Anime/manga shop in NYC?

Question

NOT barnes and noble, i mean a shop with manga only or specailizes in anime merchandise or stuff like that. and no DVD renting stores. address or name please.

Answer 1

When I attended high school in Manhattan back in the 1980s, I used to head to Forbidden Planet after class.  They got comics, manga, Japanime stuff, etc.  I loaded up on a lot of hard-to-find Macross, Mospeada, Gundam and Captain Harlock items from there (you can tell I liked the "mecha" stuff in Japanime).  I don't know if they still have as much Japanime stuff as they did back then, but I think it's worth a look:  http://www.fpnyc.com/

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

My friend, the only place that comes to mind when it comes to anime/manga merchandise is Jim Hanley's Universe Limited, located on 33rd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. The exact address is:

4 W 33rd St

New York, NY 10001

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

Rockafeller center has an asian library and they have all anime and magazines of all that stuff, no toys though

Answer 5

You would love Kinokuniya on 6th and 42nd, across from Bryant park.  It's a real chain of Japanese bookstores with a NY location.  All sorts of neat stuff that you can only find there.  Check it out!  Also, Midtown Comics on Lex and 46th has a pretty good selection.
