Zombster

Great store, odd location. I spent 20 minutes walking around Toowong shopping centre the first time I went here until I realised you actually have to leave the centre itself to get to it.
They have one of the largest selections of Manga in Brisbane and also sell a range of Animé dvds and merchandise. The guy who owns it is really nice and you can feel his passion for what he sells.
Their prices are admittedly steep, but I’m happy to pay higher prices for the product + quality customer service and care, and that’s what they offer.
If you’re thinking about going for a look, why not take a walk along the bicentennial bike-​way from the city?

I first found out about Zombster by visiting their stall at Brisbane Supanova Expo. The very awesome, knowlegable and friendly staff gave me expert advice on what T-​shirt I should get (both advice on design and sizing) and then we just entered into a long and nerdy conversation about science fiction television and animé.
I have since been to visit their Toowong residence a few times. They are right next to the train station so if you have a few minutes to kill before your next train definitely check them out. Their store has manga and animé lining the walls and a huge range of T-​shirts (everything from Deathnote to Buffy) and all that you could want from a pop culture store. While they do specialise in manga and animé, they are just general geeks and stock a whole range of products that make my inner geek a very happy chappy. I have started quite a collection of Firefly T-​shirts from zombster and they are continuallly getting in new designs for me to look forward to. If you are at all nerdy, geeky, or just generally awesome then you must go to Zombster!

This is my happy place. I am in love with Zombster.
However if you have no idea what animé or manga is let me quickly explain: animé is the general term for Japanese animation (sometimes dubbed) and manga are the comics/​novellas that originated from Japan but have been translated into English but are still read back to front, right to left.
If you’re looking for an animé/​manga/​cute things fix, Zombster is the place to go. Previously situated at Indooroopilly, Zombster has made the awesome move to Toowong literally on my doorstep. It’s fate I tell you.
I used to have to look on line for my manga and animé purchases but NO LONGER! a one stop shop with literally everything in it, Zombster is worth a look.
Apart from the awesome array of manga on the shelves, you can also browse the pop-​culture apparel (Big Bang Theory Shirts alongside Assassin’s Creed Shirts), soft toys from animé series, and figurines and modelling kits. I bought the entire collection of Fruit’s Basket (manga) in a box with character profiles for around $ 110, which is reasonable if you have a look on line and play the comparison game.
The staff are awesome and can talk your ear off about most animes or mangas, or just let you browse. But expect a joke thrown in here or there to break up the silence. If you’re not sure what to get ask them for advice because they are more than happy to oblige.
But best of all they have radtastic $ 2 ball machines out the front where you can get your Pokemon fix. Because everyone needs more Pikachu in their lives.
