Kaidashi

animate shops in Japan

アニメイト

animate is the anime goods chain: new manga volumes, magazines, character goods, CDs, doujinshi in the larger shops, and the first-print bonuses that come with buying on release day. Over a hundred and fifty branches, from the Ikebukuro flagship — a building of its own — to a floor in a shopping mall. The stock follows what is airing, so it changes every season, and collaboration items are on sale for a few weeks only. Larger shops have an event space where signings and pop-ups happen.

142 shops in 43 prefectures, with facts read on their official page.
