even has a traditional kagami mochi display with Jake:

Website animeanime.jp has many more photos from the store.

The Japanese version of stars Romi Park (Shaman King's Ren, Bleach's Hitsugaya, Persona 4's Naoto) as Finn, Shirō Saitō (Sankarea's Jogorō, Kingdom's Hyōkō) as Jake, Rie Tanaka (Persona 3's Mitsuru, Chobits' Chi) as Princess Bubblegum, and Miyuki Sawashiro (Persona 3's Elizabeth & Chidori, Sword Art Online II's Sion) as the Flame Princess. It airs every weekend in Japan at 9 p.m. JST on Cartoon Network.
