If you are in need of anime, manga, and game soundtracks look no further than Anime Pop.  The store is the best example of dedication to all things Japan in North Texas.  10 years ago the store opened as Pop Kulture and was originally located near Valley View Mall.  Now off Beltline in Addison, the store has carved a niche for itself amongst the members of the anime community.

When you walk in you immediately realize you have come to a special place.  Anime DVD’s, including imported subs, line the walls and manga is aligned neatly on the shelves.  Some stores in the metroplex carry anime and manga but none have the sheer size and selection of Anime Pop.  You can also find live action films and soundtracks for your favorite Japanese videogames.

Anime Pop sets itself apart from other stores with the amount of j-pop, think Japanese pop culture, trinkets around the store.  Find plenty of Crunky, Pocky, Ramune, and other Japanese treats at the counter for Americans to buy and experience.  You can also find Gundam model kits, posable figures, and gear from your favorite anime to purchase.  You will feell like you have stepped into another world.  Anime Pop is like an anime in that way, a dimensional gateway to all things Japan here in Texas.

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.  They take great care of the store and the customers that come in and answer any questions that a customer may have.  They are so well versed in the subject of anime and manga you would think they knew the language fluently and could read Kanji, Japanese writing.  Any questions you have about upcoming anime events they are happy to answer and share their past experiences with you about events across the state.

Swing by the store, located at 4151 Belt Line Road #106, and enjoy the experience for yourself.  You will have a great time looking at the anime to rent or by picking up a new manga to look at when you get home.  This is the best little piece of Japan you will find in the south.
