d Anime Store's 14th anniversary campaign, themed "14 years old. That conflict becomes heat," puts 14-year-old anime characters on outdoor ads across six areas in four cities. The lineup includes Madoka Kaname, Tsunayoshi Sawada, and others, plus a new special movie connecting iconic scenes from the featured works.
The campaign follows last year's second installment, "13 years old. The story starts here and gets interesting," which drew a strong response. This year's theme centers on 14-year-olds moving forward despite setbacks, a recurring image across many anime works that has resonated with viewers across generations.
Ads are on display from August 3 through August 9 at locations including Seibu Railway Ikebukuro Big Board, JR Akihabara Station, Shinjuku Ad Street, and Yokohama Station. The special movie released alongside the ads lets stories from different eras and works intersect.
