A store dedicated to all things anime!?! The store was also very LGBT inclusive. Don’t really see unique & inclusive spaces like this outside of Chicago. Also, I was able to score a Sailor Jupiter messenger bag! Wish I lived closer, but totally plan on supporting this business through their online sales!

Terrible experience. I will make sure to tell everyone that I know that this business owner should not be in business. Do not waste your time.

Really cool store. They have a surprisingly good selection of D&D and Warhammer 40k minis and books/boxed items. They really compliment the square, I stop in every time I am in the area. Usually find something that I absolutely cant live without.

As an anime fan and lover of general geekiness, and with my own kids following me down that path, its a wonder to have a full-blown retailer dedicated to anime and anime merchandise in my hometown. The store owner is awesome and their selection of plush, shirts, books, and many other items is varied. There are lots of other Fandom here too, from D and D to American comics to Harry Potter. There are even Japanese snacks! I highly recommend taking a look.

I really enjoy going in this store. I have bought many things for myself and as gifts for others. The staff is always nice and very helpful. I even called them once to ask them to hold something for me for two days and they were more than happy to do so. Stop by check it out!

This place carries a wide selection of merchandise that includes books, manga, DVDs, games, and toys of all kinds. You can even get Japanese snacks, like KitKats from Japan which are amazing. The store was very clean and organized, and the staff were super helpful and friendly. Definitely worth checking out if youre in the area.

If the store is not doing so well maybe consider dropping your prices or doing a buy one get one free deal that will help your business and bring more people into your store but mom and pop stores that have your prices on the items you’re selling generally ends up going out of business cause your not Walmart and you’re not Meijers and please don’t brush ppl off when there just trying to help you it’s very very rude
