Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport BUKIT BINTANG CITY CENTRE (hereinafter referred to as the “LaLaport BBCC”) has unveiled ACG BASE, a one-of-a-kind destination dedicated to anime, comics, and games (ACG) and urban pop culture. Designed as a platform for passionate fans and curious newcomers alike, the all-new ACG BASE transforms LaLaport BBCC into a vibrant hub where imagination, creativity, and community come alive.
With the launch of ACG BASE, LaLaport BBCC reinforces its evolution as a lifestyle destination with strong Japanese DNA, introducing fresh experiences that redefine urban retail. As Malaysia’s newest and largest space dedicated to pop-culture fandom, Level 2 of LaLaport BBCC is now a lifestyle playground where fans can explore, shop, dine and connect in a setting inspired by their favourite characters and creators. The space boasts over 20 stores, featuring some of Japan’s most influential brands and fandom platforms, offering exclusive and authentic merchandise, limited-edition collaborations, and an interactive retail environment.
Fans can now explore Japan’s leading anime retailer, animate, which has opened its permanent store at LaLaport BBCC following the success of its previous pop-up. Spanning over 3,900 square feet, the store delights anime, manga and game enthusiasts with a wide range of authentic collectibles and exclusive items. The former animate Pop-Up Store has been transformed into an exclusive ‘Only Shop’, offering limited-edition merchandise dedicated to specific anime or manga titles. In addition, a themed café located on the LG1 floor regularly refreshes its concept, bringing fans new and exciting experiences with each rotation.
Adding to the excitement, KLP48 will take to the stage at their very own KLP48 Theatre, the group’s official home base in Malaysia. A sister ensemble to Japan’s iconic AKB48, KLP48 will offer daily live performances, giving fans the chance to cheer, support, and connect with their favourite members beyond concerts and festivals.
The ACG BASE lineup also includes an exclusive selection of stores such as Bad Egg Club, Dimension Poptown, Doko Koko zones (Café, Goods, Pick Up, Space), K+ by Kadokawa Gempak Starz, KOBO 7, Mori Mory, Nullset Goods, NOT ONLY TOY, ORB Café, Photoism PLAY, Q Pocket, The Pink Room, Vibe Max, and Xumi Good. The hub is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2025, with anchor tenants debuting in Malaysia from mid-October onwards.
To celebrate the opening of ACG BASE, LaLaport BBCC is introducing a series of exclusive promotions. From 14 to 30 November 2025, shoppers can look forward to a series of delightful rewards at ACG BASE. Spend RM300 in a single receipt to receive a RM20 cash voucher, or spend RM100 in two receipts on the same day to enjoy a complimentary box of chocolates or cookies from Beryl’s. To add to the excitement, shoppers can also collect a Sticker Rally card at ACG BASE from participating tenants and redeem another RM20 cash voucher*.
With ACG BASE, LaLaport BBCC continues to transform its offering by introducing a dedicated pop culture precinct, complementing Mitsui Outlet Park BBCC, Malaysia’s first city outlet, along with the debut of exclusive Japanese brands and a family entertainment centre, namely, Molly Fantasy.
