A good place to buy Anime DVD's?

*EverQuestJunky* · Nov 07, 2004, 09:05 AM

I am looking to buy the whole Card Captor Sakura series on DVD for my girlfriend for Christmas. I was wondering what places the members of AO order from. Since this series is about 20 DVD's, I am trying to find it at a reasonable price, but new, and not HK DVD quality. My goal is to not spend over 500 on this, but if I have to I will. Any suggestions for good distributers?

Yeah same here, but for a place that also has cheap shipping cost

i know for a fact that Houseofanime.com doesn't even charge shipping as long as you buy over $10 which is most likely gonna happen for you

as for HK quality, I am not sure, because I know they sell Taiwain quality music cds so you might wanna look into it yourself

Nothing for shipping hey, hmmm i doubt it, if it's from one country to another they going to charge me, i'll have to look into that. thanx!!

I've bought anime online for years, and If you want reliability, I'd suggest www.animecornerstore.com - these are for R1 original discs. They give a little off on bundles, and shipping is free over a hundred dollars. I've bought from them numerous times, and they've never failed to satisfy. I took a look just now, and you're still going to be under your budget...by not much though.

That being said, and I'm sure you've heard it a lot, if you want R1 quality, you can sometimes find a gem off ebay - a lot of collectors get rid of their stuff there. I've bought a lot of brand new/practically new series there at a fraction of the cost. It's still the luck of the draw however, and for a gift for your significant other, I wouldn't take a chance unless I had plenty of time.

I've bought from Rob's store too several times. Always a great experience. Anytime I've e-mailed customer service I usually got a response within 20 minutes or so.

And Ebay is touch and go on how much money your going to save versus the possiblity of getting ripped off. I would stick with www.animecornerstore.com if I were you, since you're looking for this as a gift for someone.

If your looking for a store - the best places are Suncoast/Sam Goody or even Best Buy - they surprizing have the best prices and selection.

Finding a good anime store is really hard. Thats why you should buy off the internet, it's alot easier IMO... Amazon.com for example :P Though, they dont have alot of titles.

That's when you beat someone in the head with a stick and... I just joking. Well e-mail customer service and demand more anime. How you think things in the anime world got done in the first place? Remember AN.

If you live in Europe then www.archonia.com would be a very good place to order dvds, manga and figures, and the shipping is very good too, around 18$ and then you get 100% guarantee on the package, and online tracking =D
