Otaku Nation - Tucson, Arizona

Thought long and hard on how to write this review. Owner is late to games and opening the store, had a huge controversial blow up happen that lost dozens of customers and employees, has a free roaming dog that will threaten customers and staff alike, the carpet up front looks like it's been peed on, and owner doesn't want to hire people properly. Stuff there is cool, but I can get it all online and honestly, much better experience to just get it online. This is one of the stores that made me never want to go to male run game stores ever again. It is an ongoing trend especially in Tucson. I don't know if I believe all the controversial stuff that happened, but the way the owner handled it which was by getting super aggressive and not stop messaging the Discord server made me think where there's smoke there's fire.

Wife and I have been here a few times during our escapades up to Tucson. The staff (at least the few people we've encountered) are friendly and very helpful. One of the best things about this store is that it's one of the few (if not the only place) that sells and has a wide selection of weiß schwarz cards. I've bought a few 7DS booster boxes here. They also have a nice selection of candles 🕯

Was excited to check them out, but the dog you see in there pictures is free roaming the store, and I'm allergic so I couldn't really pass the entrance. The dog isn't attacking you or anything, I'm just allergic and it seems like no one heard when I said "excuse me" 3 times to get someone maybe hold the dog.

Although most people would probably find it cute, I think having a dog roaming around and going to customers in a small store is quite unprofessional.

Best place in town for Final Fantasy and One Piece cards. Jeremy was great at helping decide on what to get and very patient while I made up my mind.

The shop owner is super nice! They sell a lot of neat otaku/anime related merchandise, its clean and an organized space, great quality products, monthly events too! The shop has a lot of neat items from local artist, like artwork and handmade jewelry and accessories.
They also have an awesome selection of collector items and plushies😍

Locally owned shop that sells a wide variety of product at great value prices. Products include trading cards, local art, action figures, model kits, and supplies for said hobbies. Local trading card game tournaments for Dragon Ball Super, Vanguard, Final Fantasy, and many other Japanese TCGs are played. This is a great place to meet up with friends and try out new card games that most stores don’t sell product for.

Theirs a reason theirs so many 1 stars here... It's clear this store is being held back by the owner and no one else. Avoid for tcg stuff, DONT do any commissions, had a lot of ppl take poorly about this place due to it. Also DONT go if your female, not safe. Crazy how far back this issue goes back.. over 6 years...bro if you read this. Take this time and read all the issues people have here and man up, your lucky you get any stars over 1 or hasn't been cancelled yet. Any moment it's going all fall apart. Your the issue, everyone knows it...been here a few times, pretty lackluster n not great. Just watched owner try to flirt with a random chick

I’m ashamed to see any positive reviews on here. It seems the owner doesn’t want to respond to any negative reviews regarding his work place habits (unless it’s to argue with someone about pet stains).

Unfortunately this shop has an owner who is totally unprofessional and inappropriate to females. The experience I had going was also an indication of how he views women. I went once and he would only shake my husbands hand, only speak directly to him, and acknowledge his existence, didn’t look at me or anything (which is fine now that I see what he’s done). Apart from that, his stores prices were too high and his selection lackluster.
