Starting tomorrow, World of Ghibli is having a flash sale!

Qualifying purchases of Studio Ghibli merchandise will include free gifts like 3D puzzles, chopsticks, and mini towels. The number of gifts received will depend on the total amount purchased as shown on the image below. These gifts are while supplies last. Sale ends Monday night (May 29th). Read below for a brief summary of each gift.

It’s May 9th and that means it’s time to celebrate one of anime’s most iconic characters: Goku! To the uninitiated and unfamiliar of the fan holiday in Japan, Goku Day holds a very similar meaning to those familiar with May the 4th (Star Wars Day), as the number 5 can be translated as “Go” and the number 9 can be translated is “Kyu/Ku”.

To celebrate Goku Day, we’re counting down what we believe to be the top five fights Goku has had throughout the series, from Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball Super! Keep this in mind that this is only our opinion and that we’d love to hear what you believe are to be some of his iconic fights!
