✨ Happy New Year from Anime Express ✨
As a new year quietly begins, we offer our deepest gratitude to the people who have stood with us—our loyal customers, our community, and those who believed in our vision from the very start.
Established in 2022, Anime Express began as a dream and proudly became Butuan’s first licensed anime-centric store. In just two years, what started as a humble stall evolved into a lovely kiosk, a testament to perseverance, passion, and the unwavering support of our community.
In 2025, we reached another meaningful milestone by becoming Meta Verified: an honor that reflects the trust, authenticity, and consistency you have helped us build, every step of the way.
🙏🏻 To our Valued Collectors:
Thank you for choosing us, returning to us, and growing with us. Your trust, conversations, and shared love for anime are the heart of Anime Express. Because of you, this space became more than shelves and displays, it became a home for nostalgia, comfort, and connection.
For many of us, anime is not just entertainment.
It is refuge.
It is memory.
It is a way of healing our inner child:
one plush toy, one figure, one anime conversation at a time.
Along this journey, we have felt both support and pressure:
Our ideas secretly copied by some competitors.
Our concepts spied upon.
Our movements quietly followed.
But imitation only ever trails behind intention.
What we build is not just seen—it is FELT, and authenticity cannot be replicated.
🙏🏻 Our sincere appreciation to SM City Butuan for the opportunity, support, and space to grow. Being part of this community and serving fellow fans within this city has been an honor we do not take lightly.
🙏🏻 To our Guardians and Friends:
Thank you for watching over us, standing beside us, and quietly protecting what we’ve built. Your presence, seen or unseen, has meant more than you know.
"To God be the glory"
😱 This year, something new is quietly taking shape behind the scenes.
A project born from passion, nostalgia, and careful intention, and created for those who truly understand. 🙂↕️
Thank you for healing with us.
The story continues… Your story. Our story.
まだ間に合う、良い子ども時代を
