Are you looking for a local Anime shop? What about Manga and such? Do you enjoy snacks? How about merchandise? Whatever the case may be, youve found the shop to come to!After talking to the owner, I could really tell she cares about her business. She said shes had this store for about ten years now. If thats not dedication, then I dont know what is!This establishment makes you feel like you are at a mini convention in the dealers hall. There are so many amazing things in the store, you literally have no idea!While I do wish the store had more anime to look through, there is an impressive selection of Manga to buy from. Some are new and others are used. The prices for used Manga is pretty affordable. I think it was about $5-6 bucks but I know prices can change from time to time.If you have an old collection of Anime/Manga to get rid of, the owner would love to take them off your hands and get them into other peoples hands to enjoy!Besides the Anime and Manga, there are figures, Gundams, pillows, backpacks, snacks, light novels, collector items, magnets, buttons, plushies, shirts, lanyards, posters, hats, and more I am probably not thinking of at the moment.Either way, I can highly recommend you come to this establishment. Be sure to bring your nerdy friends and tell them all about Rainy Day Anime! Dont forget to bring you kids and family too because I am sure you want to get them started on watching some anime too! Ill be sure to check out their Facebook page for any events that they host and such.

This store is amazing. I wish there were more like it. Such a long drive to get here but always worth it. The employees are always so cool and fun to talk to! The interaction here is half the fun! So many great things to choose from. I love this place. Rare items I cant find anywhere else, things that would take months to get from Japan. A huge Anime and Manga selection for those who love hard copies. Weeb paradise. Makes me miss cons.

Review №35

Nice selection but the staff seemed unfriendly and kinda made us uncomfortable.We saw that in the back right corner of the store, local artists have their art being sold. A sign says something equivalent to, ask us about how to sell your art at Rainy Day Anime.So my boyfriend asked for me! And the response was, ... the commissions? with a long pause. We arent doing that.Ended up writing info on a sticky note.My point is, if that isnt something the store is doing anymore, I dont see why you should be discouraging to the customers that ask about it if you have a sign in your store to ask. The only reason we asked was because of the sign.Other than that, we liked the selection of items. Ok Gundam selection. My boyfriend liked the unique pieces they carried.The two men just didnt seem to want us to be there.

Really great selection of items for anime and gaming fans. Figures, plushes, videos, manga, and even japanese import snacks. Prices are a little high, but reasonable due to import prices.

Overpriced, but very clean and friendly atmosphere! Recorded a video here for a school project in middle school, and they were very understanding about it.

Amazing selection of manga, figurines, and more. Youll find pretty much everything here, and if not they can order it. Only lacking thing is posters, but not everyone is into those.

Ch
Review №50

Great selection, especially if figures and statues. Some are well overpriced. I understand buying local and how it is important, but $70 over the online price is a little hard to accept. They should be aware that they lose business because if it. That said, its a great store.

Its nice to see an anime shop in town. Coming from L.A. I didnt expect it. The people that run this shop are super friendly. They dont pressure you to buy and are knowledgeable ( Im an 80s and 90s fan and they had stuff from my era of enjoyment ). I love this place!

Everyone at the store is kind and more than willing to go the extra mile to help. I am disabled, and they did not bat an eye at giving me the extra assistance I needed (and the extra patience). I wish the owner had been there, so I could have told her what amazing workers she has. (Gengar and I thank you! :) )

Visited here back in March (sorry for the late review). The staff was ultra friendly and all around lovely and helpful. It was so cool to see an anime store still and business that also held unique events for local anime fans to hang out. I was really impressed with their awful and strange Japanese Kit-Kat selection as well. Highly recommend a stop here if you find yourself in Colorado Springs. Love from the 3 California weirdos that visited your fine establishment a day or two after that first bomb cyclone this spring!

This store and the people who run it are awesome. They have a huge selection of manga, figurines, and tons of other anime stuff! They have used manga available for about 50% off shelf price (maybe even less), which is great. 11/10

Review №82

Cute store, great selection of used Manga for a good price. I love that they have a Showcase of local artists, and they think that their cue cards that explain the different styles like Lolita are a great addition. Some of the DVDs are way overpriced, but for the most part everything seemed reasonable. The guy who helped check us out was very friendly but the girl was kind of quiet.

Review №88

I love this place. There is not many stores like this around anymore and even then it remains unique. Prices can be a little high for new items but it is usually face value of the item if that makes sense. Used items are more in the like new range. A really great shop.Edit: I didnt mean to offend with the price thing just letting people know it is not Walmart price but that it is a great store. I did forget to add that it is a good feeling to help out a local business .

A hidden gem in the Springs for those who like Anime, manga, and Japanese culture. Nice staff and lots to look at with items I havent seen even at comic cons. Some local art prints and jewelry where a nice touch too. Plus Im all about supporting my local businesses, so I will definitely be back for some of those awesome statues.

Great place to shop for Statues, Manga, Anime, vinyl posters, collectables, and novelties of all your favorite Japanese Characters. No replica swords though. Actually no replica anything. All they sell is certified merch direct, they also take trade-ins. Kool place if youre down with the Manga-verse.
