London is about to get a massive dose of anime magic. As part of Ani-May—the month-long, global celebration of all things anime—Crunchyroll has officially announced an exciting partnership with Outernet London to deliver a fully immersive, free exhibition.
Located in the heart of the city at Charing Cross Road, this limited-time event promises to bring the vibrant anime worlds directly into the physical world, offering fans an awesome weekend of interactive entertainment for all ages!
Running from Friday, 22nd May through Sunday, 24th May, the exhibition is designed to be the ultimate hangout spot for seasoned otaku and newcomers alike. Attendees will be treated to a variety of interactive experiences, including cutting-edge motion games inspired by some of Crunchyroll’s absolute biggest hits. Fans can test their skills and channel their inner striker with Blue Lock, unleash their inner superhero with My Hero Academia, or feel the power of the shadow monarch with Solo Leveling.
Free Games, Swag, and Unforgettable Memories
The excitement goes well beyond the digital screens too, with very visitor walking through the doors walking away with a complimentary tote bag packed with exclusive anime goodies. Inside the venue, guests can try their luck at a specially themed claw machine to snag even greater prizes. To make sure the memories last, a dedicated photo booth will be available on-site, allowing attendees to print out a physical keepsake to take home or proudly display on the exhibition’s community photo board.
Outernet’s “Now Trending” space provides the perfect high-tech backdrop for this visual spectacle, utilizing its famous wrap-around screens to bring the art style and energy of modern anime to life on a massive scale.
Because this spectacular pop-up is only in town for three days, you will want to plan your weekend carefully to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the action.
The exhibition kicks off on Friday, 22nd May, with doors open from 11 AM until 8 PM. On Saturday, 23rd May, the venue extends its morning hours, welcoming guests from 10 AM until 8 PM. Finally, the event wraps up on Sunday, 24th May, running from 10 AM until closing time at 6 PM.
Whether you are looking to test your gaming reflexes, score some free merch, or simply immerse yourself in the culture of your favorite shows, the Crunchyroll X Outernet exhibition is the place to be.
For those who want to keep the momentum going long after the weekend concludes, Crunchyroll invites fans to sign up online and explore their massive digital library, which boasts over 50,000 episodes of world-class anime.
