“Great Anime Clothing, Some Sizing Inconsistencies”

Bill C.
2/29/24

I have purchased around 6 different items from this website over the years and the actual clothing has always been beautiful, good quality and looks like it does on the website. The only thing I'd say is maybe go a size up, because I'm a big guy and sometimes the 4XL fit great and other times I had to go up to 5XL. Anime Ape has always been very helpful in any instance where I needed help though. I'd say if you see something you like go for it!

“Do Not Buy”

Lucas R.
2/6/24

If you intend to shop with Anime Ape for exercise clothing or shorts I would avoid this company. I would be fine with an overseas manufacturer if they did a good job. The pockets on their shorts are sewn very poorly. In five hours of use with nothing more then my hand in the pocket the bottom of the pocket had come right open. Now this was not 5 hours of consecutive use, it was over three workout sessions.

I purchased a baseball jersey for my anime fan son for his birthday. I was honestly nervous about the size I purchased and I was just amazed at how the Anime Ape customer support was there to help me. I honestly was a little iffy on purchasing from the website because I was not sure if it was a scam but I'm glad I found a place for all of my son's anime gear going forward. The quality was amazing as well, I have not been able to find such stylish gear elsewhere!

This cloak really is a dream come
True! It's stylish, comfortable, easy to wash. This company is honest, considerate, and made me feel confident in making my purchase with them! They are absolutely amazing!

Tip for consumers:
If you’re on the fence about buying, do it! They will make sure you’re satisfied with your product! It’s very high quality.

Tip for consumers:
For a faulty product they offered me a $20 gift certificate and told me they could not replace the product nor give me a refund. The $20 is an attempt to get me to spend more money with their company, WHICH I WILL NOT BE DOING.

Products used:
2 compression shirts and 2 pairs of shorts.

This was my second order from anime ape, I order 3 button ups, 2 t-shirts, 1 swim trunk. The button-ups material feels very cheap like knock off hawaiian shirt polyester but the sizes are fairly true. The T-shirts I received are definitely not based of the same sizes as they fit a size larger, the material of the t-shirts is a light thin polyesterish material as well (white is basically see through). The trunks were ok and true to size material feels like what swim trunks should me so no complaints there. Overall still not impressed especially with a no exchange policy on sizing, nothing says screw the customer like an online clothing company with a no exchange policy.

No Refund policy

They couldn't return the clothing due to it being made to order, but they did issue me a coupon for the price of the item I purchased so I could buy a new one. Great customer service imo.

The Gear 5th Luffy Shirt took some time to get delivered to me (About 1 1/2 to 2 weeks) but was worth the wait. Great One Piece design of Luffy and the shirt material feels good. Also, the shirt is true to size (buy your normal shirt size). Thanks to everyone in Anime Ape. Truly appreciate it!

I got the spy family annya hoodie the design is good but it's just printed which means the image is a little blurry. The material is cheap seems to be bearly made out of cotton and won't provide any warmth. The stitching is mediocre. The only reason it's getting this many stars is because the person I bought for loves it. I would gladly pay more so some real good quality stuff I wish is anime fans can actually get high quality merch with good designs AND good quality material.

Now, onto the quality of the products. I can't emphasise enough how comfortable these rashguards and shorts are. Constructed from high-quality materials, they provide both flexibility and durability, essential for any active lifestyle. Whether you're catching waves, hitting the gym, or simply lounging at home, you'll feel both stylish and comfortable in these garments.

I ordered the Cream of the Crop Randy Savage button up and it was incredible. There was a slight issue, though: it was the wrong size! They graciously and quickly acknowledged it and offered to fix the problem painlessly. A little bit later i got the right size and everything was great. Between the great customer service and awesome designs, you can't go wrong.

I enjoyed my baseball jersey purchases. They are stylish and so far appear to be very well made. Also, when I requested a size change, the company gave me a refund without questions asked; allowing me to purchase another jersey in the right size. I respect and appreciate that.

For reference, I bought the Akatsuki and Demon Slayer Jersey.

I bought the Tanjiro rashguard and gym shorts for no-gi. My opponents were too absorbed into the optical illusion of the green and black squares. Easy win. I'm seriously considering the Tanjiro spats to complete the look.

I spent nearly $200 on a dream cloak, a hoodie, and a printed shirt for my wife for Christmas - all three were of poor quality - the dream cloak is made of cheap materials with poor craftsmanship, and both the hoodie and the shirt feel like non-breathable plastic on the skin. (Not to mention the print job is extremely cheaply done)

These garments were to be my centerpiece Christmas gift this year, so you can imagine my disappointment when she opened garments that were of this low quality.

There are numerous mentions on anime ape's website about the quality of their "hand crafted" products and their hassle-free return policy - Anime Ape has fallen short on both.

When a customer pays a premium price point for garments, the expectation is that the product quality will match the cost, but that is very much not the case here.

I initiated my return and I immediately start getting haggled by customer service. First they offer me an exchange (when I said the issue was the quality of clothing), then they offered me 60% of my money back, stating that it was "fair"

I'm sorry but when you mislead your customers into thinking they're buying a premium "handcrafted" product, but instead you're given a cheap print shop garment that isn't going to last, a 60% refund is not fair.

The return policy clearly states that Anime Ape will take it back for any reason and that satisfaction is 100% guaranteed, and I am finding that to not be the case.

These clothes aren't going to be worn, and I want to send them back. Anything short of that is unsatisfactory.

I can't believe I'm actually considering this, because I've never had do deal with customer service like this before, but if I dont get my money back, I'm absolutely taking this to small claims court

Their items are not "handcrafted" as stated

I ordered one of the gym shirts and a dream coat. Both have a great quality and great colors. I use both regulary and they are still in great condition. It takes a while till the products ship, but since they are made on order it makes sense.

I will preface this by saying that I have not reached out to Anime Ape yet, so we will see what their Customer Service does. I've have these shorts for a few months, but with only a few wears and washes the stitching has come undone. They are oversized, so there is not excessive strain on the stitching. Will update after hearing from Customer Service.

What the title says. Bought what they advertised as a "holiday sweater" the same day I bought a "holiday sweater" from a different brand. Funny enough one of them was a real sweater and one was just a long sleeve t-shirt printed to look like one. From the rating on this review you can probably guess which one was the fake sweater. The funniest part is that it cost me $10 more than the real sweater. The material is so thin you can see where the tag is through both the front and back layers.

I always see ads for things that are to good to be true but after looking into this site and reading the positive reviews I decided to take a chance. I was not disappointed from the quality of the product to how fast the shipping was. The coat is not cheaply made keeps me so warm that I've fallen asleep in it. Not to mention it didn't take 4 months to receive it.

Ordered the Dale Hawaiian shirt https://animeape.com/products/chip-n-dale-button-up-hawaiian-shirt/ - The quality is mid; it seems sturdy enough but the stitching is visible on the outside and high contrast. The size, though, is the killer; all the reviews I can see say these shirts tend to run large and this is absolutely a size and a half small. I wear a 3X-4X and the 4X I ordered fits like a very small 3X. No way to leave a review on the website; I can only assume their reviews are false. Unable to return, as the shirt was washed and out of the original packaging, which is super unhelpful especially when it comes to sizing problems.

Tip for consumers:
Expect cosplay quality, not clothing quality. Ignore the fake reviews on the site and make sure to size up.
