#MayTravelSupport Ikebukuro Animate Main Store Naruto nerds, don't go there, it's really not recommended. I expected there to be a lot of variety in Animate goods, but there really isn't much variety. There is some goods, but it's all ugly, so I was really disappointed! There was a lot of Jujutsu Kaisen and Haikyuu goods.

It's a 7-story Animate, and I was able to meet nerds from all over the world. It's huge, and each floor deals with different areas, so it was fun to look around.
