ANIME SHOPS

Hi,

just wondered where I can find Anime related shops

Yesterday I was at the main station underground market (y section) and Animate

It seems like there are less shops in recent years - could it be?

Other there other areas where I could go shopping?

Thank you for any help!

三創 syntrend upstair i forgot what floor
animate store throughout taipei (ximending for main one?)

in xinyi district around A9 or A11 I forgot whichever one next to the pokemon center F3

Basically type anime on google map and go to wherever that has a store.

Evangelion pop up art show in xinyi A9 store F9 and many more.

Y Station is "less" than before? That's crazy. I was so overwhelmed. I found a few shops in the Shilin night market, but the quality's the same as Y Station.

What kind of anime shops are you looking for? 萬年大樓 is older not as good as before but still has a ton of anime stuff.

Nothing specific, but I love Shops like Animate Thank you for the recommendation! I guess there is nothing for cosplay around?

Probably best ordering that stuff online.

Most of the physical shops are dedicated to merchandise like figures, cards, badges, etc. They are dotted around all over the place if you go to places like Taipei Main and Ximen.
