What a cool shop!! It looks like a small art museum when you walk in with giant statues and nice…read morelighting. The art here is gorgeous if you're an anime/video game fan. Of course, the fact that it's like a museum, a lot of the things in here are pricey but you can tell the amount of work put into it by how detailed all the statues are. It's a rare sight and fun to visit if you're in this area! He lady worker didn't seem too interested and was kind of just looking down while the room filled with customers. Lots of kids as well so it's a little scary not to keep an eye on them in case they knock something down. You don't normally see stuff like this at regular malls so it's definitely a nice change of pace. Hoping to see more stuff like this at other malls but also not sure how often they sell something since these statues go for $500+! I saw one for $800 but it was beautiful. Love this type of art and I wonder how often they rotate what's on display? Curious and definitely visiting next time we're here! IG: @ammysalamii

New anime shop at Westfield Santa Anita!…read more So glad that this mall is getting more anime options and this place really gives the vibe of an "anime museum" haha. I believe that these may be the same people who did Hot Pot Penjing based on their Instagram. (LOVED that place and wish that I had a chance to go there more and I missed the chance to get that Touko Aozaki figure...). They specialize in anime statues. That's right, STATUES. Not just regular figures. They have those huge, super detailed, scale figures with prices ranging from $300-1k+ If you are a big One Piece, DBZ, or Demon Slayer fan, this this the place for you. Lots of huge statues for these series. In addition to these statues, there are some fancier figures, Nesoberis ($35 which is the standard price), and some playmats of various series. I'm not super big into most shonen series (as a non-casual lmao), but they did have some bigger Fate series items like Formal Craft Rin and a Scathach figure. Would like to see some smaller scale figures here from other series too. Regardless, it's a fun place to check out if you are an anime fan!

This place offers excellent discounts on everyday necessities-typically 40-60 % off retail-making it a smart alternative to local big box stores. Instead of paying full price for one item elsewhere, I can usually get two or three here. I recently started coming back to pick up the same things I'd normally buy at a big-box store, and the savings have been worth it. I'm also happy to see they've expanded their selection-dishwashing soap and automotive products are great additions at very competitive prices. Simply put, you can't beat the value here.

I asked the worker what kind of business is this and he said it's a liquidation store. I've never heard of it but they buy items from big retailers when the shelf life has expired. After the worker, took the item of the box for me to inspect, he asked if I wanted to look around. I was very curious of what they had to sell. It seems like most of the items are brand new and at very low price. I only went there to spend $50 on one item, but left with four more items spending $106 if you pay cash; otherwise, it would had been $126 for card. It was definitely a good buy day and I will be returning.

SUPER CUTE STORE…read more If you're looking for kawaii goods and gifts, this is the place to go. Honestly, probably the most inventory for the Anirollz character and plush series outside of when that company vends at anime conventions, so if you love those little guys and it's not con season and you want to see them in person, this is the place to go. They also have a very diverse and cute variety of other franchise goods like Poke'mon (the giant Ditto and bouquet Ditto plushies are super cute and I've only seen them on Korean merch posting accounts), Molang, Sanrio, Koupen-chan, Bellzi plushies, Miffy (probably the most Miffy I've seen outside of the LAX shop and ZillyMonkey to be honest), Chiikawa, Monchichi, and much, much more. There's a good amount of stationery there too and in the back corner they have a discount section. There are also a good number of blind boxes too if you're into that. I think my only qualm, though it does make sense with rising cost of living/economy/end stage capitalism, and increased tariffs were that the prices of certain things were a bit crazy. $23 for a small Halloween Sumikko Gurashi blind box. Not sure if it was out of print but god damn. Not sure if I'd get anything for myself here but if I need a quick kawaii gift stat, this is the place to go.
