Where do you get your anime?

[SephYuyX]

Actually I should say, where do you buy it at? Yeah I know, who the hell buys things anymore when you can just d/l it.

Oddly though.. I never remember a single topic about anime on this board, video games and anime usually to go hand in hand >.>

I have a collection of sorts http://users.livejournal.com/trixi_/123509.html? and I used to do reviews for GameStop as a DM, so thats part of the reason I have so much. I do a few now a days, there on my LJ too, but no where near the quality of what I handed in.. Damn 2 page detailed reports when I could sum up a lot of them as 'pure crap'.

Well, anyway, im always looking for inexpensive anime; Rightstuf is usually a good source as they email once a week with new items and always have great deals going on. I just recently bought 50 pieces for $100. Does anyone know of any other good sites that do this? Im always seeing sales with Geneon and ADV, but does anyone know other sites that focus on different companys? I think I looked at DiscountAnimeDVDs, but their site is odd and doesnt work properly.

I've only ever bought anime twice, both from eBay.

I checked out a few links from where I've downloaded a few anime and found http://www.animefirst.com, but it says at the top Discount Anime DVD so I'm not sure if it's the same you're talking about or not.

I never actually bought any from here, but I used to look around on http://www.animenation.com a lot. No idea if their prices are good compared to other sites, but its the only site I really remember off the top of my head.

I have purchased stuff from them before, never had any problems, the prices were pretty good especially on sales which they tend to do a lot and they always sent cool little free things when you spent over a certain amount. Other then that, I used to order from http://www.chibitokyo.com . I haven't been there in a long time but they used to carry a ton of stuff. Oh, and China Town in NYC, get a whole series for 20 bucks. >_>

Edit: Just checked out ChibiTokyo, they are having a clearance sale, $25 and $30 dvds are selling for $10.

"Buy"? What is this... "buy"?

from the internets

[Gulkeeva]

I actually got like maybe 80 anime DVD's. haven't bought any for a long time, soorta wanna sell the ones I got. I used to buy'em so if I ever forgot what an anime was like I would rewatch but... soon as I look at the case, I can like remember what the whole series was about...

oh and I use

http://www.animesuki.com

been using it for a few years, I've got possibly few hundred anime series from there and kickassanime.com (has dvd rips of most old anime)

That torrent site looked really nice, and then I saw: "Please Note: AnimeSuki does not list licensed anime." ; ;

[SephYuyX]

Suki was really good, I switched to them after newgroups and IRC started getting old; sadly I visited Suki less when they started to take down licensed series. Took me awhile to find another good torrent site, and then FFXI came out and I stopped D/Ln all together, now I have Demonoid.

I dunno why I want to buy anime, I guess I like having the packaging and the real thing; even though now a days when I play .avi files on my TV it looks and sounds as good.

I liked the site Nikkei mentioned, but seems limited to only 10 series sadly lol. Animenation was the first site I bought anime from, but theyre always more expensive than anyone else, maybe theyve changed over the years.

lol

[Noobta]

I usually just use anidb.net to find the fansubs site, then download it off BT/IRC D:

[Krenna]

I buy all mine from http://www.Discountanimedvd.com Have roughly ~350 dvds now or so. They have sales *alot* Got the whole Wolf's Rain set (normally about 80 bucks) for $30~

[SilverBreeze]

I get most of my anime from animenation.com half.com or animesuki.com although I have been getting most of it from half.com recently. Anime Nation is usually best for finding harder to find anime.

[Thoronas]

I usually go to http://baka-updates.com to get my new anime as its an easy way to keep track of multiple new releases being put out by various sub groups. One of the best sub groups out there is http://www.shinsen-subs.org/.

I haven't bought anime in years because to be quite frank some of the "majors" like ADV, Manga, and what have you have worse subtitles than some sub groups. Plus the ridiculous fees I have to pay in Canada for some of these series and the fact that I have to wait years for it to come out in a box set thats affordable makes me wonder why the fuck I ever bought anime in the first place.

Also do yourself a favour and find a bit torrent for mushi shi. Easily one of the best series I've seen in years.
