Peter's Japan blog

I was in Orlando on my last trip to America and was looking to buy some anime-related things. I did a google search to find some shops and found a forum where they talked about a shop near Florida Mall called Bad Apple Comics. It's actually an American comics shop but also carried some manga. So I went to check it out and actually found out they had practically nothing: no manga, just a few figures in a corner. Bad luck... but we were going to Florida Mall on the other side of the road anyway and there I found much more. There is a music/dvd shop there called F.Y.E., it's a big chain. It's a big store and at the back of the store there is quite a large section of anime dvd, even manga, some t-shirts and even some Japanese candy ;p. Bought my last 2 dvd boxes I needed to complete my Haruhi dvds. (will make post later of the contents of the limited editions)

There was also another interesting shop in Florida Mall called Japan HQ. It's full of Japanese stuff like Hello Kitty, other cute stuff, figures and even gunpla kits. Not really anime dvds, but it's a nice shop. They also have a website which tells that they are a Florida based company with one other shop in the Orlando area.

So if you have some anime or japan needs in Orlando, these shops are what you need.
