Very happy with the service we received at Hammer Girl Anime. Went to get a birthday gift for our…read moreson and we could not find the item. Showed the employee working a picture of the item and he went out of his way to get this for us. He explained some of inventory was in boxes due to returning from a convention, but he would look into it. He sent a picture to the manager who confirmed they had the item and he went into the boxes to grab it for us. He really made a huge difference for us, as this was the only thing our 7 year old wanted for their birthday. The employee was so helpful in answering any questions we had and made our experience pleasant. The selection at the store is great and we enjoyed browsing the variety of products. Will be shopping here again!

If we start with merchandise, you can find almost anything you could be looking for. Figures, trading cards, pins, international snacks, stationary, drink water, clothing, plushes, mangas, movies... should I keep going, because I absolutely can! The selection is huge and regularly changing. It can be a bit hard to find older anime/manga merch but as of yesterday I was able to find some Trigun(1997) items which I thought was fun! If you or your children like Pokémon, you're in for a treat!! The staff knows so much about everything!! Each of them are the human Wikipedia of their favorite genres. It's so refreshing to be able to ask if they know something like --- and be directed to something you will love! They are welcoming and warm, if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. You will be helped and educated! The atmosphere is comfortable! You don't have to worry about feeling out of place, this place is welcoming to all. The TV in the front is always playing a different anime which is a cool way to find new anime's to watch! My husband and I started playing in the Pokémon and Final Fantasy card tournaments just recently and everyone is so warm it's wonderful. We instantly felt welcomed. If you like Anime, Manga, international TV/Movies I'd highly suggest going!
