Hey anime lover! Welcome to Animerch.
Great to have you here! You'd probably like to know more about this webshop and the person behind it. So let me introduce myself.
I'm Roemer, the founder of Animerch and, just like you, a huge fan of anime, Japan, and collectibles. My love for Japan began when I was 15 and received a Kakashi hoodie from my brother, who had just returned from Japan. From that moment on, I was hooked.
What started with binge-watching Naruto grew into a passion for Japanese culture, art, pachinko, and of course, anime. At 20, I studied in Japan for a semester—and that truly changed everything. Seven years later, I speak reasonable Japanese (N2), and I try to return to Japan every year. To see friends, discover art and antiques, win money at pachinko, and, of course, score new figurines.
During one of those trips, I realized what I really wanted to do: build an online store where anime fans like you and me can find everything related to Japanese pop culture. Accessible, reliable, and just… fun to browse.
So in 2024, I started Animerch. We now have hundreds of satisfied customers, and the site is growing every month. But believe me: we're just getting started.
