SCI-FI Anime – Located near Atwater Metro, Sci-Fi has a good selection of anime/manga and is run by a really cool dude (Luen). They have moved from Villa Maria/Queen Mary to this downtown location a few years back. Walking distance from Concordia University…you should definitely drop in. Love their enormous selection of Gundam model kits!
Marche Clandestin Mangaya- Since 1995, Marché Clandestin counts over 7000 members and a library of over 5000 DVD and Bluray titles. It is the largest selection of anime in Quebec, which makes it ‘THE’ place to go to if you want to experience a bit of Asian Pop Culture. They also offer a wide variety of wallscrolls, posters, CD soundtracks, figurines and other assorted Asian goodies. Located near Berri-UQAM Metro station, you will need to check their hours of operation as they are closed from Mondays to Wednesdays.
