SM North EDSA has officially unveiled the 2026 Animezing North lineup of events, bringing some of today’s biggest anime titles to the Philippines through immersive fan experiences. Now in its fourth year, Animezing North continues to establish SM North EDSA as the home for official anime activations in the country. This year’s lineup includes:
- The first-ever Solo Leveling activation in the country, running from July 3-14
- Followed by Kaiju No. 8, from August 3 to 16 for its first Philippine activation
- The much-anticipated return of Animezing’s ONE PIECE activation from August 18 to 30
- A holiday comeback for Japan’s most beloved Pokémon in December
This announcement also 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.
SM Supermalls is a chain of shopping malls in the Philippines and is one of Southeast Asia’s largest mall developers and operators, with 90 malls in the Philippines and 9 in China. It is described as the country’s most loved mall and an everyday destination designed around the lifestyles, passions, and needs of Filipino communities, delivering new finds, fresh concepts, and meaningful experiences.
One of its most popular projects is Animezing North, 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.
