Where Can I Buy Anime Merch?
Where Can I buy Anime Merch?
The popularity of anime has been rising substantially in the past few years.
And if you’re like me you are PUMPED.
What’s even weirder? ITS COOL TO LIKE ANIME NOW.
I never thought this day would come back when I was in high school. Heck I remember you couldn’t even wear a shirt with Goku on it without being labeled as the “weird” kid.
I never really gave a sh*t though. I sported my Vegeta shirt to every school football game anyway.
But now there is so much more than just DBZ & Pokemon on the screen. In the past few years alone nearly 70% of all anime came out that has EVER appeared on T.V.
With so many options to choose from it is so hard to find the exact Anime merch we are looking for. One problem is that there is literally TOO MANY stores now selling similar items. So how do you know which is the shop for you?
Well I’m here to tell you. So lets answer the question : “Where can I buy Anime Merch?”
Anime T-Shirts – Atsuko.com
T-shirts are among the most popular anime merch you can get online. Which makes sense because we all tend to go through clothing like a growing baby.
Here are some reasons why Atsuko.com is one of my favorite places for T-shirts
- Soft material to the touch (this is huge for me)
- Officially licensed characters
- GIANT selection of T-shirts
- Good Customer Service
- Decent shipping times
All in all Atsuko is a great brand in the Anime apparel world. If you like anything from Inuyasha to Naruto, this place is definitely worth checking out for your T-shirt needs.
Anime Candles - Otakuscents.com
You heard me right…
Anime CANDLES! I mean who doesn’t want their room to smell like Asuna right?
I’m only half kidding here. They actually name their scents after characters which is awesome. And let me tell you, the smell is FIRE.
And they don’t only sell candles. They also have air fresheners and wax melts too.
The best part? The packaging is really nice and features exclusive art of all your favorite characters.

Laser Engraved Anime Products - Nerd-loot.com
I know, this one sounds a little weird right? WTF is laser engraved anime merch?
You know how sometimes you buy a water bottle with that sticky tape-like sticker on it? You throw it in the wash a couple times and it all falls off and you ruin your favorite items.
Laser engraving gets rid of that issue all together! Using a laser to put an image onto material like metal or wood, PERMANANTLY marks it for life.
Not only this, but it gives it a shiny, clean, minimalistic look. Just enough for you to sport your favorite character, but without the crazy color that can get you some weird looks.
And the best part? Every product in the store has a custom option. So you can choose both the image AND whatever words you want.
Nerd-loot.com features:
- High quality, laser engraved Anime products
- Custom options for all items
- Free domestic U.S. shipping
- Minimalist/sleek anime items
- Quick customer service
Anime Itasha & Car Accessories- Xpressskins.com
Alright are you really ready to be blown away? If you’re looking for some SERIOUS anime merch for your car this is the place to be.
The guys at express skins have everything you could possibly imagine in the anime automobile sector.
From COMPLETE car wraps ( yes, complete) to even decals and air fresheners.
Whats even cooler is that they have a total mix of fully licensed merch, as well as their own exclusive designs.
Above I included a picture of one of their car wraps here so you can see just how dang beautiful this thing is.

- All anime car products imaginable
- Full and custom car wraps – Itasha
- Perfect customer service
- Licensed & Exclusive art
Anime Figures - Crunchyroll.com
I’m sure you’ve heard of crunchy roll by now, seeing as its pretty much the best place to stream anime. There’s also Funimation (which just bought Crunchyroll btw), but their app really sucks. Hopefully this new buyout will use Crunchyroll’s interface instead ** WINK WINK**.
But aside from their streaming service they actually have a pretty great store for your other anime needs, particularly figurines.
Now you can also choose to buy a lot of these overseas, but you’re taking a huge gamble on the quality as well as looking at 30-90 day shipping time… which is disgusting.
You get what you pay for with figurines, so I think it’s always best to buy from a reliable source. You really can’t beat Crunchyroll in that area. They’re as reliable as it gets.
Plus they have a ton of price points too. They have “cheaper” figurines if you just want something casual for your desk, but also the more expensive and elaborate figures for your display case. They’re definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.
Well that pretty much concludes for today. There are WAY more anime themed shops out there, but these pretty much cover the majority of “types” of products. If you know of any stores you’d really like featured then always feel free to reach out to me on Instagram! My handle is @nerd_loot.
