Here are 2 sheets of (personalised) 'frame' stamps showing scenes of the 1995 animated film Whisper of the Heart directed by Yoshifumi Kondo (1950 – 1998) and produced by Studio Ghibli. Kondo was universally regarded as the successor of Hayao Miyazaki (1941 –) and Isao Takahata (1935 – 2018), but sadly, he passed away too early. These sheets are sold exclusively at the newly inaugurated Ghibli Park in Aichi prefecture, at the antique shop World Emporium (地球屋) located on the Hill of Youth (青春の丘). Japan Post has also placed a special postbox at the Park. Every mail physically put inside this postbox will be postmarked with a pictorial cancel showing World Emporium. Given the near-impossibility (at least for foreign nationals) to acquire the tickets to Ghibli Park, these philatelic items are very difficult to get.

Not sure if this sheet fits this thread, but since it is related to Studio Ghibli ... This sheet of (personalised) 'frame' stamps commemorates the newly inaugurated Ghibli Park in Aichi prefecture and is exclusively sold at the Park.

In 2021, an year before the inauguration of Ghibli Park, an event named Ghibli Expo (ジブリの大博覧会) was organised in Aichi prefecture. This sheet of (personalised) 'frame' stamps shows the posters used for the Japanese premieres of the 22 animated films produced by Studio Ghibli, from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) to The Red Turtle (2016). It was exclusively sold at the Expo location.

Detective Conan franchise originated from an ongoing manga series written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama (青山剛昌, 1963 -) starting in 1994. Following its first adaptation into TV animated series in 1996, this work was so successful that it kept being adapted into various forms. Premiering an original animated feature film in April has almost become an annual tradition since 1997; the record was only broken once in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two volumes of Animation Hero and Heroine Series (vol.4 and 10) pay tribute to the animated adaptation of Detective Conan: Issued in 2006: Issued in 2009:

This is a recent Japanese issue of 'frame' (personalised) stamps to commemorate the premiere of the animated feature film named 'Special Edition Sound! Euphonium ~Ensemble Contest~ (特別編 響け!ユーフォニアム〜アンサンブルコンテスト〜)' earlier in 2023. The 3rd season of Sound! Euphonium is scheduled be aired in 2024. For anyone who was heartbroken by the 2019 arson attack, this is definitely a good news.

Here is a YouTube video that mentions a set of USA stamps for E.C. Comics that were withdrawn from the stamp program due to public outcry. It should start playing at the correct point in the video. If not go to the 9:14 point.

Here's one of the most fun discoveries I've made in a generous giveaway from philatelia not long ago: A full used set of the DC Comics Superheroes issue from 2006 (Sc. 4084a-t). Really enjoyed sorting through these! I like how the set was laid out by USPS — the 10 heroes at the top of the sheet, with 10 of their respective comic books in the same order underneath. Unless I'm mistaken, these stamps haven't been posted in full on this thread. I did see that mikeclevenger shared the counterpart Marvel Comics Superheroes sheet from 2007 a couple of years ago. I'm now on the hunt for used examples from that set to go with this one... P.S. - Good one, youpiao!
