#Hashira practice with everyone Part 2: To the national animates, “Let’s go meet the water pillar, Giyu Tomioka! ~What’s up, Giyu-san?”

Hey, Demon Slayer fans! Get ready because we’re about to dive into something super special! Part 2 of #Hashira Practice with Everyone has dropped, and this time, we’re off to meet the Water Pillar himself—Giyu Tomioka! How cool is that? I can hardly contain my excitement!

Starting May 20th, you can find a special POP of Giyu at Animate stores all across the country. I can already imagine walking into my local Animate and spotting that stand—just like when Tanjiro first met Giyu. I remember watching that episode and feeling a mix of awe and excitement. Giyu’s calm demeanor and strong presence really make him one of those characters you can’t help but admire.

This campaign is such a fantastic way to connect with the series on a more personal level. It’s like stepping into the world of Demon Slayer for a moment. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably daydreamed about what it would be like to train with the Hashira or just hang out with them. Now, with this opportunity, you can actually feel a little closer to that dream!

When you visit an Animate store and snap a photo with the Giyu standee, make sure to check out the QR code on the POP. It’s your ticket to some awesome digital content featuring both Tanjiro Kamado and Giyu Tomioka. How neat is that? It’s such a fun way to add to your collection and relive those memorable moments from the anime.

I remember the first time I participated in an event like this—taking photos with my favorite characters and chatting with fellow fans was such a blast. There’s this amazing sense of community that forms when you’re all there for the same reason, sharing your love for the series. You’ll find yourself chatting about favorite scenes, character development, and what’s coming next in the story. It’s a vibe!

So, grab your friends, head over to your nearest Animate, and don’t miss out on this chance to meet Giyu! I can’t wait to hear about everyone’s experiences—what did you think of Giyu in person? Did any special moments happen while you were there? Let’s share those stories and keep the Demon Slayer spirit alive!

Happy hunting, and may you have an unforgettable time meeting our beloved Water Pillar!
