Reviews of Anime Zakka
Amanda Wood
The staff here was so friendly! Pricing was a touch much, but I would gladly pay what I did because of the atmosphere. Well lit, plenty of product, super helpful staff and clean. You can tell the staff take pride in their store. Beautiful. I can not wait to go back!

I don’t know if I’ll have enough space to write about all the things I love here. Basically a mini convention, they got so much new stuff when I went. This hidden gem on newbury st is a must see tourist attraction. If you go to the newbury comics across the street don’t spend any money there and save it for Anime Zakka cause you’ll find so many things that you want here. They had so much niche anime merchandise. The amount of new stuff they had was crazy. They have gigantic plushies, limited edition rare gundam, spy family, chainsaw man, berserk, Miku, literally anything you could ask for. The studio ghibli stuff there was amazing, some collector items I’ve never seen before. I took pictures of everything so check it out. Definitely ask for specific merchandise as I introduced myself as a local guide and they even let me see their storage! The amount of extra merch I saw in there was mind blowing. If it is not on the floor you have to ask and they will most likely have it in the back. They have so much limited edition stuff coming soon and as someone from Japan, I would say that this is a paradise in America. Lastly, the staff was amazing. You see all the reviews about the staff and they are all spot on. The staff is sooooo nice and helpful. Sorry for the long review, and thank you Henry(owner) for the great hospitality.

They had a lot of boot legs, and their pricing on legit merchandise was high. Not just "we need to cover our space" but double MSRP on current catalog items. I inquired on some vintage items that had no price. I'm fairly confident they pulled a price out of thin air rather than attempt a reasonable price point.
Stephannie Massi
This place is AWESOME! We are in town from South Carolina and had to stop by this place. Let me tell you when I say I am so impressed it's a understatement. The store has everything and is such a unique, well organized and put together store. Then to top it off the staff is top notch. They went above and beyond without hesitantion to take good care of us. We will be back next time we are in town. Thanks again!
Gregory Pittsfield
Leaving my first review ever just to let people know how absolutely awesome this place is! Cane in with my friends after visiting uniqlo and muji and discovered my new favorite spot in boston!!! Figures keychains posters basically any fan collectible you could ask for from an anime series they got it. Employee Tyler even brought out some cool gudetama stuff for me from the back 😵 never hurts to ask! thank you and I'll be back soon:D
Emily Cramer
This is the little shop where dreams come true. It’s a place where all are welcome and you can find all kinds of wonderful treasures. Shout out to Tyler who was always my One Piece hookup! Absolutely one of my favorite places in Boston.
Millenia Saenz
I always enjoy coming here because it’s the only place where I can find good quality and authentic figures. Staff are super friendly and always willing to assist with whatever you need, making it a comfortable environment to shop in. The vibes in here are 10/10, anime is always playing on one of the background tv’s. Been coming to anime zakka since it’s location back in Harvard and have never had an unpleasant experience since. Definitely my go-to place for any anime related items. Including my favorite purchases from there in the pictures. :)
nyli
Went there during no tax day! I bought a Xiangling keychain from Genshin and wish I bought another thing too. I loved all the cute stuff they had though so I would definitely go again!
Cristina Bussolini
First I just want to say that it would not be a trip to Boston without visiting Anime Zakka. My daughter and I come here as often as possible, we absolutely love this store and the people who run it. Everyone is so knowledgeable and so friendly and super helpful. It has never been a disappointment, and the quality of the items we have purchased has been top-notch. I will also say the pricing is more than fair as many of these items are difficult to find in the US. If you or someone you know appreciates anime, this is the place where you can go to find just about everything. Cannot wait to come back again soon. Thanks for your impeccable customer service.
-Cristina
andrew turpel
First I will start by saying, I called to find out what time they were closing and was told they would stay open a little later for us. They 100% stayed true to their word and made our whole experience extremely enjoyable. Tyler went above and beyond to ensure I left a satisfied customer. The prices were also great, especially for the quality and selection provided.
kiro sky
This store is really great for people who love anime. They got at least something for anyone who comes into this place highly recommended. And if you see something there that you like I suggest just buying it because stuff here goes away really quick
Teodoro Armenteros
These are the type of stores that small neighborhoods are missing. They offer unique and distinct products for individuals of all ages. They have an interesting collection of gundams, some of which are limited edition or hard to get. I highly recommend visiting this store even if you're not familiar with the products they sell
Alexander Cannon
Everyone was so incredibly helpful in this store! Fantastic merchandise and knowledgeable and attentive employees who really knew their stuff! Brian was the last name I caught as I left, but my girlfriend and I were helped by everyone else working there too. Each and every one was wonderful! Thank you so much, EXCELLENT experience!
Monica S
great location full of plushes, pins, and unique gifts. each time there’s something different, but things do sell out quickly so I recommend getting what you want right away. Tyler helped me and a friend out with a special figurine and was super kind and attentive :))
Leonardo Xivir
Visited while on the trip to Boston the everybody on staff was pleasant and friendly. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted and asked if I needed helped. The owner I think was very knowledgeable about the products he was selling. If I'm ever in town again I would stop in again. Just for the experience alone. Other then that they have lots of anime related merch.
Kat Hunter
Not only do they carry a wide selection of figurines/plush/various other merch catering to any anime fan, but their store layout and atmosphere adds to the customer experience. All staff was friendly, with the male employee on the floor (didn’t catch his name) went above and beyond to satisfy me (offering multiple trips to the back to show me other products based on my personal interests). It was my first time there and i’ll definitely be back :)
Rocephin W
So sad the store in Cambridge got closed down due to the pandemic. They always keep up with the most popular anime (and games). The space is tight, so not everything is included here. I wish they had more anime-themed household items instead of none related characters like pusheen.
vintasaru
friendly staff, wide variety of items and overall amazing service - overall the best anime shop i've been to! went recently and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of genshin merchandise~
V Pawar
Great little store on Newbury street. Unique Pokémon and other anime items (plushies, bags, keychains, cards, collectible figures etc.) kind of what you might find on a trip to Japan. Expensive, but the browsing experience and the excitement of the kiddos makes it worth it.
Trang N
Had a very pleasant experience. The workers were very nice and welcoming. Store is very clean and a great selection to choose from!
Anthony
Literally the best store in Boston to buy Japanese imported anime goods! Plushies, trading cards, posters, pins, and everything else you would need!
Riley Rosati
This store was amazing, I ended up staying in there for at least 30 minutes wanting to buy everything.
Looksies with Lipe
What a cool and amazing spot to get anime merch. Things are reasonably priced, some more than others. Very well organized.
Heavy foot traffic because it was summer and on Newbury St after all so you kind of better expect it.
Aisha Kafati
This is the BESTTTTT anime store periodt!!!
The wares are unique and shipped by hand straight from Japan. If you’re looking for quality merch and unique pieces go no further ! The best Gundam figurines and the best support!! Love coming here ! You can’t go wrong gundam sakura kenshin Miyazaki etc. 10 stars all the way !!!
Aiko
Outstanding Customer Service! A very welcoming environment and they will go out of their way to get you certain things you want! Jace and Tyler are amazing. Customer service at its finest. Walked out of there with a giant Cinnamoroll plushie! If you like Anime and you’re around this area, I highly suggest going here!
Em's
tyler was extremely helpful and friendly thank you so much
Makeda Payton
Tyler was very helpful today, he talked to my daughter and helped her pick a really nice Squirtle Keychain. We will definitely be back soon!
Kathleen Snow
There's not a huge selection, but what they do have is nice, such as many Miyazaki movie keychains and plushies, bags, some Vongola rings from Reborn, Pokemon plushies, a few types Pocky, printed shirts, and various other things that are rarely seen in other shops.
It's a small shop but very neat and clean.
caleb enos
Amazing place! The staff is super nice and super accommodating!! A great and wide selection of anime merch!
Harry W. Lopez III
Tai and the staff were excellent, friendly and helpful I def recommend stopping by and taking in all the anime and ghibli lore, great spot, better vibes 😤🪶🫡❤️🔥 …
Mairen Flanagan
I spent nearly an hour there browsing around! The selection is much more focused on currently popular series (Demon Slayer, JoJo, One Piece, etc), but there's so much to choose from. I was very excited to be able to find Genshin Impact merch outside of a convention. The staff were extremely friendly and more than willing to open up cases and go to the back to find anything you were interested in. Definitely would recommend.
Nikhil Nikolaos Sierros
Staff was incredibly friendly and very sweet! The items they had were jaw dropping and eye popping (their jojo figures are outstanding). I could not believe their collection. Will absolutely be coming back here for more figures, and highly recommend anyone coming to Boston or near Boston to stop by this place!
Ivan Carpio
Brian or Ryan was an outstanding employee/customer service and should be commended/promoted for his honesty and expertise on Mecca Robots and Manga merchandise. I wish that you’d stay open til’ 9:00pm though.Thank you and I will return. 🙂 …
Hector Cantres
Very nice spot. The two crew members we interacted with (I think one was the owner) were very helpful. It was a little too crowded for my taste, especially with what is going on. But, at the same time, any place with more than 1 1/4 person is too crowded for me. LOL
Stephanie Deleon-Hernandez
It’s a very friendly and chill place. The employees are also very helpful, one even went out back to check if they had more things of an anime character that I liked. A++
christina bozarth
What a gem this place is! We had the best time checking everything out! Jace and team were exceptional in finding us the best items to purchase after we narrowed down what we were looking for and price point!!!! Cannot wait to go back! Thanks!
Renee Hampton
The new location is HUGE and so full of great merchandise. Such excellent variety in products, and SUPER helpful staff. Much love to Henry, the owner 🥰 I wish only success for him and his fantastic store ☺️ I am always sure to bring friends in here when they are visiting the Boston area. …
Peter Han
Small store limits products to a mediocre selection, mostly towards mainstream content; think: SAO, Ghibli, Miku, DBZ, Re:0, and the like. Wide range of product quality, from cheap garbage to high quality figs.
Alberto Moquete
Lots of items and accessories, the employees are all up to help and kind. The environment is nice so is the music. Loved it, definitely coming back.
Alex Bennett
great shop! they have many things i haven't found in other shops with similar products
Shannon McCarthy
Amazing store!!! All of the employees were really helpful and friendly, especially Tyler!
Mauro Pennacchia Jr.
By far the best customer service my family has experienced in any anime store we’ve been in coast to coast! The staff is really engaging and Tyler stood out to find exactly what we needed and knew so much. He made our trip! Great variety of products and anime styles, shows and characters!
Doug B
Found this store with relative ease with the outside design and the interior had a great selection of items. Plus shirts designed by their own artists! Whether buying or browsing the staff was friendly and super helpful!
Ben Brophy
This is a fun store. I am not an anime expert, but I love looking around. My son *is* an anime expert and he loves it. I was pretty tempted to by the plastic model of a Cup Noodle.
ash
one of the best stores i’ve been to buy anime merch! ive bought multiple figures and small items such as posters, necklaces, keychains from here and they are amazing quality! i love it here!
they also have AMAZING customer service, the employees even recommended me an anime, and helped me find a figure i liked.
Sofia Bekatorou
A very friendly environment and great service bringing Japanese gifts to people we love.Sofia Greece
Kayla Kaczowski
Great experience, could have more varied selection!
This place has such a cozy, comforting atmosphere. Pokémon S1 and Demon Slayer were playing in the store, which gave a nice nostalgic and modern contrast, creating a timelessness to it. Most of the merch offered are figurines. There was a very small sticker assortment — I would've liked to see more. Some nice keychains but could've had a wider selection. I purchased an All Might sticker for $2 which is the cheapest item in the store. I also purchased a $24 Baby Roaslina plushie, which definitely was overpriced but as a collectible that I haven't seen in a store before, I decided to buy it.
Christina Nicholls
I went in today for the first time and it completely exceeded my expectations. Not only were there fantastic items for sale but every person on staff was wonderful.
I will returning as much as humanly possible.
chris stethem
The staff is super friendly and approachable. As for the selection of figures and collectibles, I find it unrivaled in that regard. As an anime fan and/or collector, I would highly recommend stopping by and check it out.
Sammi Lai
If you are ever in Newbury Street you HAVE to make sure to visit Anime Zakka. The ambiance, selection, and customer service are all amazing!!! One particular employee, Brian, helped me with a figurine that wasn't on display, and he checked the back and found it for me.
10/10!
Jonathan Joestar
The best place for anime gifts. I visited Boston for winter break from England and I found so many gifts for all my friends and grandkids back home! The customer experience is superb, employee with the Naruto headband helped me get everything I needed and even went out of his way to show me some limited edition products from the back. If you are ever on Newbury St, you have to visit no matter what.
Jesse “this guy” Chiu
Great selection with a great staff to boot! Also great placement of screens showing anime in certain corners 👌 …
Jihane El Balaoui
Tyler was great helper!!! He cut me some deal!!!!! I’m sooo grateful 🥰 …
Nina Vo
Great ordering experience! Extremely fast delivery service too :D
Andrew Collins
Amazing store - such great, friendly service!
selestyl
I love Anime Zakka! I was so stoked to see them in their new, larger location. The staff is always kind, friendly, and helpful. Thanks for being our local anime shop!
Skyler Johnson
Noam, Tyler were awesome! Store is amazing, things I’ve never seen!!! Definitely my new shop
Dj BDawg617
The manager was very knowledgeable and helped me make a great decision on some purchases
Lexi Stiller
I love anime Zakka so much! My only complaint is that they do raise their prices quite drastically compared to other small businesses that sell Japanese items (figures, plushies) but they definitely have some really neat things!
The Creative Spot
They have such great service! Great Staff! Will definitely be back!
Esther Paik
Small store right across from Newbury Comics that is wholly focused on, you guessed it, anime. It's very heavy on popular anime series/movies, Studio Ghibli, and Pokemon/some other Nintendo products. It's all merch like posters, pins, dolls, but also offers some home goods. There's 3 TV Screens that play different anime movies/shows and it's entertaining to stop and watch as you shop. It's fun to browse and a must-visit if you're a Studio Ghibli/anime/Pokemon fan!
Natalie Rossing
Store was clean and set up very nicely. I was coming looking for stuff for my sister so i was on a video call the whole time. Staff were SUPER helpful in my search for One Piece figurines. I absolutely recommend this store,
Dylan Lee
Service was excellent and everyone was nice 5 stars
Zhizhuo Zhou
Heaven for people who love anime. They play Ghibli studio soundtrack in the store. The environment is clean and heartwarming (music).
Tom Sullivan
Felt like being at a convention. Everyone was very nice and helpful too.
Dawn DeMeo
Love this store! Super friendly staff. Tyler and Jayce are fantastic and helpful!
Niki Thelismond
Tyler on Newbury street was fantastic. Such an amazing store! Amazing and friendly people!!!
wrmeehan
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Will look in back for items for you no questions asked.
Jason Subhani
Straight from Japan with patrician selection choices.
Akua Roach
This is such a cute little shop! Everything is organized and displayed so well and the staff is wonderfully helpful without being pushy. You're not going to find everything, but you likely will find a little treasure (or more!) that you'll want to take home.
Douglas Brown
Friendly owner, great staff and huge selection. Any anime fan’s favorite store.
Christin D'Ovidio
Smallish with a good selection to browse. Friendly staff.
Ty Ganz
Truly an incredible place for Japanese gifts! Owner has beautiful kids and family. Look forward to stopping by soon again! Great place for all your Japanese toy needs :)
M BG
Really terrific service and an awesome selection!
Frances Ann Ehrhardt
Extra helpful and friendly! Tyler was amazing!!!
Kit Johnson
The staff were really nice, and I got some good recommendations from them. Also, I found poppin cooking candy kits for $6 when I have been searching for them, and the other times I have found them (at other stores) were at least double that price.
This shop is great for buying gifts for those anime fans or Japanophiles in your life. There so so many cool and cute things with varying prices and fandoms. I recommend stopping in the next time you're in Harvard Square.
21kkn
Wonderful and vast selection of cute Japanese and anime goods. Gundam kits, figures, plushies, and more! Though some things are pricey it is well worth it when the item is quite hard to come buy. The staff are super sweet, especially the owner!
francisco ocasio
It was great!!! People there are very nice and Everything there is amazing aswell.
Ace
THIS PLACE IS SO CUTE! now this is a little secret but whatever, i was able to get a exclusive sao model sword, and if anyone is looking for certain anime, stuff, they always have stuff in the back
Amy Nault
A nice variety of anime memorabilia! In their new location, Anime Zakka has a lot more space to spread out and show off lots of fun merchandise from popular animes both old and new. (For example, they had a lot of stuff from My Neighbor Totoro, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Demon Slayer.) They had a ton of cute pokémon plushies too. I'm still a bit nostalgic for the previous anime store in this building (Tokyokid) and its delightful selection of more obscure merchandise and media, but I'm really impressed by how much Anime Zakka has grown since it first opened, how much easier it is to find things here, and how nice their variety of merchandise is now.
Ryan Bouley
Staff made me feel welcomed, were very knowledgeable, and passionate about the product. The staff helped make my birthday wonderful.
Gracie B (Leif)
I bought a sticker and a keychain I regret. (Total $13) It was cool and had friendly staff. Prices are lower online than in store, which is frustrating.
Laurel M. Flowers
Cute store, but…I bought a figure and it was missing a piece AND they didn’t give me my change (was to late before I realized). Plus a lot of their figures have VERY inflated prices.
ccmiersdorf7
They moved now to a bigger location what was a very good choice! The prices are still not cheap but they just have the stuff you don't find anywhere else so it's good!
Greenleaf
Great anime store, for collectables, but their focus is definitely on Miyazaki merch and everything else is an afterthought. But everyone should visit these stores at some point because the owners are extremely friendly and there are always people to talk to in the store and it is very fun stop by when you are in town
Zach Foote
Great store that's a longtime Cambridge landmark/destination. Hard to find Japanese products that you're just not going to find anywhere else in New England. Been visiting for many years and the staff is always friendly and engaging. SanRio & Miyazaki fans will always be surprised by the fun things they can find here.
Josh Guilmette
I love stopping in here every time I go to the Greater Boston area. Figures from many popular series & games, posters, keychains, backpacks, and other otaku apparel. Friendly staff! They also have a lot of Gundam stuff, if you're into that. Plus, all the Hi-chew and Pocky you can eat! Great to see a place like this, since the only other way for me to buy this stuff is to buy it online. Their prices aren't marked up too much, I definitely recommend!
Victoria Sidoti
Small store with a cool selection of things. It's really adorable and lower prices than I expected based on past reviews. Very nice staff! I got my gudetama fix.
J Pacheco
Love the service, had a slight personal issues with product from the day before. Came back to make and exchange and was treated amazingly! I even got an additional product! 5/5!!!
Efrain Ferreira
Went to a anime expo in Boston and decided to go look around for more Gundam kits. Found this friendly shop and I have to say I love it. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely pay a visit.
Will LaRose
Really cool anime store
Jon Prusik
Formerly "Kofuku" - this shop is filled with all kinds delightful items that make you say "oh, that is cool!". The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful too. One of my favorite places to pick up gifts for friends and family.
Alex Miller
Nice stuff, but super expensive
Jacob Berezin
Descent little anime shop. They have a okay selection of anime memorabilia. The issue is that many of their items are from cheaply make and come apart easily. They are willing to so refunds and replacements but still would be nice to have it not fall apart at all.
Bryan van Delft
Very helpful and friendly staff, nice collection of anime/manga goods! Would definitely recommend a visit here.
Anthony Kwan (Akigno)
I like to look at all anime figures
Atla Rose
Great place, owner nice. Only downside is that some figures are very, very overprice. Good for buying small thing though.
gr00ve Vu
They have some of the rarest items I've seen in awhile, Check it out if you're in the area!
i. tully
The store is very well kept, organized, and clean. While the selection isn't very large, the staff was really welcoming and helpful with answering my questions.
Robert World II
Nice store but a bit small. I think they'd benefit from not being right on Newbury for a larger place. Anime isn't really a "boutique" type of genre anymore. Great staff and the prices weren't too bad.
tenchi chan
Great looking place, very neat and clean, friendly staff. The go-to for any anime lover in Boston. Worth the trip there!
Denise Allen
This is my anime obsessed daughter's go to. Conveniently located on Newbury St across from Newbury comics. Miss the old Harvard store, but this location still has everything.
Jason Gashi
Really great store. If you love anime, definitely come here!
Ahmed Ziad
Ryan and Omar were great, Alan messed up but it's ok. He did good.
Pack Leader Jeff
This place is awesome, The staff was relaxed and didn't bother me as I was browsing. The prices are fair and the selection is varied. I even scored myself a Roshi Statue.
Bryan Ruiz
Great place for Japanese action figures and posters and dont forget to get some poky
Minty Fresh Kid
Incredibly awesome folks and will always have whatever anime knick knacks you're looking for! 😄 …
Enjeru's Light
Cute, orderly shop. Nice staff. Selection was on the small side.
William Huang
Employees are very nice. Good anime selections inside once I walked in.
Karlie Huynh
It was a nice small shop but it does have a small selection and I got a small poster. It was low resolution poster but it was about $3-4 so I bought it anyways. I would shop there again but once and awhile because of its limited variety.
Zack Newirth
Great little place tucked away on Newbury St! Really neat store and the employees have always been so nice and helpful!
Diego Cota Hernández
being honest it looks authentically like a japanese anime store, the perfect place to buy Gundams!
Vincent Suha
Small-ish, but organized and aesthetically pleasing anime store with a surprisingly solid selection. Very affordable as well! Super friendly staff.
Joe Cannon
Tyler and Chase were well informed, friendly, and fun to talk with
Alex Sonata
Very cool little shop, bought a very cute Haku pin. Staff was friendly and helpful, the space was clean and well lit. Very sad the giant totoro isn't for sale lol
Calvin Do
Small store but has a lot of specialty items (yes they're pricey, but this is to be expected of both Newbury street and of specialty anime collectibles). The collection isn't as expansive as some other stores, but they definitely have some unique pieces, which makes them worth going to!
Kevin Saing
Great Vibes and very friendly and charming owner ! Would recommend
Marvin Dormainville
A great hidden place for us Anime lovers. They have a bunch of hidden anime treasures , like plushes, and little key chains. Even if your not a fan, its still a nice place to stop in and take a look!!
Emily Dirsh
If you're a Studio Ghibli fan like me, you'll love Anime Zakka. They carry all sorts of figurines, stuffed animals, apparel, posters, and more with Studio Ghibli characters and scenes. They may have had other stuff too, but all I could see were the giant stuffed Totoros!!! Totoro tee shirts!!! Stuffed cat bus!!! Sqeee!!!
William Restrepo
Good selection and super friendly staff. A little sparse on the Gunpla merchandise, but still walked out with an MG
Kuresse Bolds
Brian was very helpful. Got me a sick Gojo figurine!
Ava Mooltrey
You'll love this place if you're an anime fan.
Cindy Flanagan
Best selection for good prices!! Fantastic staff! Top Notch!
Gelo Monroig
It's and OK place for your anime needs but it definitely needs a better receptionist and more variety since it seems all they want to sell is demon slayer merch and forgot about the rest. Not the best but not the worst.
Krystal Dong
Really cute anime gifts here! They have posters, bags, figures from popular animes, I do have to say that some of their stuff is a bit overpriced. The people are also really friendly.
Dr. D.
This place is a gem. Lots of cool nerd gear, regardless of your fandom. The staff is an absolute joy to talk to and it's easy to find. If you're in the neighborhood it's definitely worth a visit. (They even stock some relatively hard to find Gundam models)
Dmitriy Ark
Unfortunately closing on July 26th, 2020. Great store. It will be missed.
Eliza Jovel
Had a lot of figurines
Had shirts
I was looking for pens
J Jorgenson
Tyler was really helpful, and we found everything we wanted and more.
Jacqlyn Andolfo
Love this place super awesome selection of products! I bought an SAO keychain and the bag they give you is amazing also!
Humboldt Ave
That's a small store but they have a lot of unique anime pieces that my kids love
Emily Lam
Wonderful selection of merchandise for anime fans. They have funny t-shirts and posters.
striker dxl
This place is sooooo dope I love it like your an anime fan definitely visit
Joseph Chow
Anime stuff, toys, games, snacks, apparel, cosplay, and posters next to Ben & Jerry's. You must wear a mask or face cover to go in.
A.J. Ferolie
Fun good staff, helpful and likeable. Always try to go when i visit boston
Darius Goshay (Trifor)
Small, local, and full of personality I found it to be very fun and was enjoying my time there. If I could bring more things back I would have bought some of the Gundam models.
Harper Cameron
everyone was super helpful and helped me find what i wanted :]
Elizabeth B
Nice Ghibli merch selection, including older features' merchandise. A little contemporary anime-merch selection, but bootleg or unlicensed artwork sold as posters.
Toki Chavez
Such an amazing place very friendly staff
Luis Heredia
It looks nice I just wish I could go inside they are usually closed very cool and odd items for sale definitely worth a look if you can catch them when they are open.
Jaimy Jabon
Very helpful staff,what you see is what you get in this store though
Gabriele Manganaro
Nice place if you are into Manga and Pokemon etc.
Freddy Schär
Always a good place to go for anime fans
나는 신이다Mike
Awesome place with tons of merch and items for a weeb like me, also the staff are friendly and helpful
yogi 88
Fantastic place , beautiful neighborhoods to visit.
seth smith
wonderful store worth the hour train trip
Gabriel Perez
This store was amazing but it says it is temporarily closed. They are re-locating to Newbury St in July according to the sign on the door.
Danielle D
The staff there is so nice! I always feel welcomed when I go there!
TOSV RE
It's very good shop. Easy to find , customer friendly, it looks Japanese Anime shop.
BGM is also Japanese songs. Of course,due to the center of Boston,the space is not large,
however the goods themselves are caught up
Japanese recent trends.(and most popular ones also)
Brahm VanAntwerp
Great little shop! A nice variety of things to browse, polite and helpful staff.
Fthan
So cool
Benz Le
It is the best anime store I've seen and convenient place to buy Anime merchandise and gundam model kits to build! :)
GM Rex
Lots of cool stuff, a little cramped. Not sure about prices may have to plan another trip
Isiah Sweeting
Love shopping at this place and bringing friends to check it out.
Sadistic_Walnut

My teenager was in heaven in this store. And they had some inexpensive posters.

A decent store for people interested in Japanese anime/manga. They have a slim selection but seem to change up the stock occasionally. However, most of the stock they sell are replicas/un-official merchandise. If you want to get something here as a present for someone, make sure that they're okay with that first!
Edited for owner response: Clearly the service here is prompt because the owner replied literally within 2 days of this review. To clarify, the figures seem mostly legit from what I saw, but the keychains, jewelry, bags, and clothing looked all knock-off (missing licensing tags, company engravings, etc). Basically, the apparel was both not legit and could be bought online for cheaper, but the figures (and possible some sanrio goods) seemed authentic.

A bit small and the price is a bit expensive, but it's good for me
Peacock Roy
Pretty small place with a focus mainly on the more mainstream series. Most of what they sell are figures, posters, and accessories like pins and hats. They have some Blu-rays, mostly of Studio Ghibli movies, but nothing else media-wise. If that's what you're looking for, Newbury Comics is down the street and has a good selection. Other than that, staff is friendly and generally knowledgable.
Ray Loco
The ppl are awesome, they know me and they actually have an interest in the items they sell. They are really helpful.
