Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the special offers at Animate. There is currently a fair for Jujutsu Kaisen, and it seems that purchase bonuses are available until June 29. If I pre-order a product that will be released in July during the fair period, will I still receive the
bonus? Since there are no planned fairs in July where I can get bonuses, I would like to know if I can get the current bonuses by pre-ordering at the store. I would appreciate any detailed information from those who know.
Exciting Times at Animate!
So, I was chatting with a friend the other day about the latest happenings at Animate, especially with the Jujutsu Kaisen fair going on. You know how it is—there’s just something electric about walking into a store buzzing with fellow fans, each of us on a mission to snag the latest merch. My friend had this burning question: if he pre-orders a product during the fair that’s set to release in July, would he still get those sweet purchase bonuses? I mean, who doesn’t love a good bonus? It’s like finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag—pure joy! He found out that for merchandise, if you put down a deposit of 1,100 yen (that’s like a little over ten bucks), you’re in the clear for those bonuses. And if it’s something else, the same deposit applies, but you have to hit that minimum threshold. What a relief! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking, isn’t it? Like, what if you miss out because you didn’t understand the fine print? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone into a store, all amped up about a release, only to realize I didn’t meet the criteria for a promotion. I remember this one time at a comic shop. I arrived way too early, thinking I was going to be the first in line for a limited edition figure, only to discover they didn’t even open for another hour! I ended up munching on way too many of their complimentary snacks, which, let me tell you, were not as satisfying as I hoped. Anyway, back to my friend’s situation. I could see him getting all excited about the idea of securing those bonuses while also taking care of his pre-order. It’s the little victories that make being a fan so enjoyable, right? So, if you’re in a similar boat, don’t sweat it! Just remember to confirm those details when making your purchase. And hey, if any of you have had your own experiences with pre-orders or bonuses—like that time you thought you were getting a sweet deal but found out you missed the cutoff—share your stories! I’d love to hear about your adventures in the world of anime and merch. It’s always fun to swap tales, right?
