Editorial Review for Kamikaze Anime – by Nicolas Rabinovitch
In Short
Located just outside the Little Tokyo Mall, this small white-walled store is a burst of color with rows upon rows of artfully arranged anime (translated into English) and bookcases stacked with piles used Manga in all its original cartoon glory. The store also boasts a small traditional Japanese uniform section perfect for those wanting to dress up for the next anime convention. Hidden in the back behind an old tie-dyed T-shirt is the adult section, which includes more anime videos and Manga magazines for the 18-and-older set.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoSome of the imported video games and DVDs are country coded for Japan, meaning you need the Japanese system to play the game or watch the film. Luckily, the store also sells imported systems including PS2 and PSP.
The ExtrasThe store also carries out-of-print Manga for collectors. Many are hidden and require asking the staff for assistance.
