Time Out says

Opened in October 2023, Anime Tokyo Station is operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and serves to promote anime through a programme of events and exhibitions held across three floors. The facility is also a gallery of sorts, housing around 50,000 items related to 120 anime titles.

The first level is the Community Floor, where you’ll be greeted by a symbolic monument featuring images from popular anime shows including 'Doraemon', 'Lupin the Third' and 'Pokémon'. On the same floor, you’ll find touch panels that provide access to a database containing over 15,000 images from 180,000 anime episodes, which you can freely browse through.

The second floor functions as an exhibition space highlighting one anime title at a time, as well as hosting pop-up shops selling related merchandise. The basement, which has been dubbed the Collection Floor, is where you can peruse archived animation videos, audio and cels usually not available to the public.

Special Exhibition ‘Digimon Adventure 02’ & ‘Magical DoReMi #’ – Anime 25th Anniversary Joint Exhibition

Anime Tokyo Station in Ikebukuro celebrates the enduring legacy of two iconic anime series that are both marking 25 years since they were first broadcast on TV. The exhibition entices generations of Digimon Adventure 02 and Magical DoReMi # fans by showcasing the creativity, emotion and imagination that defined the turn-of-the-millennium era in anime. Expect a rare behind-the-scenes look at the artistry of both series through an extensive collection of original production materials, including character design sheets, hand-drawn storyboards and vividly painted background art. That’s in addition to costume and prop reference materials that illuminate the meticulous world-building behind each show. Interactive experiences abound. Visitors can step into the Digimon Adventure 02 universe at a dedicated photo spot featuring its key visual, or take commemorative pictures alongside beloved Magical DoReMi # characters such as Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko, Onpu and Hana. Complementing these displays are digital installations, a chronological showcase of the Digimon franchise, and insights into the latest series, Digimon Beatbreak.
