Anime Castle — Local services in New York

I also went here a bunch of times. I bought a lot of manga from here, a Pokemon cards pack and a One Piece movie(blu-ray) from here.

They have a lot of deals for the mangas that have not so popular publishing companies, or whatever they're called. They also have fanbooks, and if you mention if there's a specific fanbook, and if there is, then they'll probably get it - when I mentioned if they had a Inuyasha fanbook a while back, they must've overheard or something- since, when I went back there later, I found a Inuyasha fanbook! I was ecstatic!

They have used mangas, and also comic books now. The used mangas are a little hard to find if you don't look carefully. Or you can just ask one of the shop employees.

The shop employees are really helpful people. They ask you if you need help finding something when you come in. Most of the time, I just say no and try to find the manga I'm looking for by myself. Since I learned that the mangas are in alphabetical order. Though the mangas I look for are, most of the time, pretty hard to find by myself. So, in the end, I had to ask the employees for help.

If you can't find the manga you're searching for, ask the employees. If they have it in stock in some warehouse, or if it's published in the U.S., chances are, they can get it for you. You just have to request it, and pay some money to ensure that you're really serious about going back to Anime Castle to get that manga, and then pay the rest when you go back at the time the employee says that your manga is gonna arrive.

Usually, if they have the specific manga in stock in their warehouse, you can get it by the end of the week.

Anime Castle also has a website, where you can create an account and trade the manga you bought for points, which you can use. I'm not going to say more on this, just go on their website, it'll explain more. Plus, you can also order your manga or merchandise online. I'm not sure if they deliver or not, but I think you can go pickup your order in the store. If I'm wrong, just go check their website, or ask one of the employees if you get the chance to drop by...

The biggest and easiest to navigate BL/GL/yaoi/yuri section I have ever seen. For that alone, you’ve earned your five stars. The store is extremely well-organized. Manga volumes are all shrink-wrapped, meaning they are in great condition, except for the heavily discounted used section. Only one copy of each volume seems to be out at any given time, which frees up the display space and makes it very easy to find what you’re looking for, and it’s also aesthetically pleasing. I am not sure how this is achieved, I can only think that the employees are extremely meticulous about it. The selection of manga is very wide; I think this place is your best bet if you’re looking for obscure titles, or if you want to discover something new. The manga are all discounted to some extent, and the staff are friendly and...

I was pretty skeptical when I found this place on Google and I am very happy to say that this store exceeded my expectations. As a figure collector, I was really pleased to see the large variety of figures they sold. I was expecting very mainstream and generic anime figures that other hobby stores of this kind typically sell, but was surprised to see figures from older shows and ones I'd never thought I'd find anywhere else but online. My boyfriend and I bought a rare cold cast gunsmith cats figure from this store for cheaper than what we found online (I would have never been able to find it anywhere else either). All of the figures I looked at were authentic, reasonably priced, and overall good quality. Store owners are very friendly too. 5/5 I would come back to this store and support their...
