Hot Topic,

800 East Dimond Boulevard, Anchorage, AK 99515

"My experience with this hot topic was quite terrible. Yet, I would like to say that I was greeted by friendly and chill employees. When I first walked in I was met with a strong stench of body odors. This is not the first time it has reeked of that. The store had an okay selection of anime merchandise, but most of it was out of stock. As I walked along the walls that carried funko pops and stuffed animals, I saw a Pikachu plushie with stains on it. It appeared to have white smudges and it had a hole located under the tail. From this, I can infer that the staff does not do a great job of of keeping maintainence of the items being sold. I set the plushie down and tried to ignore it but as I walked further back to the store, I saw a group of what looked like teenagers aged from 15-18. I just smiled at them as they stared and I proceeded to look at anime posters. They started foaming at the mouth and profusely itching themselves. I was a little creeped out by this, so I asked if they were okay and made sure they didnt need help. All they did was itch themselves and they would not break eye contact with me. I started to call for employees and ask for help but the only reply that I got from them was that the group of teenagers come here everyday and do that when they feel intimidated by another. I was highly confused because at this point they were scratching themselves so hard that there was blood trickling down their necks. I tried to slowly walk away but suddenly one of the teens wearing a dog's collar jumped onto me and started tearing at the flesh in my leg with their bare teeth. I was passed out due to blood loss and that is basically all I can remember. I am in the emergency room currently needing a blood transfer. I would not recommend this store especially for children and people over the age of 65."

"Tons of goofy and harder to find stuff. Staff is always nice. Drop by."

"The stuff there was super cute and interesting! This was my first time going to a hot topic and it was fun looking at all of the stuff! :D Here’s all the stuff I got ^^"

"Love the collection of items, I'm a Nightmare before Christmas lover... So I had to grab this purse. My daughter got herself some Stitch items. And we both got some cute jewelry, I got a mystery bag and got a beautiful fairy cup some fairy rings, I'd purchase another mystery bag."
