What this is
Animate Ikebukuro's dedicated in-store gallery space, Gallery D.N.A., transforms its ground floor into an immersive Fire Force experience running through the summer of 2026. Animation footage from the TV anime is displayed across numerous digital signage screens, wrapping visitors in the fiery, supernatural world of the series. It's a free-to-enter commemorative showcase tied to a broader Fire Force original art exhibition project — compact but visually striking for fans of the franchise.
Who should go
Fire Force fans, particularly those already visiting Animate Ikebukuro for merchandise. Casual anime tourists curious about the series will find it an easy, no-commitment stop.
Good to know
Entry to Gallery D.N.A. on the 1st floor is free and no ticket is required, making this an easy drop-in visit. Animate Ikebukuro Main Store is Japan's flagship Animate location — it spans multiple floors of anime, manga, and merchandise, so budget extra time if you plan to browse. The store is cash-friendly but also accepts major credit cards including foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard. Photography policies vary by in-store exhibition, so check signage at the gallery entrance. Weekends and school holidays can make the store extremely crowded; arriving when doors open is the best way to enjoy the gallery displays without jostling.
