Manager is super nice! I took a bunch of time picking out a gift but they never pressured me on time which I really appreciated. Everything is fairly priced and have similar prices to items you would find on the internet. I bought a Sailor Moon gacha figure (where you get a random figure when you open the box) and they offered me to open it when I was there and replace one of the figures they had in their glass displays if I didnt like the one I got which was super nice of them (I did not take the offer because I was happy with Sailor Venus!). But super nice people and would highly recommend!

Fun place to shop for anime, gunpla, and card games.

Model kit building get togethers on Sundays is fun. Gundam kits isn't the only model kits they sell.

The store owner is very knowledgeable in manny fields, friendly, and interesting to talk to. Stop by often to check out their new stock and support this local business.

Loved it. I didnt know tuscon had a place like this. And no stolen art! The artist for the prints were listed right next to the prints with their social and everything. I got a candle for my sister and she loved it! The employee working when i was there was nice too. He was helpful and professional. 11/10 will go again

While prices may seem a bit higher then what you get online, I honestly don't mind as it supports a local business. Staff are so friendly and I love the energy they give off. (super fun to talk to them about similar anime/game interests) Been here a few times and I have yet to be disappointed!

Large selection of gunpla and helpful staff, I also appreciate the trans flag by the register trans rights:)

It's an alright place, they stock some cool random stuff. I gave it a 3 because the prices are kinda steep vs what I can just order on the internet and though I like the dog it's kinda odd having it wandering around a public business.

May return occasionally just to see the neat random little things they get in, first time I've seen a nesoberi in stock in Tucson though, so that was cool! I picked one up.

First time over Easter weekend and it met my Daughter's expectations. Good place for your Anime needs. Will return in future.

Cool stuff I've never seen before, atmosphere was weird though and smelled funny, not bad just funny, staff aren't friendly.

This is one of the best local shops ever. Everyone inside is extremely nice, and always willing to talk or answer questions. The selection of items blows me away. They have a large shelf kf model kits, made mostly if gunpla, however there was Evangelion kits from kotobykiya, and some Pokepla. The selection of other items is also with a look, having a really nice selection of figures, statues, manga, and as many TCG accessories you could think of. Prices are extremely good, especially for a local shop. Tax is included on the price tag, so what you see is the exact amount you would have to pay up front, making payments with cash very simple. I love this place, and it's always a highlight of my time in town.

Solid experience, quite cozy and has a lot to offer when it comes to anime merch, though wish there was a larger selection of manga.

Place is ran by college liberal hippies that are trying to be the last Bastien of hope for mandatory masks

Upon walking in staff didn’t greet us and only said if we didn’t have masks they had some available for us to use, which we immediately picked up a mask and put them on. After that the male staff member retreated towards the back and didn’t acknowledge us one time. We were looking at items that didn’t have prices marked and was interested in purchasing a candle. We walked up toward the register and towards the tables and no one acknowledged us, so we set the candle back down and left the store. What’s the point of having a store open if you aren’t going to demonstrate customer service and sit in the corner playing games?

I was just complaining to my SO that I wished somewhere in town stocked manga other than Barnes and Noble. I stopped in here on a whim as I was picking something up next door and was surprised to find pretty well stocked shelves! They didn't have any volumes I'm currently looking for, but I wanted to support them stocking stuff so I picked up One Punch Man 1&2. Staff was very nice. Stock of stuff other than manga is also pretty dense! This'll go on as the first stop for my monthly manga haul for sure!

Nice place. I'm not from Tucson but it was nice there. I'll be going on my birthday in about two months. I liked the dog to.

Initially walking in I was surprised to see so many people in the shop. It's rather small and people play cards in the back. The first thing I noticed upon walking in was the loose dog and stains on the floor. The dog was nice and let my very eccentric younger sister pet it. The urine spots are a sanitation and health issue. After being in this store for a few minutes my shoes were sticky for the rest of the day. A man gave me his card and gave me the run down. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the selection. There didn't actually seem to be much in the store. There was a small manga shelf but it seemed to be only later issues of mostly mainstream manga. There were a few little anime themed items and such like chopsticks, stickers, keychains, candles. There was also a small shelf of figures as well as plushies. I think the shops deals mostly in cards and card related games. Their prices were also seemingly a bit high. This seems more like a club type place rather than a public business. The staff seemed very kind. Overall I don't think I'll be going back.

I went to this store and it was the best! I did feel about awkward there because it was my first time ever entering the place. My sister began crying a bit because of some personal reasons being there but She did like it there. I got two Hatsune Miku plushies and two keychains. My sister loved the plushies and the keychain. The employees were helpful. I really liked their dog to Also I heard one of the people I know there go in to the place with his kids and said, "Only weirdos come here"
If you ever hear anything like that, don't let it affect you. Best place
