Animate is running Kodansha FES 2026 at its stores nationwide and through Animate mail order from October 10 to November 15, 2026. Separately, Animate is a customer-facing retailer in the two BS12 broadcasts, and no other Animate-specific developments appear in the two stories.
Animate's current activity in these stories is bookended by two Kodansha-linked events. The Kodansha FES 2026 fair opened at Animate stores nationwide and through Animate mail order on October 10 and runs to November 15, 2026. The bonus structure is fixed: buyers of eligible Kodansha books and magazines receive one Replica Mini Shikishi drawn from a set of 40 designs, with customers choosing a group from A through D and then receiving one sheet from that group without picking the design.
Animate mail order handles the bonus differently from the in-store fair, and the source points buyers to the official site for guidance on that process. The fair is the only Animate-specific retail event covered in the two stories, and it overlaps with a separate broadcast matter handled by BS12 TwellV.
That broadcast matter is the other story touching Animate. BS12's "Sunday Anime Theater" will air "Street Fighter II MOVIE (HD Remaster)" on October 18, 2026 and "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: A Lonely Dragon Wants to Be Loved" on October 25. Both broadcasts are first TV airings, and the 1994 Street Fighter II film was produced and set by Capcom with animation by Group TAC under director Gisaburo Sugii. Animate appears in that story as a retail presence, not as a production party.
The two stories place Animate in the same fall 2026 window: a Kodansha fair that runs through mid-November, and two theatrical anime titles reaching free TV in consecutive October weeks. No further Animate programming or production claims appear in the supplied stories.
