The TV anime Akame ga Kill! rushed into its second season at the beginning of October. The anime is an adaptation of the manga of the same name written by Takahiro and illustrated by Tetsuya Tashiro. The series depicts the activities of the assassination squad Night Raid which stands up to destroy the evil in the decayed capital.
Now, it has been revealed that various events will take place to commemorate the release of the Volume 1 Blu-ray and DVD on Oct. 15. A museum where materials will be on display, a fair where you can get limited items, and other events will be held.
The Akame ga Kill! museum is on now and is located in the special fifth floor space in Akihabara Gamers Honten. Beginning with raw anime artwork and collections of reprinted storyboards, there are many kinds of documents available to the public including background photography panels, illustrations signed by the author, and more. In addition to Akame’s outfit on display, Esdeath’s outfit will also be on display beginning on Oct. 19. Also, the Garapon Lottery will be held throughout the duration of the museum. With each purchase of at least 2,000 JPY worth of specially marked products in the museum, attendees will be able to test their luck at the Garapon once. Until Friday, Oct. 17, attendees can also get tickets to enter to win a personal, special gift straight from Satomi Akesaka, the voice of Esdeath.
Other noteworthy campaigns are also being held. These include the collaboration cafe “Akame ga Kill! Cafe in AkiDra” located in Akihabara’s Akiba Drag & Cafe, or AkiDra for short. Set under the command “Bring out the Night Raid’s secret hideout in Akihabara!”, the cafe offers collaboration food and drink items themed after the world of the series. The cafe will be open until Oct. 25.
Another campaign called “Akame ga Owatashi Campaign” will be held at Toranoana Akihabara B on Oct. 15. Those who purchase either the Vol. 1 Blu-ray or Vol. 1 DVD will receive the item from a staff member cosplaying as Akame. You can check the official site for more details on each campaign.
