| - Why is it called Tokyo "Discount" when everything is more expensive than Mitsuwa? When I lived in California, we had these type of stores on every street. Here in Clark County there is like 2 in the whole county.
In San Diego County, we had stores named "Tokyo Lifestyle", which featured the same Japanese household appliances that TOKYO DISCOUNT has, but for half the price. Also, the workers were usually Japanese. Here at TOKYO DISCOUNT, the workers are usually just 16 year old high school kids from Henderson who are not of Asian descent. That's not a complete turn off.... From my experience, Japanese people who were born and raised in Japan are pretty airheaded and clueless about their own society. I was at a Japanese staffed appliance store once and asked for a Zaru. The worker came back with a solar powered toothbrush. When I explained that a Zaru is a type of draining basket item, he just replies with "SO DESU NE" and then awkwardly looks at me for like 2 minutes with a strange blank stare. I even asked for simpler items such as "Milky's", and he still had no clue what I was talking about. I then informed him that it is the brand of candy that has "Peko-Chan" on the box. How can you live in Japan and not know who Peko-Chan is! WTF is wrong with public education in Japan these days? I know Mexican people in Guadalajara who know who Peko Chan is!
Now, lets talk about Anime items. The Animes that were popular in Japan were not quite the ones that somehow became popular in America. Here is a question for you guys: What do you think is considered the most influential Anime in Japanese history by most Japanese critics? Was it Dragon Ball Z? Was it Pokemon? or was it One Piece? The answer= None of them. Most critics agree that the most influential anime in history was a G-rated story about a 5-year old girl: "The Girl of the Alps". TOKYO DISCOUNT does not sell merchandise from Classic Influential Animes. Well, In LA County and Orange County we had stores named "Tamaya" which was owned by the very wise Hiro-San. You can go into Hiro's store and ask him a question like: "Who wrote and directed the 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam" or "What was the surprise twist ending in the final episode of the 1978 version of Galaxy Express 999" or even "Who was the singer and narrator of the 1973 Mazinger Z?". And Hiro could answer all the question within a split second. We just don't have people that cool here in Clark County. All we have are guys who scream "Gummy Gummy Fruit Fruit", and watch mind numbing-storyless animes for the blinking lights, the loud high pitched screaming noises, the ridiculous flying battles, and colorful explosions. If you are one of these guys I described, come to TOKYO DISCOUNT and have an orgy of fun.
Also, this store is located in the same shopping center as Sushi-Mon, so be extra careful because "The Eternal Lord of Darkness: Martin Koleff" might rise from his fiery grave and use his neon laser fangs to infect you with the Mon-virus. I heard if you say his name backwards it sends him back to hell. It's your only hope for survival.
Why am I giving this place 4 stars instead of 1? Because like I explained above, us people of Japanese lineage are known to do stupid things.
