New & Improved Anime & Manga Stores in Ireland List

Konata

So! Here's an updated list of all the stores in Ireland that stock either manga or anime. Of course, buying online is probably your best bet but it's always nice to know what's available in Irish shops. I've linked to the sites of as many stores as I could - for the nationwide ones you can use their site to find a store nearest to you.

I'm always looking for new suggestions so if you can add something to this list, please comment

I love buying in shops, especially since i get some great randoms like generator gawl, red hawk and ray earth... ones i would never have picked online since all the big ones are there that i have already seen and liked but the sad fact is Ireland has no where good. Directors cut in cork is ok but most of the stuff is vol 5 of get backers or vol 3 of full metal panic. I would love a proper anime and manga store but online is the only real option now (Amazon has more but sendit is good too)

Also other relms has a very tiny collection of anime, only whats left of the older store that wasn't sold... its almost all region 1. You get the odd random in HMV but its rediculesly overpriced usually.

Pretty sure the Laser DVD store in Dublin (both the retail and rental ones) stock a decent bit of anime.

Where's the Laser DVD store?

CEX on Upper Liffey St. has some random anime DVDs which are nice and cheap since they're all 2nd hand. Nothing really complete though which sucks ass but it's worth looking as a gem could appear some day!

The Laser rental store I knew of that stocked a lot of anime was around 5 South Great Georges Street. The retail store was around 15 St. Andrew Street.

Hey, today in Waterford I noticed that The Book Centre stocked a nice selection of Manga on the bottom circle near the audio books/sci fi section. Its sort of hard to notice as its just a little rotating stand but still very nice.

Some of the stuff there: Naruto & DBZ :mad::rolleyes:. Full metal Alchemist, Death Note, Detroit metal city and about 10 other ones with about 3 copies of each.

So can you add that to the list please.

Hi,

I am new here, so please be understanding

How about shops with some gadgets? The stall in Georges St. Arcade is cool, but I'm searching for something more.

Anyone could help?

I was poking around HMV on Grafton St. today, there's a bunch of anime DVD's they're selling off hella cheap. Heat Guy J season 1 boxset is a tenner, Hellsing Ultimate are 3.99 each, same goes for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Origins. I think volumes of Noein (around 5 eps. per volume) were like 7 euro. I picked up Ghost in the Shell 2.0 on Blu-Ray for 10 euro. Like I said, A bunch more stuff is priced similarly, it's worth the browse.

Konata

Oh, I must add CEX on Liffey St to this list. They sell second hand DVDs/games etc. and they've quite a few anime titles. Could be a gem or two, depends on what's there! I recently left in a pile of anime DVDs (I needed money >_<) and someone bought them on the spot!

twinex

tall tales bookshop on the main street in clonmel is pretty good choice for manga and graphic novels in general, strangely its opened one day then closed the next....recommended though
p.s. people might remember it being in waterford a few years ago

sharon89

The only place I know of in Letterkenny is the comic book store in the courtyard shopping centre on the very bottom floor. They're really pricey though. I have to get all my manga and anime online.

Lawliet

Oxfam on Georges street has a collection of manga, but it's not selling so they're talking of getting rid of it

Actually I don't :P I seriously could do with a job though I'm still in secondary school so I doubt I'll get anything :P I just thought I'd add it on because no ones updated about it :P And considering that Forbidden Planet charge 8.50 minimum for their manga and Tall Tales charge 7 I thought they were great prices :P

There's a shop in Clonmel, Co Tipperary that sells a lot of good manga.
It's just before the GameStop, after the church.
All the manga is at the back of the shop.

Should add Dublin City Comics and Collectables on Bolton St.

While they don't stock anime or manga they do have a good range of Figma, S.H Figurarts/ MonsterArts, Gundam and Zoids model kits and Play Arts Kai figures in stock.

Anyone know where I can buy Anime shoes in Ireland? Found some on Amazon US but they don't send to Ireland :-(

Waterstones in Cork have a Manga section now as well.

Yoshitsune

For Cork City, Vibes and Scribes have a manga selection in the second hand store. The shop sells first hand manga, some in plastic wrapping, and second hand on a large table look through. Vibes and Scribes is worth visiting as the store has a loyalty card system for every €5 that is purchased.
