They have it set up exactly like it was in the previous location. It was so weird like totally déjà vu. We are all painting minis for my husband's charity stream and I needed to pick out one. They had a really good selection to choose from and I found a really cool multi head snake character (yes, it has a name and NO, I don't remember and I am too lazy to get off the couch to look, honestly y'all). The staff were friendly and helped us get checked out quickly. My husband chatted with them about various geeky things and I feel like I had to drag him out of the store.

I went in to get my nephew some items to get his gaming started. They have miniature game pieces that you can paint and some already painted. The clerk is very knowledgeable about everything in there.

Definitely worth checking if you are into gaming but not video games since this is not that kind of venue.

I am going to do my best to be as fair as possible here. I come from out of town to visit Anime…read moreParadaisu because we live a couple of hours away from anything that offers the type of product you can find here. The service has always been great over our four years of coming to this shop. I thought I left a review back when I first visited, and I was sure I left it five stars. I still think pretty highly of AP, but it seems like there has been a big shift. When we first visited, it felt like I could find wider variety of products across many genres of anime and manga. Today, that selection feels quite small. I feel like if you're a fan of things outside of mainstream anime and manga, Anime Paradaisu is probably going to disappoint you. I could be wrong of course, but it feels like a mainstream only shop, which is more than fair, but not really for my taste anymore. The store is beautiful and comfy, and filled with plenty of product. That's not the issue I have, it just feels different from what it used to be. And that is disappointing.

Definitely an awesome spot to check out if you're ever in NC. The staff truly made the visit even better. You can tell they enjoy what they do, and their energy adds so much to the atmosphere. The store itself is also really pretty and stays clean, which makes browsing even more enjoyable.

TLDR: Excellent anime shop in Raleigh. Large selection of anime, manga, and k-pop…read more I was so excited to hear about Animazed opening in Raleigh. This shop offers a wide selection of anime merchandise, manga, k-pop, and snacks. The small, yet long shop is packed with items. Many of the items I have seen before at anime conventions and the prices are similar. Pricier than you can find online. However I like the benefit of purchasing these items at a local shop year round rather than online or at annual conventions. The store is fairly organized. They have a large amount of merchandise and organize it by anime and item type with a few mixed bins. Manga is in the middle, figurines and posters along the walls, candy in the front to the left, etc. Most of the items are price marked. Prices seemed to be missing from the pillows and blankets. Overall it is a unique shop filling a niche missing from Raleigh previously.
