Went to this store and found a DVD from Japan that I was waiting to see. I then asked about the authenticity about a DVD before I bought it and was assured that it was the real thing so I bought it. Opened it and found out it was a bootleg like I suspected. Very disappointed as the quality was dramatically worse than the actual DVD with subs that weren’t even localized properly since an American company didn’t bring it over like the actual release here.

This is any otaku’s paradise! Right before the entrance to the left is a poster of cosplayers from the last Cherry Blossom Festival. You are greeted by a giant stuffed animal Totoro and an automated greeting at the door with, «ohayō gozaimasu (I think?).» The selection of animé and movies is wide. The store also carries movies from Japan, posters, stuffed animals, character backpacks, giant pillows with various sailor moon characters, and also an «adult section,» that you must be 18 or over to view. The store always has a movie playing on the screen that they have in stock. The prices are really high. This is why I am not giving it five stars. Plus, the place needs a bit of a face lift, as it looks a little run down. Besides that, the store is pretty awesome, and definitely a stop I make every time I am in Japantown.

This is an old school store with lots of various forms of entertainment in physical form! I find these stores exceedingly rare nowadays. It’s always nice to wander in and take a look at what they offered. The store itself is small, and I’m not a big gamer, so I wasn’t sure what to look for. Still a cool experience though!

This is a pretty good store for animé fans. They have some plush items here and of course a lot of videos here as well. They have other knickknacks like key chains as well. I didn’t see any Fate Stay Night items though which is what I wanted.

If you are an animé fan, watch out cuz their will be several items that will be «instant impulse buys». I seen a screen printed poster of Akatsuki fr Naruto and just had to have it. Prices a bit high but normal for SF, but mayb not normal for your hometown. Worth checking out if you come thru SF’s Jtown.

Back in the day, before the internet became my best friend, I used to come here to get my Japanese films. Sometimes they would be the only spot to find anything you needed, and sometimes they would get their releases early. With the day of the internet upon us and most shops doing price matches, I’m not sure how this location has survived.
Yes, they are REALLY over priced. Sometimes even as much as 100%. You can find many of their releases online for half the price brand new. Still if you’re in the area and want your Japanese film, then come here. They also sell bootlegs of films that don’t have distribution rights in the United States, and sometimes bootlegs of films that do. I“m not sure how that works, but that’s the way of the beast. So be careful, you might go home with an all region bootleg baby!
Still, they have a giant Totoro at the front entrance. Can’t go wrong with that!

Japan Video has the same animé/​video collectibles that many other Japantown Mall shops sell, but they do have the best selection of plushes, posters, wall scrolls and (duh) videos. Plus you can’t beat that huge Totoro plush beckoning you to come in and shop!
Their shop seems kind of dingy-​dirty and some of their prices are high, but otherwise Japan Video has some really cool stuff to look at. There’s always some cool animé or movie playing on the overhead TV. Plus they have a back corner for the 21+ crowd– *bow chicka wow wow*.

«No videos or pictures beyond this point»?
They do realize they are in prime location for tourists and people ARE going to take pictures regardless of the sign, right? I wasn’t particularly impressed with Japan Video; the thing that caught my eye and made me want to check it out was the big Totoro in the doorway. So cute.
All the Totoro plushies they did have were crazy expensive; as were the animé back packs, wall posters, and other stuffed animal merchandise. They had a Kiki’s Delivery Service mug for $ 25??? Come on, now. I would understand if all this stuff was imported, but it can’t be THAT hard to knock a few bucks off the price. Especially considering there are cheaper stores to check out here.
They have a massive selection of videos. Including an «Adult» section lol. My friend and I had a good laugh over there. I suppose it’s worth it to browse this store because they have so much stuff, but we didn’t find anything we liked.

Great little place, my daughter loved the prices on the posters so she bought several. The man at the counter was very polite and was happy to serve us. Thank you.

This place has a large selection of animé and other Japanese DVDs. They even have an adult section! In addition to the DVDs, they have all sorts of animé items — clothing, stuffed toys, action figures, key chains, posters, wallets, totes, etc. If you are an animé lover, you’ve definitely hit the jackpot here. There was so much to look at but the place was a little cramped. My husband wound up purchasing two gifts for his sister and I bought a Totoro tote bag. The employee behind the counter was polite and quick to ring us up. Overall, it was a good experience.

This is the place for your animé needs from Posters, Plushies, Keychains, DVDs, Etc.
They have a bit more variety compared to the other animé focused stores in Japan Center but it’s probably worth checking out other places as well. From what I’ve seen they have more animé doll plushies and wall scrolls than others but other stores have keychains covered. It’s all a matter of looking around.

This place has a huge selection of animé DVDs and live action movies, along with other animé items such as posters, plushies and keychains. Two keychains I wanted (Madoka and Mami from PMM) were sold out, but I was still able to get one (Homura), along with a wall scroll. The cashier was really polite.

Although this place looks very cool and indeed a lot of their items are! There is one thing that bothered me and made me not want to ever come to this place again.
It’s one of their employees, he gave me the worst customer service I have ever experienced. If you’ve gone to this place before, you’d know that they sell charms on the counter, I would ask him if he had them and he would give me a face like I bothered him, WELL I AM SO SORRY TO BOTHER BECAUSE WHAT EVER YOU WERE DOING MUST HAVE BEEN SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU COULDN’T HELP A CUSTOMER.
They were sold out of most of the stuff I wanted (which I understood) so I canceled everything I would get and when I told him, the employee rolled his eyes straight in my face and was practically throwing a fit like a toddler as he put the items away…
This is a great store of animé dvds, posters and keychains. But please beware of who you get help from…

Limited animé selection due to store size, I’m sure. However, what they have is usually good or seems interesting. Also have a good selection of swag and a similarly sized live action section. (Japanese of course.) Can’t forget their manga and soundtrack selection! Not very large, but better than I’ve seen in many stores. Customer service is always excellent.

Your stop for animé needs. Being a huge fan of animé, i’ve probably seen anywhere around 80 or more shows in my lifetime, this place is amazing to me. Now the selection is the greatest but some of the people here are definitely really friendly. They also re-​stock their posters with new ones every now and then as well.
I’ve bought plenty of animé and video game related posters here and the prices are great as well. 5 stars, and they get the Royal stamp of approval from me.

CHEAP ANIME POSTERS!!!
Along with other collectables likes bags, DVDs, plushies, etc. But seriously, their animé posters are cheap, and they have a decent collection. Each poster is $ 2.99, or $ 2.76 with tax. They also have various keychains priced around $ 4.50, along with other cute Japanese things that have no purpose but to decorate bookshelves and walls.
Oh. And don’t forget the hentai in the back of the store. Just in case you were curious.
Credit cards accepted, but be wary of the huge receipt you get hahaha.

I enjoy going in here just to browse at their extensive collection of Japanese movies from Samurais, Ninjas, Animé, Japanese TV Dramas, Korean TV Dramas and even Porn.
And on the latter, I haven’t stepped in that section on the corner of this store. Oh, for heavens sake no… that is simply not appropriate. *Ehem*
I enjoy watching foreign films and I usually check to see the new releases. But, I’m not gonna pay $ 30.00 for a DVD so I simply write down the title and rent it on Netflix. Call me cheap but I do buy their sale items.
No, not in the porn section.
Really…Hontoni!
