Japanese anime streaming service d Anime Store celebrated its 14th anniversary in July 2026 with a major outdoor advertising campaign spanning four cities and six areas across Japan — including Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. The campaign stars anime characters who are 14 years old, drawn from a wide range of beloved series.
Theme: “Age 14 — Where Conflict Becomes Passion”
Building on last year’s well-received 13th-anniversary campaign, which carried the theme “Age 13 — Where the Story Gets Good,” this year’s campaign adopts the theme 「14 歳。その葛藤が熱になる。」 — roughly, “Age 14: The Conflict Inside You Becomes Heat.” It captures the spirit of 14-year-old characters who face setbacks and self-doubt yet press forward — a universal feeling that resonates across generations of anime fans.

Characters selected from across different eras and genres include:
- Kanzaki Ranko — THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls

Together, these characters — spanning decades of anime history — embody the raw energy and inner turmoil unique to being 14.
