Promotional Events and Pop-Up Shops from Five Different Anime Series are Coming to animate USA

The Animate USA Online Store will be holding exclusive promotional events and pop-up shops featuring five of the hottest anime series from the past year!

What are animate Promotional Events?
animate shops in Japan hold promotions where customers can get their hands on exclusive bonus items when they buy certain items. These bonus items are only distributed for a limited time, making them highly sought after. Overseas fans generally have no way of getting these items, which is why Animate USA is bringing the most popular events stateside!

Upcoming animate Promotional Events
The events/pop-up shops and the bonus items being distributed are as follows:

Jujutsu Kaisen Promotional Event & Pop-Up Shop – Get one of eight postcards with every $15 spent on Jujutsu Kaisen merchandise. When you spend $30 on Jujutsu Merchandise, you'll get a special Pop-Up Shop postcard!

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Pop-Up Shop – Get one of four postcards with every $15 spent on Demon Slayer merchandise.

Haikyu!! The Morning Comes for Everyone Promotional Event – Get one of eight photo-style cards with every $15 spent on Haikyu!! merchandise.

BanG Dream! World Fair – Get one of 42 kira-kira glitter stickers and a PR card with every $15 spent on BanG Dream! merchandise.

The Quintessential Quintuplets Valentine Story Promotional Event & Anime Broadcast Promotional Event – Get one of six Valentine's Day postcards with every $15 spent on Quintessential Quintuplets merchandise during Valentine Story Promotional Event. The bonus item for the Anime Broadcast Promotional Event will be a photo card with an augmented reality photo frame (five designs available), one of which will be given out with every $15 spent on Quintessential Quintuplets merchandise.
Promotional Event Dates
All of the promotional events will be held from May 3 to June 6, except for The Quintessential Quintuplets events. The Quintessential Quintuplets Valentine Story Promotional Event will be held from May 3 to 16, and the Anime Broadcast Promotional Event will be held from May 17 to June 6.
