I've been an anime fan for over 20 years and having grown up in this area, I've seen quite a few anime stores come and go. In this modern era where you can pretty much buy any anime merch you want online, Anime Station still manages to provide a unique, curated shopping experience with the following: 1) Constantly updating with new products and new anime goods. Everytime I visit, there's something different and it's fun to just browse. 2) Capsule machines. There's a good number of them and while they are just a bit pricey, the variety and unusual prizes are worth it. 3) Official goods. As far as I can tell, most of the items are officially licensed and displayed in an orderly, neat way. 4) Ichiban kuji. If you don't know, Ichiban kuji is a prize lottery where you buy tickets towards different tiers of prizes. There are ways to purchase the prizes online but it's much more convenient the way they have you purchase tickets here. The Ichiban kuji available here are a good mix of older anime and new ones. It's also really nice that they have the prizes on display so you have a better idea of the actual product. It's often hard to tell sometimes what a prize is really like from photos or sample illustrations online. Today when I stopped by, Kate and the young man working (sorry forgot his name) helped me out to purchase tickets for the Frieren Ichiban kuji and I was able to get the special last prize!! Thank you so much! read more

We wanted to just browse around a cool anime store because we just finished having dessert at Melo Melo so wanted to walk it off... SERVICE: Didn't really see any? Was there anyone working there? VALUE: There store seemed to be filled with really cool looking figures. They were priced on the high side though... There's a place to put your drinks in the front at... Parking is a bit challenging unless you arrive between 3-5pm then, you might have a chance at the underground parking lot... CATCH YOU LATER ANIME STATION!!!! read more

So I don't really like anime at all but I'm very much into short form animation and yurukawaii type mascots. I like to drop by different places like this and see what's available. Usually I'm just happy to find some Chiikawa or Sanrio stuff but this place really surprised me. There is merch from Youtuber Kawaisouni here. I'm a huge fan but I have never heard of any non-Japanese knowing about Npo-chamu etc. as I don't think the episodes are even subtitled in English... I was super happy and totally ready to grab an Opanchu Usagi keychain but it was a very unhappy $14, so I figured I could live without it. For a 2D acrylic keychain I thought this pricing was wack. Everything I saw was so expensive that anything I was remotely interested in became immediately unappealing when I realized how much it was. The gacha is $2 per token, with everything costing upwards of 3-5 tokens (if not sold out already). I am honestly not sure who could pay $10 for a tiny plastic trinket in this economy. Overall, I really wasn't very impressed by most of the things I saw (standard trending anime figures, plushies, etc), but I have to say the selection here was really surprising for it being such a small store (I wasn't able to find any Puppet Sunsun stuff though). So, if you're willing to pay an arm and a leg for niche Japanese stuff, it might be worth having a look. read more

We came in on a noble quest for Demon Slayer merch, armed w wallets and way too much enthusiasm!! This store is absolutely anime heaven. Not only did they deliver the goods, they didn't try to drown us in a sea of Funko Pop figures like some kind of vinyl tsunami. No offense to Funko, but sometimes you want a katana, not another tiny plastic head judging your life choices. Parking: Horrible. You'll have to circle back around 8-ish times to find one. Overall, would definitely stop by again when in the area. Parking is awful, but the shop is amazing!! read more

Great selection of anime goods and good customer service. loved browsing the shop with friends.

Super cool place best place to get my fav smiskis haha the workers are cool as well :)

A fantastic selection of anime merch and blind boxes. They have such a good array of ichiban kujis to try! This review is belated, but I wanted to praise Li-Wei for being such an excellent store clerk! We went in on the Pokémon kuji and did fairly well. However, we tried to chase one of the prizes. He was so encouraging and positive that it made a financially painful decision so fun. They have a deal where you buy three kujis in one transaction, they give you a small discount. However, I think the more unique kujis are more expensive because they are rarer to find in the US. read more

A little everything and lots of good selections and the prices aren't crazy. My son lived coming here.

Pretty good selection of anime stuff. Cool gacha. Nice friendly staff. Place is clean and tidy.

Cool looking store from the outside, but the claw machines are a total ripoff! If you look at them closely, they're definitely designed to make you lose. We tried playing a few times and were always able to pick up the items, but then the item would slip out of the claw at the last minute. Super shady. Also, really expensive to play! read more

The clerks were very kind when we kept going back to buy more card packs haha. The selection of items is also not bad. Card packs, especially the slightly more obscure anime packs, were priced well. I would come back! read more
