Every anime and manga enthusiast has likely heard of Animate, the popular Japanese chain store famed for its vast selection of anime, manga, and gaming merchandise. Exciting news is on the horizon as Animate prepares to open its first outlet in Malaysia, specifically at LaLaport BBCC in Kuala Lumpur!

For months, local fans have been buzzing with speculation about Animate’s potential arrival. This excitement ignited after a social media post hinted at a job opening for the upcoming store. The announcement indicated that Animate Malaysia would launch its operations in November, with the consultancy agency World Mode Malaysia handling the recruitment.
