For those who enjoy anime subscription boxes, we have prepared a hands-on review of The Otaku Box for the April 2024 edition.

In case you are new to The Otaku Box, it’s a budget-friendly subscription box filled with anime merchandise focused on anime waifus.

Here’s what you can look forward to inside:

• Waifu-themed apparel
• 1:9 scale anime figures
• Keychains
• Console skins
• A variety of other collectibles

*Disclosure: This subscription box was gifted by The Otaku Box in exchange for an honest review. All views are my own.

How it works

Prices for The Otaku Box start at $29.95 for the basic box, which includes around 10 otaku items.

You can upgrade your box for more money to get extra items like an additional anime figure, a t-shirt, and over 700 pages of exclusive digital waifu oppai content.

The Otaku Box works on a subscription basis. Subscribers who commit to multiple months get benefits like extra free items and additional figures in their first box.

They focus on what their subscribers want by conducting polls to decide which items to include. They also have an active forum for fans and are very active on social media.

Shipping takes between 9 to 28 days and is available to many countries, including the US, where shipping costs $6.99.

What’s inside the Otaku Box (April 2024)?

Packed with various waifu, this collection also includes gentler and less provocative pieces.

Let’s take a look at them.

Chainsaw Man minifigure

This month, there are Power and Denji minifigures available, which you will receive at random (out of four possible options, you get one). I got the Denji one. Ah, those sharp teeth! Be careful!

Nezuko coin

Demon Slayer fans, rejoice! This month, there’s a coin with Nezuko’s portrait! But that’s not all—there’s more of Nezuko waiting for you as you read on.

Yor Forger string bag

Whether you’re headed to the gym or embarking on an outdoor adventure, you can pack a variety of items into this beautiful bag.

Its lightweight and compact design makes it a versatile and practical accessory for everyday use.

Rias Gremory epoxy sticker

A busty beauty, Rias Gremory becomes the first to bless the epoxy stickers collection in April.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that there will be more epoxy stickers available in future collections next month.

Nezuko T-shirt

I’m truly delighted with this beautiful Nezuko design; it’s delicate and quite conservative. She’s my favorite character from Demon Slayer because she’s loving, kind, and fierce. Despite becoming a demon, she retains her humanity and dedicates herself to protecting others.

Miia (Monster Musume) figure

Another voluptuous waifu figure is no other than Miia, a popular monster girl. She is depicted as being deeply in love with the MC and often competes with other monster girls for his affection, leading to humorous and occasionally chaotic situations in their daily lives.

Yuko Sagiri Scroll

Yuko Sagiri is a character from the anime and light novel series “Seitokai Yakuindomo.” She is the student council president known for her strict demeanor and dedication to her responsibilities. Her no-nonsense attitude and strong leadership make her respected among her peers.

Fans of “Seitokai Yakuindomo” and those who appreciate strong female characters with serious yet caring personalities will enjoy this raunchy scroll.

Demon Slayer button

A great choice as a small gift for a fellow otaku or as another addition to your collection, this button can be pinned on clothing items like jackets, bags, or hats to show your love for anime.

BB Waifu Card #52 (Series 3 )

My collection of waifu cards has been steadily growing, and this time I’m adding an underrated waifu to it!

Black Blossom, also known as BB, is a recurring character in the Fate franchise, known for her mysterious and sometimes antagonistic roles in Fate/Extra CCC and Fate/Grand Order events. She is often associated as the archenemy of Kiara Sessyoin and plays a significant part in various storylines within the series.

The Verdict

The Otaku Box April edition was much less provocative than I expected, so this Yor T-shirt is something you can wear even when visiting your parents!

Jokes aside, the variety of items was amazing, and discovering an antagonistic, lesser-known waifu like BB made my day. I also appreciate that the string bag is a practical addition, not just for the looks.

You’ve probably already read my December 2023 review of The Otaku Box, and now I’ve finally put together a review of their January 2024 box.

When I was younger, I stumbled upon the concept of subscription boxes, and it was like discovering a hidden treasure trove in an already exciting world. I was just starting to explore the vast universe of anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture, and every new discovery was like finding a new friend. The idea of receiving a curated selection of goodies related to my newfound passions on a regular basis was nothing short of amazing. I remember the first time I heard about these subscription boxes and it was like finding a secret society that catered to my interests. I couldn’t resist the promise of receiving a carefully chosen assortment of anime merchandise, manga volumes, figurines, and other collectibles sent straight to my door every month.

Introducing The Otaku Box, an affordable subscription box that is packed with anime goods. This month’s theme is all about Dnd Stuff, Waifus, husbandos & ecchi!

In this subscription box, you can expect to find a range of exciting items such as apparel featuring waifus, anime figures, keychains, and various other collectibles.

*Full Disclosure: It’s important to note that The Otaku Box gifted this subscription box in exchange for an honest review. As always, all views expressed are my own.

How it works

Prices vary, with the cheapest option starting at $29.95 for the default Otaku Box, which includes around 10 otaku items.

You can add more items to your box for a higher price. These extras include another anime figure, a t-shirt, and even digitally exclusive 700+ pages of waifu oppai.

As mentioned earlier, The Otaku Box operates on a subscription basis. If you subscribe for multiple months, you’ll receive benefits such as extra free items and additional figures in your first box.

What’s special is that they care about what their subscribers want. They conduct polls to decide what items will be included in the boxes and maintain an active and engaging forum where fans connect with each other. They’re also active on social media platforms.

Shipping takes 9 to 28 days, and they ship to the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Shipping is $6.99 in the US. 

What’s inside the Otaku Box (January 2024)?

As soon as I tore open the latest package from The Otaku Box, a warm feeling of nostalgia hit me. It brought back memories of all the fun I’ve had with the treasures that each new box brings. The items inside were colorful and had interesting shapes. Everything was just waiting to be discovered and it was like finding hidden treasures.

Mini Haikyuu!! Figure

In January 2024, there were 8 mini figures from January 2024 that you could get (selected randomly), and I received Kenma Kozume!

If you’re a Haikyuu!! fan, you gotta have a Kenma Kozume mini figurine in your collection. It’s so cool to own one given Kenma’s popularity among fans of the series. I’m really happy I got one for myself. And its pretty well made.

Waifu Gaming Dice

You might want these if you’re into Dungeons & Dragons and love a bit of anime waifu flair. As a fellow D&D lover, I was drawn to these dice for their fun chibi inspired anime waifu, as well as for their practicallity, they made me chuckle a bit when i held them in my hands.

But don’t think these dice are just pretty faces — they’re also quiet good. They roll smoothly, and give accurate results, so you can focus on your gameplay without worrying about the dice failing you.

Controller skins

If you’re a fan of anime and want to make your gaming setup look cuter, you should check out controller skins with these cute waifu designs. They not only make your controller look cooler, but also protect it from scratches and wear and tear, so it stays like new. These skins are super easy to put on and take off, and you can hold your controller without feeling any discomfort.

Collectible Metal Waifu Card

Choosing Zero Two as the star of the metal waifu card was a smart move because she’s a fan favorite. She’s a main character in Darling in the Franxx, and people love her because she looks cool, has a complicated personality, and has an interesting backstory. That’s why she’s perfect for a collectible item like a metal waifu card. Though I’m not really big on collecting cards, the quality is good for card collectors.

Anime Shoelaces

The Demon Slayer anime-inspired shoelaces are a cool, practical, and stylish accessory that lets anime fans flaunt their love for their favorite series in a creative and practical way. They’re super eye-catching and durable, and they add a touch of anime effect to your kicks.

T-shirt

The first thing that caught my attention was the dope art print of Zero Two. Her pink hair, red horns, and mysterious smile were illustrated so beautifully, it was a no-brainer to put this on a t-shirt.

Esdeath Figure

Although the Esdeath figure may not be of the highest quality, it still offers fans a decent representation of the character that captures her essence and presence. The figure’s faithful sculpting, recognizable design, and dynamic pose make it a worthy addition to any Akame ga Kill! collection. It provides fans with an accessible and affordable way to celebrate their love for the series and its memorable characters.

Yor Forger Scroll

The Yor Forger Scroll is a really cool and awesome item that fans of the series are going to love. However, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s mainly meant for collectors. So, it might not be your thing if you’re not really into collecting scrolls, though the art is good.

Yue (Arifureta) Button

If you’re a fan of Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest, then check out the Yue button! It’s a cute and simple way to show your love for one of the show’s beloved characters.

The depiction of Yue, with her ethereal beauty captures the essence of her character and transports fans back to the fantastical world of “Arifureta”. From her elegant attire to her striking hair accessories, every detail is faithfully recreated.

And don’t be fooled by its small size, this button packs a punch! The printing is bright and clear, with colors that really stand out. Plus, the button is built to last, so you can attach it to your backpack, jacket, or hat and it will stay put. It’s the perfect way to show off your love for the series and keep it with you wherever you go.

Waifu Card

The Waifu Card is an ongoing collection with over 50 cards to date. The one I received this month features Aqua “Goddess of Water, Damegami” from KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!

As a die-hard fan of the series and with the latest season of the show available to watch. It was a great addition! I was really thrilled to get this waifu card, now if only I could get the other girls from the series.

The verdict

So, is the Otaku Box worth it? I genuinely think it’s a budget-friendly option that can suit any otaku who loves popular waifus with big oppai, as they seem to be featured most in the artworks and figures. Those looking for less popular anime characters might be disappointed.

Since there is an uncensored option, it’s also “adult-friendly,” which might be hard to find elsewhere, making it another advantage over the competition.

Overall, it allows you to indulge in anime merchandise without breaking the bank.

You’ve probably already read my November 2023 review of The Otaku Box, and now I’ve finally put together a review of their December 2023 box.

In case you don’t know what The Otaku Box is, it’s an affordable subscription box filled with many anime goods. The theme? Waifus & ecchi!

You can expect to see items like:

• apparel with waifus,
• 1:9 scale anime figures,
• keychains,
• console skins,
• various other collectibles.

What’s inside the Otaku Box (December 2023)?

This box is called a waifu box for a reason; if you look closely inside, you’ll notice that most of the items feature scantily clad anime girls who are popular among fans.

I’ve recorded some of my favorite items and turned them into GIFs so you can get a better idea of how they look in reality.

Controller skins

Do you enjoy gaming? The most popular consoles have received special waifu skins! It’s great to customize your controllers, and the artwork is really nice.

Waifu Puzzle Cube

Admiring the beautiful faces of waifus can indeed be satisfying and rewarding. If you find yourself getting bored often, solving this waifu cube might be your gateway to a more fulfilling pastime!

Keychains

You can probably agree with me that a keychain with your favorite anime character can be a small yet meaningful way to express your interests and add a bit of joy to your everyday life.

The main acrylic keychain featured in the December 2023 Otaku Box was Luffy from One Piece, one of the most popular shounen characters and a beloved icon in the anime community.

T-shirt

This stripped t-shirt featuring Rias Gremory from High School DxD has a strangely seductive appeal. I haven’t washed it enough times to know if it really stands the test of time, though.

Again, if you love Rias, you can easily express your admiration for her and the series this way, while also incorporating personal style and interests into your wardrobe.

Albedo Figure

1/9 scale figures offer a compelling combination of detail, affordability, and display impact, making them popular among collectors.

From what I understand, their figures are unlicensed original sculptures. The quality isn’t top-tier, but that’s expected. It’s decent, though.

Waifu Card

The Waifu Card is an ongoing collection with over 50 cards to date. The one I received this month features the Ice Queen Esdeath from Akame ga Kill.

Waifu Drink Cards

Which tag describes you best? If I had to pick one, I would probably pick Raphtalia!

A2 Scroll

A2 might not be the most popular character from Nier: Automata, but she seems to have won the poll on the Otaku Box site. As a result, her artwork was chosen to be made into the scroll!

Mini Figure

In December 2023, there were 4 mini figures from Kaguya-sama: Love is War that you could get (selected randomly), and I received Chika!

The verdict

So, is the Otaku Box worth it? I genuinely think it’s a budget-friendly option that can suit any otaku who loves popular waifus with big oppai, as they seem to be featured most in the artworks and figures. Those looking for less popular anime characters might be disappointed.

Since there is an uncensored option, it’s also “adult-friendly,” which might be hard to find elsewhere, making it another advantage over the competition.
