It's true that most anime fans love their merch. It's a fun way to show off their pride for their favorite show or Studio Ghibli film. No matter if they're a fan of One Piece, Naruto or My Hero Academia, there are collectibles, toys and apparel for all ages.

Not too familiar with anime? Don't worry, we got you. Some of our team watches a good deal of anime, and we've coupled that with plenty of research to come up with the best anime gifts for kids, teens and adults.

This may be obvious, but anime is pretty diverse and offers various genres. So it's important to know which shows or movies your boyfriend, tween girl or best friend watches. After all, it'd be pretty awkward if you got them a gift for a show they didn't like or even know about. And we know the holidays are pretty much here, so we included plenty of gift ideas that you can get with speedy Amazon Prime shipping. Even better, lots of these gift recommendations are under $30, so they won't break the bank.
