Around 2010, there was a "raid" in Chinatown and a lot of stores got closed including the Harmony Melodies (The upstairs store known for it's anime CD selection, posters, figures and long before, manga librarie)
Today all that really remains is the one that shares half the store with a dep, the newer one that opened which on the same street (Boul St. Laurent) towards Old Port, one inside Swatow Plaza (also Boul St. Laurent) on the bottom floor and a few small pop ups here and there that come and go with small selection.
The very first anime merch store in Chinatown still exists, originally they were INSIDE the Holiday Inn in Chinatown then moved around a lot and now exists tucked away next to Restaurant Orange Rouge on the main Chinatown walkway.
Hope that helps.
