The gross puppy mill store is still there and the anchor store are low end which would be fine but, the customer service was horrible. I keep hoping that things will turn around but, I'm not surprised why a majority of shoppers are now buying online. I did buy a 1/2 off T-shirt and when I got home, noticed I was charged full price but, I don't even want to go back. The one star is for the mall being cleaner than it's ever been thanks to Covid. See you (maybe) in another 5 years to try again...

There was a time when I was quite adament in Asian entertainment, and when I say that, I mean more…read morethan just the typical mainstream anime. I loved anime back in the early 90s when it was niche. I loved K-pop right before the cusp of the Hallyu Wave before 2005. I even enjoyed Chinese entertainment prior to its expansion thanks Viki and the late DramaFever. Though other busiesses came before and tried to implement Asian entertainment, Echo Arts and Gifts was the one that became the "mainstay" for it overall. So being one of the only locales in Brevard County to attain Asian entertainment, you'd think they'd be high in rating. Well... yes and no. They are good but they also fall short on other things, too. Echo Arts and Gifts (which I will shorthand to Echo for the remainder of this review) is a Asian entertainment and novelty shop located in the west side of Melbourne Square Mall. Ergo, take into account they are open and closed during mall operating hours. Inside, the store is divided as follows. The west wall has primarily Japanese entertainment media specifically centered around anime. This includes knick-knacks, toys, wall scrolls, special edition anime movies and series sets, and figurines (which I will come back to for a very important detail later in my review). The "floor" is primarily trad or historic Japanese (or Asian) furniture, housewares, etc. primarily made popular to the west thanks to their inclusion and respresentation in Asian entertainment. The East Wall has incense burners and the counter selling weaponry of an Asian preference. Think of swords, sais, nunchucks, etc. Finally, the "speakeasy" back room has row upon row of manga and other unique Asian finds. Also, the somewhat 18+ content may be back here. Nothing blatantly graphic, but your body pillows adorned with images of anime girls in skimpy lingerie are on display here. Overall, Echo is an excellent one-stop locale for all your Asian entertainment needs, but that is omitting two details: 1.) If you are not willing to shop around for Asian entertainment, than Echo works for you. There are stores and businesses that don't strictly cater to Asian entertainent that sell it at cheaper prices. This is the problem other big media businesses in the mall had. Fye, for example, sells a plethora of musical CDs, but, at the time, Walmart, Target, etc. sold what was popular at a better price. Suncoast Movie Company sold a plethora of movies, but once again, other places - specifically the ones mentioned for music - sell them cheaper, too. The same can be applied to Asian entertainment, especially if you don't mind a daytrip to Orlando. 2.) Some of their wares are bootleg. My sister definitely saw this as some of their figurines were bootleg and not official. I see that Echo has gotten better in spotting the fakes, but at the time when more than half their wall was bootlegs, I brought it up with an employee there and he gave me the audacity to say, "Some of the fakes look better than the official, so you should buy those instead." Listen, I do recognize that some fakes do look better than the official, but if I go to a place selling figurines and I want to buy one that is official, then I better not hear a pitch about buying bootlegs, at all. Besides all that, Echo is generally a good place for your Asian entertainment needs. I've been going here through the two major management changes via the OG whe Jackie was in charge, followed by Sarah. I don't know who is in charge now, but I know Sarah left awhile ago. Through those years, I will say that Echo hasn't changed much. Ergo, I will give them three out of five stars, which means they are on average, a-okay. Do they stand out? Well... not anymore, but they are still the go-to in the area, and despite their flaws, they still do a fairly good job bringing Asian entertainment options to the Space Coast.

Few units still available but I'm sure by the time I post this they'll be full. Business can bee funny in this city so some turnover is to be expected. The Starbucks and Fresh Market should hold on strong though. Great location relative to Suntree as well as housing developments off Pineda Causeway.
