Yes, sadly tonight is the last night for Anime Avalon, the only store in Houston specializing in anime and manga to be open. Everything in the store is 50% off. They still have a lot of stuff. I went there first thing this morning. Their rental dvds are going for 5$ each with the case included. There aren't many figurines left, mostly just a couple of the higher priced ones. But they still have a lot of manga on the shelves. Off the top of my head, they had most of Beserk, Hikaru No Go, some volumes of Naruto and Bleach, Black Cat, Yu Yu, and more Shonen Jump stuff. They had a lot of other titles, but I'm just remembering the most popular. I would say they have about 10 tall bookshelves of manga left in the store, along with various bargain titles and out of print large old school manga like Guyver. They also still have some rental dvds for 5$, about 1/4 of their original stock. They also have some new dvds at half off. I did see many rental Inuyasha dvds, Dragonball Z, but most of the other titles were older or just not the most popular titles. It is open till 9pm tonight, so if you are an otaku in the area, definitely get down there to see if there's anything you might want. You'll regret it if you don't! I'm gonna miss that place.

Well, some good news. I just checked the Anime Avalon website and it said that their landlord was giving them another week before they would have to close. So that means another week of 50% discounts. It does say they will be closed tomorrow but will reopen at the normal time on monday. It also says that they will be getting in some merchandise on monday and are currently restocking shelves with stuff they had no room for before.
