SM NORTH EDSA REVEALS 2026 ANIMEZING NORTH LINEUP

Anime fans in the Philippines can look forward to an exciting second half of 2026 as SM North EDSA unveils the official Animezing North 2026 lineup, bringing some of today's biggest anime titles to the country through immersive fan experiences.

Now in its fourth year, Animezing North is SM North EDSA's umbrella initiative for official anime activations, where globally celebrated anime titles come to life through curated exhibits, interactive attractions, exclusive merchandise, and themed experiences at The Block Atrium.

Leading this year's lineup is “Solo Leveling,” running from July 3 to 14, marking the first-ever official “Solo Leveling” activation in the Philippines.

The excitement continues in August as “Kaiju No. 8” takes over The Block Atrium from August 3 to 16 for its first Philippine activation, followed by the return of “One Piece” for its fourth run from August 18 to 30. Japan’s beloved “Pokémon” will also stage a comeback at SM North EDSA in December in time for the holiday season.

Together, the Animezing North 2026 lineup celebrates four of today's most popular anime franchises, with fans getting the chance to enjoy larger-than-life installations, immersive interactive zones, themed photo opportunities, and exclusive official merchandise that bring each series' world to life.

The announcement builds on the success of Animezing North 2025, which featured official activations for “One Piece,” “Pokémon,” “DAN DA DAN,” and “Jujutsu Kaisen.” The project was recognized with a Bronze Stevie® Award for Innovation in Cultural or Community Events at the 2026 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards held in Macau last April, honoring its innovative approach to anime fan engagement while driving strong mall foot traffic and sales.

With the 2026 lineup featuring “Solo Leveling,” “Kaiju No. 8,” and the return of “One Piece” and “Pokémon,” Animezing North continues to establish SM North EDSA as the home for official anime experiences in the country.
