| Anime Gift for a 15yr old girl?
So the girlfriend has a 15 yr old daughter who loves Anime. Since Christmas is around the corner I want to get her something Anime but have zero clue about it so need your advice... All I know is she watches the shows on YouTube, I don't have any clue of the shows she watches just that some of them are vampires that live forever?
What kind of Anime gift would knock is out of the park and blow her fricken mind? This is all new to me and like I said I have zero clue what to actually get her.  |

Wow, saw the title then went............ anyway.
Vampire anime?
I am more outdated than you, so not much help here. My daughter used to watch Sailor Moon, lol and my sons were into Naruto, Inu Yasha and shit like that. We were all into Dragon Ball - Master Roshi, what can I say?
Interested to see what kind of replies you get here.
BTW, your avatar still scares the shit out of me............... maybe because you don't post that often anymore.

Actually, murd0c, go to some anime shops and ask them for advice. Also, browse the shelves to see if you recognize any of the stuff she watches. Did she dress up during Halloween? That's a pretty good indicator of what she likes.
And, no, dukes, hentai is not appropriate. Not in this thread, anyway.

Go with the safe bets, like a statue of Deku from hero academia (popular anime like today's Dragonball) or something from the newest rage anime 'Demon Slayer' the movie is breaking box office records in Asia, and the series is popular af too
Or get her a crunchyroll or funimation subscription it's Netflix for anime

Maybe ask the gf to try to find out what they are actually watching or into. There is no magic "general anime" product that exists IMO. Think like someone buying you a present but all they know is you're a car guy. They don't even know you drive and like Honda's and they buy you TRD driving socks or something silly thinking you'll love it

The Blue Ladder or Green Buttons hoodie should go over well
I see quite a few girls on tiktok sporting my hero academia merchandise like phone cases/toys/sweatshirts
They're like anime fans in their 20s tho
Seems like a safe bet, everyone likes my hero academia, but if you really wanna hit it out of the park ya gotta find out what she loves
Edit: terriyaki has a point  buying a Honda guy TRD merch hehehe

You need to make absolute sure which Anime she watches first instead of guessing as step 1! Anime fans can be quite finicky, guess the wrong one could be bad haha

Getting something to blow someone's mind is very tough without being specific.
But finding out the specific is the challenge, and that's not something any of us in here can really advise with the given info.

Some people are *very* particular when it comes to anime. If you can find out which shows she watches or characters she likes from them you might be able to find a collectable of some sort from overseas.
Does she watch them dubbed (voices in English) or subbed (with English subtitles)? If subbed she might be interested in learning some of the native language (probably Japanese but maybe Korean). Or getting manga that goes with the show, again either translated or not.
Again it depends on the types of shows and country of origin but there's also "loot crate" subscriptions in every variation under the sun that might match what she likes. The items themselves are cool and translating the packaging can be fun too if learning the language a bit is something she's into.

If it's Monogatari I'm sure she would love the 3 piece set of characters which have interchangeable parts and faceplates https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B002ZLOPVM/..._M0cTFbADWPV3Q | |

Prolly be best to take a trip out to metro/Richmond to checkout the anime stores, in case those amazon products don't arrive in time (the shipping estimates r kinda wide)
Jesus do not search for monogatari cosplay (or any anime I imagine) in amazon, such weird fkn results.. body length pillows with nude anime characters on it... ffs

An Amazon.ca search shows quite a bit of the Monogatari stuff depending on your budget: https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=monogatari&ref=nb_sb_noss
Does anyone know if this stuff goes on sale? Black Friday shopping for Vampire toys on November 27th.

I think the best deals are the regular Banpresto ones they put in crane games as prizes. I have a shit ton of Dragonball ones filling up a display cabinet.
Example of some currently released ones from Monogatari - https://www.banpresto.jp/prize/0013.html
Sakura Media at Metrotown sells these kinds of figures. EB Games sells a variety as well online. But I imagine most manga stores will have some sort of figure section. https://www.ebgames.ca/SearchResult/...h?q=monogatari
For that Hitagi Senjougahara figure, since it's not a current release, you'll have to get it from somewhere online. If it's not on Amazon.ca, you can get it from Amazon.co.jp or through a private seller on MyFigureCollection.
