Welcome to the new Sugoi Saturday

We're turning the page: from merch shop to your guide for anime and Japanese culture across Southern California.

For years Sugoi Saturday was where you grabbed our merch and found out about our vendor pop-ups. Now we're doing something bigger.

What's changing

A blog covering local anime events, artist showcases, and Japanese culture.
A shared calendar of events across SoCal, from LA to San Diego.
Your events, too. Hosting something? Submit it and we'll add it.

See you out there.
