Animate Ikebukuro Flagship

The largest anime goods store in the world, rebuilt in 2023 across ten floors.

The Animate flagship reopened in 2023 as a ten-floor building with a theatre, a café and an event hall on top of the retail floors. Each floor is organised by product type — manga, character goods, doujinshi, music, stationery — and current-season anime dominate the ground floors.

Pourquoi ça vaut le détour

If you want one store that covers every current anime rather than a single IP, this is it.

Seulement ici

Store-limited bonus items with purchases, and doujinshi floors that have no overseas equivalent.

Quand y aller

Weekends are heavy, especially the ground floor. Weekday mornings are calm.

Bon à savoir

Tax-free counter is on an upper floor. Keep receipts together and process everything at once.
