If you are in the US, the Crunchyroll store has a ton of merch/books/video/figures/etc that is all officially-licensed products.

AnimeApe has a lot of clothing; not the most amazing quality but decent enough.

I came across Arcadia North a while back. They have pretty cool light up posters!

Check out BoxLunch

Popular anime right now so you could easily find merch.

In-store: 2nd and Charles (paradise for collectors), BoxLunch, Hot Topic, Ross Dress for Less (hit or miss, but have found some figures)

Online: Box Lunch, Crunchyroll, eStarland (owner is a straight up guy and awesome to work with)

Fun: Etsy, anime conventions (make it an experience)

I dont really know, but have a look in anime merch stores near you ig. You can also try searching online and purchasing from there, though that's more risky ofc. If you do purchase online try to get sellers that allow refund/free exchange if damaged just in case. 

You can also take a look at the official tensura website ten-sura.com, though im not sure whether they can ship to you (as its mainly information for shops in japan iirc)

Hi imcamwolf, it seems like you might be looking for anime recommendations! I have changed the flair on your post to indicate that, but if I'm wrong, feel free to change it back!

Amazon

AMAZOOOOON

We usually get stuff at cons, but most people we buy from at on Etsy. It’s you want licensed materials, it’s always safe to go through the official stores like Funimation, crunchroll, etc. if there are an anime store near your area they are usually safe to buy from too.

Kinokuniya has stuff, comic stores will usually have something like Newbury Comics have stuff. Oddly enough, target and Walmart have had posters for My Hero Academia and Deathnote, so if they are popular enough they might be there or Barnes and noble.

Crunchyroll sells merch.

Amazon.jp is the easiest way to get official anime merch, but the bad part is that since it’s the Japanese Amazon, you can only order stuff that is sold by and ships directly from Amazon itself.

Rakuten, amiami, rightstuf

.jp sites

As a rule of thumb you're better off buying directly from Japanese stores like Amiami, HLJ, Mandarake and hobbysearch than using western third-party stores. Its easier to get better deals and more punctual releases for new merch this way.

as someone who is now slowly purging alot of various collectible from various fandoms. My biggest advice is only but what you want and will enjoy. Don’t fall into FOMO or needing to have everything from one series.

Less is more and buy only what brings you joy and thqt you will enjoy having for a good long time

Honestly, I have been sticking to physical media due to not every series having a renewed license/NA distribution from Crunchyroll. I've bought a bunch of my collection secondhand (mostly Funimation stuff) or have been very lucky to wait for online sales.

My advice is to first make a list of the anime series you like the most and do a bunch of window shopping to compare prices. I honestly made a spreadsheet on Excel recently of series that I am currently in the process of collecting, and it has helped me so much to stay organized on my "hunts." 😆 Online reviews of physical media also help narrow down what version you want to buy and save on shelf space (and money).

Find a anime or Manga series you like and collect for that

Watch before you buy something if you can stream it first or borrow from a friend. This community is obsessed with blind buying, and then you see people offloading their impulse purchases when they inevitably run out of space.

If you put that requirement of watching before you buy, you'll naturally prioritize the stuff you actually have an interest in.

My advice? Don't.

In all seriousness, put limits on yourself. As you said, there is an overwhelming amount of merch out there, and if you don't have limits in place, you will end up spending way too much on a ton of stuff.

I advise sticking to just a few anime, your absolute favorites, and buy merch for those. And in addition, only collect certain kinds of merch. Do you like wall scrolls or figures? Blurays or soundtracks? Of course, you may like multiple types of merch, but try to limit yourself to the kind of stuff you really like.

For example, if you don't really care about Tshirts, don't buy one just because it has your favorite anime on it. Likewise, if you love tshirts, and you find one with an anime character you only sorta care about, you should probably skip it.

Of course, you will come across exceptions, where one item on particular is just really really cool. That's fine. Just make sure it doesn't get out of hand.

AmiAmi actually has quite a bit of merch (as does Amazon.co.jp). Other than AmiAmi and Amazon.co.jp, usually the manufacturers of the merch have it in their store. I also understand Animate Japan has a lot (https://www.animate-onlineshop.jp/), but you need a proxy, and need to search for the goods you want in the series original kanji.

Hey there, I just started selling anime merch this year. I hope it's ok to post my own website: https://cidsas-attic.com

I've got a ton of character goods to add so if you're looking for a series in particular let me know. A lot of it is older/unique/out of print so I have to take pictures myself.

If it has Kadokawa branding on it then it's officially licensed.

EJ Anime Store is pretty good. Also if you go to crunchyroll shop, they have links to other branches of good sellers in the US
