What this is
The Code Geass 20th Anniversary Fair is a month-long celebration held across Animate stores nationwide and the Animate Online Shop throughout August 2026. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is one of the most beloved mecha anime series of the 2000s, originally airing in 2006 and spawning films, spin-offs, and a devoted global fanbase. The fair marks two decades since the series launched, making it a significant milestone event for the franchise. Fans who purchase eligible Code Geass merchandise or place qualifying reservation deposits of ¥1,100 or more will receive collectible bonus stickers, available in 8 different designs — distributed randomly with no selection option.
Who should go
This fair is ideal for longtime Code Geass fans who want to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary while picking up official merchandise. Anime collectors and figure enthusiasts will appreciate the bonus sticker incentive tied to purchases, adding a collectible dimension to the shopping experience. Casual anime fans curious about the series may also find it a good entry point into the franchise's merchandise ecosystem. If you're visiting Japan in August 2026, stopping by an Animate store is a fun, low-pressure way to engage with Japanese anime retail culture — no ticket required.
Good to know
No ticket or entry fee is required — simply visit any participating Animate store and purchase eligible Code Geass merchandise to receive bonus stickers. The Animate Akihabara flagship and Animate Ikebukuro are the largest and best-stocked locations in Tokyo, and both are easily accessible by train. Foreign credit cards are generally accepted at Animate stores, though having some cash on hand is always advisable at smaller branch locations. The bonus stickers come in 8 designs and are distributed randomly, so fans aiming to collect all 8 may need to make multiple purchases. The Animate Online Shop is a convenient alternative if you prefer to shop from your accommodation, though international shipping options may be limited.
