I spent a whole day walking around Tokushima city and completed the Machi★Asobi vol.30 commemorative 'Anime Studio Stamp Rally' by collecting all the stamps.

At '

Machi★Asobi Vol. 30, ' an anime, game, and manga-related event held in Tokushima Prefecture on May 16th and 17th, 2026, various anime production studios gathered in Tokushima. An ' Anime Studio Stamp Rally ' was held, where participants collected stamps symbolizing each animation studio and related company's booth. I immediately ran around Tokushima City, the venue for Machi★Asobi Vol. 30, in an attempt to collect all the stamps.

To participate in the anime studio stamp rally, you need to purchase an 'official stamp book' at one of the following locations: Aibahama Park merchandise store, Shinbashi Higashi Park merchandise store, or Ryogokubashi Nishi Park merchandise store.

Each merchandise booth has a sign that says 'Sold on display cards'.

This is the backing card. The price is 500 yen including tax.

Also, the booth selling the stamp sheets had flyers for the anime studio stamp rally. This flyer includes a map showing where you can get stamps, so it's useful to have if you want to complete the stamp rally.

This time, I bought the stamp sheet at the merchandise booth at Ryogokubashi West Park. It had stamps from ufotable and Production +h on it.

The cardboard backing is accordion-shaped, and this is what it looks like when pressed. It features the '

Tales of ' series and ' DARK MACHINE '.

Next, we moved to the boardwalk where there were rows of parasol booths nearby.

'

Slave of the Demon City's Elite Soldiers 2 '

The booths of

Studio Colorido and Studio Chromato , which gained attention with ' Super Princess Kaguya! ', featured hand-drawn illustrations of Kaguya and Yachiyo on their signs.

The stamps feature Iroha and Kaguya from 'Super Princess Kaguya!'.

The booths for

Production IG and WIT STUDIO .

I found a signed pop-up display for '

Spy x Family '.

The stamp was '

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neuse These, ' an official parody of the series.

I've come to the booth of Production +h, the company that produced the movie '

Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction ' and the anime ' DARK MACHINE, ' which is scheduled to air in 2026.

These are stamps from the anime '

Extraterrestrial Boys and Girls, ' which was released on Netflix in 2022.

A booth for '

Caramel, ' a character goods sales site directly operated by anime studio EMT Squared.

EMT Squared's mascot character is now available as a stamp.

Next up is the Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures booth. They have a

Seven Arcs stamp here.

The stamp design featured the TV anime 'Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance,' which will air in July 2026 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series.

We walked along the boardwalk and arrived at Shinmachi East Park.

I arrived at the tent labeled 'General Merchandise.' There's a ufotable stamp here.

I got a stamp from '

Bungo Stray Dogs '.

From there, I went to the Higashi-Shinmachi shopping street and then to ufotable CINEMA.

Just past the entrance, there was a stamp station for

CoMix Wave Films, known for their work on films by director Makoto Shinkai.

The stamp design is the title logo of the Korean animated film '

Letters of Fate '.

Continue straight down Higashi-Shinmachi Shopping Street.

There's a tent where the path splits in two. Apparently, this was originally a place to buy advance tickets, but when I visited, it wasn't open yet, and only a stamp was there.

The stamp design available here is from the animated film '

Mahoutsukai no Yoru' (Witch on the Holy Night ), which is scheduled for release in 2026.

From here, we headed to the Aibahama Park stage.

I arrived at the merchandise booth at Aibahama Park Stage. If you complete the stamp rally, you'll end up here anyway, but this time I came to get the ufotable stamp that's located here.

When I went to the booth, I was asked, 'Would you like a stamp on the cover?', so I handed over my stamp sheet, and they stamped a large stamp on the cover.

At the merchandise booth in Ryogokubashi West Park, nothing was said, so I was wondering, 'What will they stamp on the blank space on the cover?' But they stamped the cover with the commemorative stamp for Machi★Asobi Vol. 30. If you want to start the stamp rally, buying the stamp sheet at the merchandise booth in Aibahama Park will allow you to get the cover stamped first, so it seems like a good way to get off to a good start.

ufotable stamps.

It was Demon Slayer.

Next, we headed to Amico, a commercial building located on the way from Aibahama Park towards the station.

There are several Machi★Asobi booths on the 4th floor of Amico.

This is the booth of TROYCA, the production company behind '

Tetsunabe no Jan! ', which will begin airing in July 2026.

It was a stamp from '

Aldnoah.Zero '.

There's also a stamp at the WIT STUDIO booth.

It was '

Shunkashuto Daikosha Haru no Mai,' produced by WIT STUDIO, which aired in the spring of 2026 .

Poppo-gai Shopping Street is located even closer to the station from Amico.

The booth of '

feel ,' a company that plans and produces anime.

The stamp available here was for the TV anime '

Summer Pocket, ' originally created by Key and produced by feel. I didn't press the stamp firmly enough, and the title was smudged, so I stamped it again on the next page.

I heard that you can get a stamp for '

Mecha-Ude ' at the booth of the anime production studio TRIFF . I was looking for TRIFF's booth when I found a poster for 'Mecha-Ude' at the CyberConnect2 booth. It seems that the stamp is there because CyberConnect2 is fully backing the planning and production of the anime.

Upon entering the booth, I found the stamp station on my right.

This is what the stamp looks like.

And the Toei Animation stamp is at the Aniplex booth. However, even walking around Poppo Street shopping arcade, it doesn't seem like there's a stamp anywhere.

Upon closer inspection, it appears the pop-up store was hidden behind some other items placed along the street, which is why it went unnoticed. Hopefully, this will be helpful for anyone having trouble finding it while walking through the Poppo Street shopping district.

This was a stamp for the animated film '

Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart, ' which is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 13, 2026.

And with that, it's finally complete! We've returned to Aibahama Park once again.

You can receive your prize at the booth where you purchase the stamp rally sheet for the anime studio.

Please note that the prize for completing the stamp rally is only available until 5 PM. I was able to submit this stamp sheet around 4 PM. I was taking part in events and covering live performances while doing the stamp rally, but it took quite a while because I spent time wandering around looking for hard-to-find stamps.

Hand your stamp sheet to a staff member and have them check it.

They said it was OK, so they stamped the back cover.

'COMPLETE!!'

The prize for the anime studio stamp rally is a set of three stickers featuring the company logos of anime studios. You can choose which ones you like, but they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If there's a studio logo you definitely want, it's probably best to prioritize visiting that studio's stamp rally.
