What this is
This is an official pop-up shop celebrating the new installment of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, the cult anime series originally created by Studio GAINAX and now revived by TRIGGER, the studio behind Kill la Kill and Promare. Running from June 19 to July 5, 2026, the shop offers advance sales of exclusive merchandise featuring newly drawn illustrations produced specifically for this event by TRIGGER. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt originally aired in 2010 and became a global cult classic for its irreverent humor, Western animation aesthetic, and bold character design. This pop-up marks a significant moment for the franchise's revival, making it a must-visit for fans who have waited years for new official content.
Who should go
This event is ideal for anime fans, particularly those with a love for TRIGGER's distinctive visual style or nostalgia for the original 2010 series. Collectors hunting for limited-edition merchandise with exclusive illustrations will find this especially worthwhile, as advance-sale items often sell out quickly. The Shibuya location makes it easy to combine with a broader day of shopping and sightseeing in one of Tokyo's most vibrant districts. Arrive early in the event run — ideally opening weekend — to secure the most sought-after items before stock depletes.
Good to know
Admission to the pop-up shop is completely free — you only spend money if you choose to buy merchandise. Purchase bonuses (tokuten) are a staple of AMNIBUS pop-up events and are typically distributed while supplies last, so arriving early in the event period gives you the best chance of receiving them. MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 is a well-known multi-floor commercial complex directly adjacent to the famous Shibuya scramble crossing; the 5th floor is easily accessible by elevator or escalator from the main entrance. Payment at AMNIBUS STORE locations typically accepts major credit cards and IC cards, but having some yen cash on hand is always advisable for pop-up events. The shop runs for over two weeks, but limited merchandise and bonus items can disappear within the first few days, especially over the opening weekend.
