Lifetime is a small chain of anime memorabilia stores in Lenox Mall in Atlanta, Broward Mall in Plantation, Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, and this store in Coral Square Mall in Coral Springs. Lifenime is in a small spot formerly occupied by a tea store next to the Eye Center Boutique.
Anime is hand drawn and computer animation from Japan. In the 1980's Nintendo arrived in the United States which paved to the way to the 1990's when manga moved from a niche into the mainstream culture. Today there are anime conventions and cosplay along with Japanese television show, movies, and video games.
Lifenime sells anime figures and collectibles, hats, keychains, toys, and plush animals. Some of the collectibles they sell are based on the Japanese manga series One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Demon Slayer. When my daughter was in middle and high school she used to love Death Note and Black Butler and she attended conventions with friends and even learned Japanese. Since she has grown up I stopped keeping up with the magna series she liked but I was still interested enough to stop and peak into the store. It is nice to see something different than the many clothing and accessory stores. Lifenime is something unique for anime fans to enjoy. read more
