If you’re an anime fan or a Japanese culture enjoyer, this article is perfect for you. Here are some of the best anime skins that you can add to your inventory in CS2 today!
Also, if you’re looking to trade, buy or sell CS2 (CS:GO) skins, be sure to check out Skinsmonkey for the best deals possible!
1. AUG | Akihabara Accept
The AUG Akihabara Accept is easily one of the best anime-inspired skins in the game. Its vibrant color scheme is a reference to the colorful parts of Akihabara, the popular Tokyo district, that’s famous for its bright and flashy style. The weapon’s stock features many different details, referencing the Counter Strike player culture, which can be inspected in-game. Most importantly, it features a female CT agent drawn as a cute anime girl. The weapon’s stock looks like something straight from an anime magazine cover, and if you can afford the hefty Steam market price, Akihabara Accept is a great pick for any anime enthusiast in CS 2.
