Crunchyroll is launching the second annual Ani-May celebration! The celebration features new activations across retail, digital, and streaming. Ani-May 2024 includes new and exclusive anime merchandise and activations at Hot Topic in the United States, Riachuelo in Brazil, and exclusive retail activations in EMEA
Throughout the month of May, fans can expect a variety of officially licensed merchandise from some of their favorite series! For fans of the spookier side of anime, there will be merchandise featuring dark fantasy Black Butler and the classic action-horror Tokyo Ghoul. Fans of modern classics will enjoy the Anime Award®-winning Chainsaw Man. The series follows Denji, a man with a devil’s heart. There will also be merch from the recent hit Solo Leveling, based on the popular Korean manhwa of the same name.
It also wouldn’t be an Ani-May merch drop without gear from Crunchyroll’s 2024 Anime Awards “Anime of the Year” award winner JUJUTSU KAISEN. JUJUTSU KAISEN follows the action-packed tale of a high-schooler who becomes a curse to end a curse. Ani-May 2-24 also includes merch from the popular coming-of-age sports series Haikyu!! and the comedic and action-packed SPY x FAMILY. Plus, fans can expect exclusive merchandise from the highly anticipated sci-fi monster series Kaiju No. 8. Also, be on the lookout for Ani-May content from the smash hit shonen series My Hero Academia. That won’t be all, either!
