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. By hosting free-entry markets across various venues in key cities such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Inverness, Akuma Anime Market creates welcoming spaces for anime aficionados and newcomers alike.

These exciting markets will feature a diverse range of traders who specialize in offering licensed anime and manga merchandise, ensuring that attendees can purchase high-quality items without the need for exorbitant import fees. Beyond shopping, the market promises an array of engaging attractions designed to immerse fans in the anime experience. 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.

For those who enjoy showcasing their creativity, cosplay competitions will be held, inviting fans to dress up as their favourite characters and compete for awesome prizes. With a vibrant atmosphere filled with activities and merchandise, Akuma Anime Market aims to be a celebration of anime culture that brings people together in a fun and inclusive environment. Whether you're a dedicated fan or just curious about anime, there’s something for everyone at these remarkable events.

Thank you to all of Team BGCP who worked very hard to make the event happen and didn't get in until very late this morning but all agree the event was very much worth it

Thank you to all the traders that made the trip with many staying the night before and after because they enjoy Inverness so much. Thank you to Imperial Scottish Garrison and The Rebel Legion UK for wowing the crowds as usual and selflessly collecting for charities.

We loved the massive show of Cosplay on display, so many blew us away and was likely the best selection we've ever had at the hundreds of events that we've put on over the years

We'll be announcing a return date very shortly and will be planning on how to make the event even bigger next year
