Kobe Anime

Just noticed this small but awesome shop while grocery shopping. I saw Kobe in the name so I thought Korean BBQ? Then I saw anime written in Naruto font which caught my interest because I love anime! They open at 1 pm and close at 7 pm. I think it said they're closed on certain days too.

They sell a variety of different items here from t-shirts of Anya from Spy X Family to school supplies to show off your anime swag to your friends. When you walk in you'll notice a wall scroll poster of Ms.Kobayashi's Dragonmaid. They have a lot of cute plushies around the store for sale. I was eyeing the turtle plushie because turtles are one of my favorite animals. They had a decent amount of anime collectibles. They had some mats with designs on them. I don't know if their inventory will change in the future but it'd be cool to see some anime Funko here. Or maybe some anime OSTs?

The people here are super nice. If you're a fan of anime, check them out! Also let's welcome them to the Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood!

Ok since I last visited they have updated their inventory nicely.

I'm still really disappointed by the bootleg keychains, washi tape, acrylic stands and stickers! They are very obviously using stolen art, unofficial fanart on products by individual artists is great but not this drop-shipping crap :(! please do better this has the potential to be the best anime store in Sacramento.

That being said, from what I can tell all of the figures and most of the merch is legit. Most of the inventory they have added is real products that are pretty reasonably priced. I cannot vouch for the plush sections legitimacy since I'm not an expert in that market. Just be cautious with what you're purchasing since there are bootlegs mixed in with their inventory. The wallscroll they have hanging is obviously fake but they only sell real licensed funimation ones so that's funny.

Stationary is really great quality (aside the stolen art washi tape) with some hard to find brands! Reasonable prices as well! If you're looking for calligraphy materials or specialty illustration stuff this is a great stop. Some great stickers as well ^^

They also carry a large selection of japanese snacks and candy. Manga section is mostly shounen. There's a small selection of tcg imports so if you're looking for Japanese Pokémon packs you can find those here as well. All the figures are prize figures aside from the few gunplas above the counter, the prize figures are pretty reasonably priced from what I've seen.

I've bought from them before and the staff was pretty helpful, however a lot of keychains and fanart are stolen :/

Also, I went all the way over recently because the store hours said they were open for another hour but when I arrived it was closed. disappointed.

I have never felt so offended like the worker that said to me go home brown skin. He was so rude to me never ever going back!!!!

I mainly come here for snacks. My kids both like Japanese candy and there is an ample variety available. The prices are very fair. They also sell toys and t shirts. Great little store with very friendly staff. Parking is ample.

Super cute store! Lots of variety in items, and customer service is stellar (very friendly) what a fun addition to the Pocket!
