It’s a pretty nice fun little anime shop

When you first walk in your welcomed by the kindest shop owner ever at the front of the shop theres a chill little sitting area where you and some friends can watch anime while you snack on little treats sold by the shop snacks like flavored cooled drink, pocky, small finger cakes, and even mochi ice cream as you make your way towards the back of the store you’ll see all kind of anime goodness from DVDs/Blu-Rays, posters,wall scrolls, T-shirts, schoolgirl uniforms, kimonos, statues, figures, wallets/trinkets, pillows and plushies oh and even some gundams they do have some manga but very few everything fairly reasonably priced in the back they have some slot machines where you can win little snacks oh and I forgot to mention they have a anime claw machine too where you can win anime plushies and if that’s not enough they also have two small karaoke room where you and your friends can sing to your hearts content for 30 minutes it’s around $20 and for an hour it’s $35 the system used to sing and every thing is really easy to understand but if you have trouble you can just ask the shop employees other then that I just wish they had a bigger screen and dedicated karaoke program instead YouTube it wasn’t to much of a problem they do have a list of things to find to sing other then that it was really great and fun the sound was great the mic were awesome it’s a blast and think you’ll enjoy it they whole place is just really nice and clean they have multiple bathrooms one for males and females and they even have a dressing room all which were very clean if you like all things otaku I suggest you give this place a look it’s pretty awesome and I’d think you’ll love...

The store itself is clean and the snack bar is full and decently priced. The manga selection is very poor with very outdated titles, but are priced under $5 I’m assuming for that reason. The anime figures are not the best price, but seem like the only license item they have. The plushies, the shirts , the backpacks, the lanyards are all bootlegs and a lot of the art on posters and shirts are fan art. They seem to be a good spot for community hangouts and karaoke but as far as a merchandise store it is strongly lacking. The shop staff is very nice but the man at the register wasn’t wearing his mask over his nose and made a blonde joke while I was checking out. The store also has a sign that limits the capacity to 25 people and when I went there it was a little crowded with not a lot of room to move, it’s especially hard to keep social distance in this space. Most of the clothes run US size M-L so if you’re plus size you are not going to have options. The costumers seem happy to be there which is nice to see and why I can see why it attracts a lot of community activity but I am rating it as a store, not a community center.

This is such a lovely place. I come here every two weeks just to see what new things they get in stock. From figures, to T-shirts, Plushies, Cosplay attire, Kimonos, haoris, posters, manga, anime (bluray and dvd),wallets, umbrellas, vinyl decals, snacks, stickers, you name it, they've got it.

The customer service is 10/10. The owners will go out of their way to help you find something, and never mind having a conversation.

The prices are very reasonable and honestly most figures I've purchased have been a bit cheaper than you'd find them online.

I haven't tested out their 2 karaoke rooms, but I have toured them, and they're very nice.

Plus, I won a plushie today from their crane game, so I'm double happy.

Join their loyalty program too. It's free and worth it. What would have initially been $100 was $85 today. (:

Thanks Paradise Anime. I hope you have many many years at this location...
