Our Journey

AnimeNU Shop was founded by Shiella on 08.08.2024 —a date chosen for its significance, as the number 8 is considered lucky in many cultures. This founding date represents prosperity and success, values that we aim to bring to our store and our customers. What began as Shiella’s personal collection of cherished anime items has grown into a vibrant online shop that connects fans with the treasures they’ve been searching for.

Shiella’s vision was to create a space where otakus could discover high-quality, preloved anime figures and merchandise at an affordable price, and AnimeNU Shop was born from that dream.
