So I know Christmas is next week (yes, I had to double-check my calendar, and yes, there are just ten days left) but there’s always time to gaze longingly at more anime merch to try and fit onto your shelf.
Can you blame me when there’s an Inosuke and Tanjiro that fit in the palm of your hands?
Funimation has put together a list of goodies that, as I write this, you either already have on your list, or you’re trying to pretend don’t exist because you’re supposed to be shopping for other people, but when else is the entirety of Yu Yu Hakusho going to be available for under $100?
Watch Yu Yu Hakusho is what I’m saying.
One thing to keep in mind while looking through this guide, if you’re a Premium Plus subscriber to Funimation, you get a discount on top of the sale price.

Overall Fangirl Reaction: I care very much about being able to hold Tanjiro in the palm of my hand. I’m also endlessly entertained at the description that makes sure to point out Inosuke’s lack of a shirt.
All the My Hero Academia

Availability: Currently out of stock
Description: This Deku suit-up backpack features multiple compartments, adjustable straps, and a place for your laptop. We looked for his extensive Pro Hero notes—no luck.
Overall Fangirl Reaction: I have no use for backpacks, which, of course, means I want some backpacks. While I already own both of the My Hero Academia movies, I can’t stop laughing at there being a figure of Toru. I’m sure a lot of work went into creating the invisible space she embodies.
I’m hoping that, one day, we’ll get a bundle with the third movie that comes with Rody and Pino.

Description: Thanks to Grandpa Gohan, Goku has his first Dragon Ball. Replicating the iconic 4-star ball, this USB-powered lamp has a dimmer feature and detachable base. Maybe that new girl, Bulma, can help him find the rest.
Overall Fangirl Reaction: I’ve been collecting Dragon Ball merch since the 90s, and yet there always manages to be something I don’t have. I’m a bit bummed out that the changing mugs are sold out, but I’ve seen them around before, so I’m pretty sure they’ll be back. In the meantime, I’ll be spending too much time in the anime HomeGoods section.

Should probably do some One Piece
One Piece – Monkey D. Luffy 3 Pc. Gift Set (Includes Mug, Notebook, and Keychain)
Licensee: Abysse America
Price: $29.99
Purchase Link: Over at Funimation
Availability: Currently in stock!
Description: Be on the lookout for Straw Hat Luffy. We’ve put his image on this three-piece gift set. It has an 11-ounce mug, PVC keychain, and notebook with his wanted poster on it. Don’t be enticed by his friendly demeanor, or you may find yourself part of his crew as well!
Fangirl Reaction: You know honestly, this really does look like the kind of gift I’d get someone who is into One Piece. Like. I wouldn’t want to attempt to buy the anime series or the manga because I wouldn’t know how far along my fan friend is, but this reminds me of when we would do Secret Santa gift exchanges and get some vague sense of direction on what to buy someone.
If it said One Piece I’d just grab this.

glow. Don’t make him angry or you’ll get burned!
Fangirl Reaction: Another series I haven’t looked into (yet) but I’m forever a fan of whatever Kotobukiya’s got going on.

This concludes a rather hefty guide of anime merchandise to stuff your stockings with. What items are you most interested in? As gifts, of course, this is totally, 100%, a guide for gift giving and not a reason for any of us to get more anime-themed coffee mugs.
But yes, I will be getting an anime-themed coffee mug.
Happy holidays!
