The Tokyo Anime Center is currently being remodeled and its grand opening hasn’t yet taken place, but projects have been scheduled in order to provide support for reconstruction from the earthquake that occurred in March. Limited-time exhibitions will take place in the main space inside the center, creating a PR booth that mainly features a large monitor showing popular movies and other offerings. Other monitors are placed at various locations to show the newest anime-related information from Japan. In addition, charity “mini concerts” are held in the recording studio inside the center, and anime charity auctions are held in the event space with unique items from anime-related companies.

The official shops on the second and fourth floors offer a wide range of products that are sure to be worthwhile, even for people who don’t like anime. These include special products from events or the Internet that can’t be bought anywhere else, and initial sales of various goods.
