You may recall hearing about Animate opening their first US store in Los Angeles a while back. Well, not only are they helping otakus in North America get their anime fix easier, but now they're (possibly) letting you choose which characters you want to see on a T-shirt!

How cool is that? You can choose to put Lime of Saber Marionette J, Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War, and Misato from Neon Genesis Evangelion on a T-shirt (pick anybody else and I'll hunt you down! I will find you!). How might you vote for your favorite anime characters (see above for your favorite anime characters)? Just head on over to Animate and fill out their brief survey!

On December 23rd, Animate opened its doors for the first time on US shores. By going to their website, you can also see that they plan to have an online store to complement the location in Los Angeles.

If you want head on down to the actual Animate store, you can find them at:

Animate U.S.A., INC.
7314 Melrose Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90046

Well, go on over and vote (remember who you're supposed to vote for!). While you're there, take a look at the pictures from the grand opening, peruse a short history on the company, and register so you can keep up to date with what's going on with Animate!
