We're in town from out of state for vacation and found this wonderful gem of a store. There's nothing like this back home and I've been to many such stores in many states. Everything is reasonably priced and there are a huge variety of items they carry such as posters, blindbox figures, anime vinyl record/CD, and playmats. Did I mention the wall of figures and room filled with nothing but Gundam and similar model kits?I thought I'd faint in happiness when I stepped into the room. I wish I could stay a bit longer if I had the time. Overall, this is a must see destination for all anime fans and alike if and when you're in St Louis area.

There's easily enough seating for a 50+ player event. And there are 2 gender neutral bathrooms (if that kind of thing is important to you).

Some customers even like to make you feel unwelcome if you're not a "regular" or as dedicated as them. However when I entered this store it was bright and welcoming. The manager immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in. I took a few moments to looks around as he helped other guests and answered the phone calls. As soon as he completed those task he provided me with recommendations and suggestions for what I was looking for without being overbearing. The store was neat, clean, and organized. I was very happy about that too often you find store that are the opposite. The collection of comic books was nicely organized and they had a decent amount of statues, figures, and Magic cards. They had a moderate selection of Pokemon cards too. Would have been nice to see some more. Regardless, I ended up buying more than I anticipated and I plan on being back soon.
