My son(a minor) stopped by today 12/27/2023 and was charged $70+tax of his birthday money for a plastic sword. The quality was of something you can get at the flea market for $20. I was in the mall as soon as I saw the sword l went back for a refund. Jalen working the counter said they have a no refund policy but honestly charging my teen that much was unethical and employees should be empowered to make decisions for the customer. Outrageous!

Overpriced items. Cheap quality. Horrible overall.

Most of the items that they sell are bootleg and overpriced. Go to Anime Tokyo instead for prize figures that are priced what they should be $30-35. If you want prints/posters support the artists who are selling their own products in high resolution instead of these low quality images slapped on just okay paper.

Nice selection of anime merch and some Japanese snacks. Store environment is appealing.

Got my husband a car sticker. "Happy Waifu, Happy Lifeu" or something like that. Got a new akatsuki wallet and Elizabeth keychain too. Very cute.

Awful pricing on figures that are usually $30 blown up to $70. Wall scrolls at a disgusting crumbly quality and bad cropping. They have "posters" that you can frame which are just bad png prints that go for $5 each and a $25 frame just to show some ripped google image. Don't even bother going to One Way Anime across them either, same scummy practices and bootleg figures.

I was going to the mall to pick up some stuff from Hot Topic (Giorno Giovanna plush that I love so much, etc) I saw this place right next to hot topic, and we where intrigued to go inside. I looked around, they’ve got anime shirts, jackets, lots of posters with good quality and not so good quality. They have a few figures, but nothing I was to intrigued by. I did look at their plushies, and I saw they had a Heaven’s Door plush, I was like OH WOW, I’ve gotta have it. It said $27.99, but when I tried looking to buy it online it was more than that. But it was a little too much for me, so I actually tried bargaining for the price, and the manager allowed me to spend $25 plus a poster. Pretty sweet, I got a Giorno Giovanna poster (because I really love the character.) You can try to ask for a different price with the manager, always worth a shot. The plush is authentic by the way. Cant say the same for the poster, but the poster I chose was high quality. I’ll definitely be checking the place whenever I go to see what other things they’ve got. (EDIT) I did want to mention, some of the stuff they sell is bootleg, but there’s also stuff that isn’t. If it looks cheesy, then it’s probably fake. When I went 9 months ago the reason I didn’t look at the figures is because a lot of them where fake. I just mostly go in the shop to see what they have and if anything catches my fancy. But they do sell fake stuff, so just pay attention to see if the item has the logos of the figure brand or something of that sorts, and I’ve noticed their poster quality went down. I still think you can just check it out. I had a good experience there, so I don’t feel bad about it, but I do realize it’s not the same for others.

There’s some cute stuff here & there but I would not go again because the worker there was really rude and she made the experience unfavorable, don’t recommend

I can tell that the majority, if not all, of the merchandise comes from AliExpress or similar. The prints aren't original pieces of art, just ripped from the net and printed at a Walmart or print shop (costs about 20 to 30 cents) and sold for $10 each. That's on the cheap side for an anime convention from an actual artist selling their fanart. But not for bootleg prints from Google Images. You can get prints similar to these for less than a dollar on Ali. I can also tell the wall scrolls are not officially licensed merch. I have nothing personal against bootleg stuff, I get it all the time on the Internet because it's cheaper. But the prices here are EXPENSIVE. The wall scrolls are all about $25 to $40... I saw a Boku no Hero Academia t-shirt that I sell at Walmart for $8.98 priced at $32.99... Ramune is $1.98 or so at HEB... I remember it was like $2.99 or $3.99 here. I get this is a tourist trap and rent must be sky-high, but some integrity would be appreciated for the locals who are actually privy to the subculture of anime/manga/cosplay and the merchandise side of things. It's okay to charge a bit more when demand is high, but this is straight up price-gouging. My advice would be to lower the prices to about half and you could pull in some regular customers for the off-seasons as well as for the tourist seasons. A lot of the people who patron the Outlet malls are foreigners visiting on vacation, and they can't get things shipped to them from Amazon and AliExpress like we can. It just seems immoral to charge them so much just because you can.It's a really cool concept for a shop. I was excited something like this popped up, but was disillusioned due to the quality of the items and the extreme prices.

Nice store with a lot of cool things from buttons to posters to t-shirts all at fair prices. Excellent customer service. It’s been closed for over three years it’s out of business and doesn’t exist anymore!!!
