The Akuma Anime Market
From its humble beginnings in Japan, anime has evolved into a significant cultural phenomenon that transcends mere entertainment to become a global sensation cherished by millions. In earlier times, anime enthusiasts often faced challenges in accessing their favourite content, relying heavily on costly imports of dubbed VHS tapes and DVDs, which were often limited in availability. Today, however, the landscape has dramatically changed, with anime merchandise readily available in local stores. Fans can now find an array of products that includes not only Blu-rays and manga but also an extensive selection of plushies, intricately designed statues, eye-catching keychains, collectible trading cards, and much more.
In response to the growing demand for anime culture, Akuma Anime Market is dedicated to making this beloved genre even more accessible and affordable for fans throughout Scotland.

Participants can look forward to interactive meet-and-greet sessions with beloved anime characters, unique photo opportunities to capture memorable moments, and fun inflatables and props designed for all ages.
