Pokemon Calendars

Pokemon leads the lineup with the deepest format coverage of any single series on the page, which tracks for a franchise that has been a cultural institution since before most of its current fans were born. Wall, mini wall, desk, and a dedicated Pokemon Moves title focused on battle and move art are all here for 2027. The artwork rotates year to year so returning buyers are not looking at the same Pikachu they had in 2026, which is a small thing that matters more than it sounds when you are looking at the same calendar for twelve months.

Yes, Pokemon is anime. Technically produced in Japan, classified as anime by industry standards, even though an entire generation of Western kids grew up calling it a cartoon on Saturday mornings. The fan community made its peace with this years ago. The calendar section has too.

Kawaii and Sanrio Calendars

Hello Kitty has been on walls since 1974 and shows absolutely no signs of stopping. The 2027 Sanrio lineup covers Hello Kitty and Friends across more formats than any other series on the page: wall, mini wall, magnetic, pocket planner, deluxe flexi planner, slim wall, and a mini desk calendar with a wood stand that is genuinely charming as a desk object. If you want options, Sanrio is where they live.

Cinnamoroll has graduated from Hello Kitty adjacency into its own full cultural moment, which the calendar market reflects. Gudetama, the egg yolk who is too tired for any of this and has turned exhaustion into an entire philosophy, deserves special mention because the calendar format suits him perfectly: a new reason to relate to an egg every single month. It works. Do not question it.

Studio Ghibli Calendars

Studio Ghibli is the entry point for a lot of people who do not consider themselves anime fans but absolutely are. My Neighbor Totoro is the gateway drug of the entire genre and has been on walls in houses that own zero other anime merchandise for decades. The Ghibli calendar works because the films were built around beautiful individual frames, which means pulling any given moment for a monthly spread results in something that looks like actual art rather than a screenshot. The 2027 lineup has both wall and engagement planner formats for Totoro, which is a genuinely good choice because the engagement planner format suits a film about small woodland spirits managing the flow of time.

Shonen and Action Anime Calendars

Demon Slayer arrived and immediately became one of the most-watched anime of its era, which is reflected in the calendar: the 2027 edition comes with an exclusive bonus print, which is the kind of thing that happens when a series has that level of devoted following. Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia are both deep into their runs and have fan bases that show up for the calendar the same way they show up for new episodes. Dragon Ball Z is here because Dragon Ball Z is always here. Some things are permanent.

One Piece now has a live action edition in the 2027 lineup reflecting the Netflix adaptation, which serves both the readers who have been following Luffy since the manga and fans who came to the series through the show. Sailor Moon, which has been producing calendars since the 90s, is in the lineup for fans of the original magical girl who started a lot of what came after. The series-specific queries for all of these are real searches that real people run, and they all lead here.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Technically not anime. Made by Nickelodeon in the United States, which by strict definition puts it outside the category. The fan community's response to this has consistently been a shrug followed by continued enthusiasm, which is the correct response. Avatar draws from anime visual language and storytelling traditions deeply enough that its audience and anime audiences overlap almost entirely. It belongs here for the same reason it belongs in every conversation about great animated series: because it earned it, regardless of where the studio was located. The categorization debate is ongoing and everyone involved has strong opinions. The calendar is just good.

Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid software program represented by a teal-haired character who has performed sold-out concerts as a hologram, inspired thousands of fan-produced songs, appeared in video games across multiple decades, and somehow become one of the most recognized figures in Japanese pop culture without ever being in an anime series in the traditional sense. She is here because she belongs here. The 2027 wall calendar exists because there is a substantial group of people who want her on their wall, and they are correct to want that.

Officially Licensed Anime Calendars

Everything in this section is officially licensed, which matters more in anime merch than almost any other category. The unlicensed product market for anime is enormous and the quality gap is real. Official licensing means the artwork comes directly from studio-approved sources, the character likenesses are accurate, and the print quality is what it should be. It also means the purchase supports the studios and creators behind the series, which matters to a lot of fans in this space. Buying unlicensed anime merch is its own ongoing fandom conversation, and the short version is: official is better, for more reasons than one.
