Read moreOmg! Our flight’s stopover was Japan at Haneda airport, and we took a train to Shibuya just for this store! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. IT WAS AMAZING! A great experience for anime lovers! The merch was reasonable for their price, and some were really cheap! I only had a few hours though and I had to go to other places so we had to rush.

There were my favorites such as Bungo Stray Dogs, Heaven Official’s Blessing, Mo Dao Zu Shi, and other animes I love such as Toilet bound Hanako-kun, Apothecary Diaries, Ranma 1/2, and Oshi no ko!

The thing I hated most was that over half of the displays were playing their own soundtrack or movie. This place gave me a headache just from the noise pollution, and I am not prone to that. Personally I far prefer going to the internet to order...
