Immerse Yourself in Two Worlds and Their Making: "Guilty Crown x Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Exhibition" Report

The "Guilty Crown x Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Exhibition" has been running at Ginza Mirai Museum in Tokyo since October 30, 2026. Both original anime were directed by Tetsuro Araki, and the show is a joint exhibition for the two works. This article introduces the exhibition's highlights, focusing on photos taken at the press preview.

Guilty Crown, a TV anime that aired from October 2011, and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, a TV anime that aired from April 2016, have reached their 15th and 10th anniversaries, respectively. Both aired in Fuji TV's noitaminA block, and songs by EGOIST accompany the works. Incidentally, EGOIST was originally formed as an artist group with Inori Yuzuriha, the heroine of Guilty Crown, as its vocalist.

The key visual is a playful touch unique to a joint exhibition: Inori Yuzuriha and Mumei are shown wearing each other's costumes.

Upon entering the venue, you find the main characters of both works introduced on panels. In each character's section are autographs from Yuki Kaji, who voices Shu Ouma, the protagonist of Guilty Crown, and Tasuku Hatanaka, who voices Ikoma, the protagonist of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.

Besides the characters, the exhibition displays weapons, the Void settings from Guilty Crown, selected original drawings, and more. Together with comments from Director Araki and the staff, visitors can look back on the works and deepen their understanding of them.

There are also displays such as a re-creation of an animator's desk at an anime studio, so visitors can enjoy a look at the making of anime as well.

In the "Void Laboratory Experience Area," pressing a button in front of an analysis monitor displays the "Void" that suits you best. In the music area, the lyrics and scene cuts for the Guilty Crown season 2 opening theme "The Everlasting Guilty Crown" and the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress opening theme "KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS" are on display, letting visitors enjoy these memorable songs visually as well.

As photo spots, the exhibition features Inori Yuzuriha from Guilty Crown and Mumei from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. At the end of the exhibition are shikishi cards and messages from the staff and cast of both works, conveying the feelings of the creators.

In addition, a merchandise shop and a themed cafe are located on the 3rd floor of the venue, where you can buy items featuring the key visual illustration as well as goods from both works. At the themed cafe, you can enjoy the worlds of the works through food, with eye-catching themed menu items such as the "Void Release Curry" and the "Kabaneri Heart Membrane Hamburger Plate."
