The bald guy treated me like a criminal looking at cards. The whole experience is very uncomfortable and the people are standoffish. Why work here if you're miserable?

After looking through for a bit we spotted a giant stuffy that was the same as a smaller one we already had for my daughter, so I opted to get it for her. Staff was quick to ring me up and have it bagged. Overall: A Solid toys and games store to pop into.

So I would say I found a better deal here since it's an older copy, even the lyric book was in good shape. All vinyls are put into a plastic sleeve after you buy them and appeared to be free of dust when you open them. It did take some time to get in the store, it was a Saturday afternoon and due to covid only 2 customers are allowed in and it's no time restrictions. Once inside the store is well organized and labeled with genres and prices. They even have bargain sections below, which I was offered a stool to sit down with and continue my search. So if you're into vinyls and rare finds this is the place. I know I'll be back.

I typically love Barnes & Noble, but this particular location fascinated me and not in a good way…read more First off, Barnes & Noble is in the Village District, so there's plenty of parking. Inside is like any other Barnes & Noble location; it's bright, clean, easy to navigate, and there are areas to sit and read. There were lots of sections that had books on sale for 1/2 off as well as non-book items for a discount. However, this store is probably the smallest I've been to which results in less options. What dropped my rating to 3 stars is my biggest pet peeve I've never seen in any new book store until my most recent visit...authors were not in alphabetical order! I was looking for Dean Koontz in particular, an author that is often compared to Stephen King. There were lots of Stephen King soft and hardcovers, however, I couldn't find a single Dean Koontz novel. Not only that, but the horror section had Stephen King both on top and bottom shelves as well as other authors that were mixed in but weren't letters "j" or "l", causing some chaos with finding authors. My husband didn't notice until I pointed it out and he too, thought that was strange. I did buy a pack of fun pens for $5.25 while I was there which was half off, not a bad deal for a novelty item! The cashier was friendly, it was a short interaction for a pack of pens so not much else was needed beyond that. I don't think my OCD will allow my mind to want to come back, though. I can't get past the books not being in alphabetical order by author's names, which is crazy for a Barnes & Noble.

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.

We stumbled upon Anime Paradaisu on social media while searching high and low for a shop that…read morecarried anime figures and manga outside of the "most trendy" animes out there. We did not read any prior reviews because I prefer to walk in blind vs having high or low expectations. This store is about a two-hour drive for us and I will say it was completely worthwhile. While the shop does not have a major selection of anime items, they are able to search and order items you are looking for (my understanding) at least. The amount of items on hand is enough to keep your interest though.. I say this because of the first review on this page, which was a 1 star. While the review is opinion based, I don't know what the reviewer was expecting in such a niche market. No, we weren't necessarily greeted right away when entering the store as there were a couple of other customers inside, but as we were looking around, the lone worker on site gave me a quick rundown of what they are able to help with. When the shop emptied out a little, the gentleman and I had a pretty good conversation about how the shop came to be and how they managed to survive during a pandemic, while being such a niche genre. They have a customer in me, and I will 100% be back. I walked out spending a decent amount of money for my first trip and I feel like I got out with a good amount of merchandise that I haven't been able to find online.
