I love this place! So many new manga and artbooks. Everyone's always been nice and the place is…read morepacked. It's pretty pricey though - you can get things you might not see anywhere else but you'll definitely be paying extra for them. They have figurines and some blind boxes and other stuff too! Have been here a few times and will absolutely be back.

Animate LA is the North American outpost of the Japanese Animate chain, and for anime and manga…read morefans in the US it occupies a category largely by itself. I walked into a store that carries merchandise that simply does not surface at most American retailers, and that distinction was the main reason I made the trip. The selection covers a wide range. I saw rows of pins, acrylic stands, stickers, keychains, figurines, manga, and stationery filling the floor, and the depth in certain titles went well beyond what I have found at convention vendor tables or general pop culture stores. The Project Sekai section was one of the more notable dedicated areas and is genuinely rare to encounter outside of Japan. VTuber merchandise and more niche title selections appeared here in a way that reflects the store's connection to the Japanese market rather than just catering to the most mainstream Western anime fanbase. There is also a gashapon section where you can exchange cash for tokens and try your luck at the machines, which tends to draw its own crowd. Prices run higher than what I would pay in Japan directly, which is expected given the import overhead, but for collectors who cannot make the trip the markup is the cost of access. The store is worth visiting for any serious fan of the medium, and even a casual browse tends to surface something unexpected.

Ordered about 10-12 issues didn't get email or notification for shipping so I called number on…read moreYelp. His shop is very close shouldn't take but 2 days at most to ship. With taxes and shipping costed $100. I get a call back and tells me he doesn't have 1/3 of my order available due to damage. I'm easy going so I told him I'm disabled and can't drive so just pick out some stuff I'm collecting for my nephew and I like to also check them out. He says he's wheelchair accessible he'll send me pics also of his store (never does). Also says he's a Cgc grader and deals with mostly higher end custom stuff so send him a picture of an issue I think that might have value... I did nothing on that, he even tells me since I'm right by he'll just drop them off this is already a week in. I tell him sure and thank you. Next day nothing, I text him my address and wait for a response nothing again so I called him cause I got a missed call from the same area code from NY. And he seemed startled I called, said he'll be buy later never comes though. He responded later in the evening saying he could come tomorrow, I told him ok again, same thing didn't show at this point I thought he could've mailed it by now but it was family issue... I told him Friday would be ok he agreed then Friday comes no show again said he has personal issues. 2-3 with a 1/3 of what I ordered not available I asked for a refund and it's pretty much my fault at this point for believing him. Ignores my messages then later replies I appreciate your patience and offers to deliver Monday also a no show. Never received my stuff never gave me a refund... This guy is Fugazi.
