Every kind of story, told every kind of way. Ani-May 2026 is a month-long celebration of anime and the fans who love it.
This Ani-May, The Little Things is partnering with Crunchyroll MENA to launch a month-long celebration of anime, honoring the stories, adventures, and communities that continue to connect fans today.
Throughout May until June 15th, fans are invited to take part in a campaign that highlights the diversity and creativity of anime storytelling while bringing communities across the region together through shared passion and discovery.
As part of the campaign, The Little Things is hosting an exclusive online Ani-May Quiz in collaboration with Crunchyroll MENA — testing fans on their anime knowledge for a chance to prove they are the ultimate anime fan and win a 1-year Crunchyroll Mega Fan Premium subscription, unlocking access to the world’s largest anime library. The quiz is open to participants across the region and not limited to the UAE.
From timeless classics to the latest seasonal releases, Crunchyroll brings every era of anime together, making this the perfect prize for fans who live and breathe it.
As a retailer for anime and pop culture collectibles in the region, The Little Things offers a curated selection of anime figures, high-quality statues, blind boxes, and toys, spanning classic series to modern favourites. From nostalgic icons to today’s most beloved characters, it brings anime culture directly to fans across generations.
At the same time, The Little Things continues to strengthen its position as a regional destination for anime and pop culture collectibles, with a dedicated curated space featuring fan-favourite series such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, Kaiju No. 8, and My Hero Academia. The selection spans figures, high-quality statues, blind boxes, and toys — alongside an expanding range of collectibles that invites fans to discover even more beyond these titles.
The Little Things is located across Dubai Mall, Dubai Hills Mall, Bluewaters Island, and Yas Mall in the UAE, with a branch at Red Sea Mall in Saudi Arabia.
This collaboration reflects a shared vision between The Little Things and Crunchyroll: celebrating anime not just as entertainment, but as a culture driven by storytelling, creativity, and community.
