it will be very much appreciated for people to put down names of trusted anime shops.
i'm currently in the process of telling whether these are trusted anime shops.
can someone please give me their opinions of these shops as well as the ones you know of. DVD is what i'm after.
well if i get any dvds online i usually get them through www.barnesandnoble.com (kinda expensive, but free shipping on anything over $25) or www.animecastle.com (cheaper, but shipping per item.) i've never heard of the two you listed, so i can't help you there... sorry!
theres this anime shop at the mall that i go to every so often, its called Animagination its awesome they have everything and the poeple there are so nice they're not like salemen at a carlot they are really nice and they never try to pursuade (SP) you into buying something but they will help you look for what you want and if they dont have somehting they'll let you order it and when they get it in thy contact you as soon as they get it and let you know that its in, its a very trustworthy shop ^_~ i go there so much that they know me there
i really trust www.discountanimedvd.com/ anyway i bought 3 animes there and try to go for the bundels cause they are really cheap(i bought samurai deeper kyo for $20) it might take a week or two though.
I don't remember the exact URL but it's called akadot ^_^ I recently ordered from there and the shipping was super fast ^_______________^YaY!
http://www.akadotretail.com/ - Miscelleanous anime
goods. Fast shipping.
http://www.animebooks.com/ - Mostly artbooks. Also a good
site to order anime calendars
http://www.animenation.com/ - Lots of anime goods
http://www.animaxis.com/ - Located in Japan. Usually
gets the latest goods quicker and
they have rare stuff as well. Shipping is fast but expensive.
I have shopped at these places for a long time and never been disappointed on any of my purchases.

(those three are book stores)

I shop at anime castle.
I actually live near Anime Castle, so I go there to shop occasionally. I've found that I can usually find most DVDs cheaper elsewhere though, and I know the shipping at Anime Castle can be quite expensive.
Online, I usually use http://www.dvdpricesearch.com to find places that have anime DVDs cheap. However, the only ones I've actually ordered from are http://www.bestbuy.com (Best Buy), http://www.overstock.com, and http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com . I've found that Deep Discount DVD usually has awesome prices, and free shipping. And I usually get my stuff from them fairly quickly.
well i guess i live near animeten and a lot of different anime shops that are online and that are not online.
Just warning..that Discount Anime DVD site sells bootlegs. (Anything labeled "Import") So don't expect great quality..
Animecollector.com Must go there!!!!
yep! animecollector sells bootleg stuff. so does meganimedvds, njanime.
damn you google! tricked me! last time i'm using google to search for anime dvds.
here are some info for you people on how to spot fake goods.
1) they tend to have spelling mistakes. eg. nintindo
2) have funny english. things that don't make sense. eg. naruto spanks the monkey
3) anything made in taiwan. they're way behind on copyright laws. eg. made in taiwan
4) if you can buy a whole set for very little $. eg. $40 for all episodes of Love Hina
5) has english and chinese dubbings.
6) region 0 is always pirate.
7) 26 Episode series are never spread across 3 DVDs.
8) if you are unsure if an anime is licensed for such deals, check out www.animeondvd.com
9) If you own a DVD and are uncertain if it is authentic after reading all this, have a look at the inner ring of the DVD near the hole in the middle. Normally there is a serial number in this area, just like a CD. If it has been scratched off, melted away or otherwise tampered with then that is another sure sign of a pirate/bootleg DVD. This number is used to identify the DVD pressing plant and has been removed so it cannot be traced.
10) poor overall quality.
11) these are pirate companies
Animation International
Animation Japan International
Anime Cartoon
Anime Cartoon International
Anime Studio
Another DVD Company
Digital International
dvd Ani
fx
Indian International
K
mac (Manga Anime Cartoon)
Manga International
Video Animation
i would like to thank Anime Digital and www.animeondvd.com for providing such info.

if only i found out earlier about these bootleg. now i'm pissed off at myself.
I never buy anime from the net. I always get them at Best Buy. They have good prices
i have shopped at animenation.com before, they were okay
Pacific Mall has a cool shop where I've gotten most of my anime dvds from Chobits to Lain. <3 It's much cheaper than your average store, because the dvds are burned. At least they usually have full shows there. <3
i love you all. thank you for the info.
so... animenation is trusted.
right now, i only trust PLAY.com
i just hope i can get my money back.
it's strange.... animecollector came as a sponsored result when i searched "saikano dvds".
anything you search on "<title of anime dvd> dvds" and the first result is meganimedvd. another bootlegger.
unfortunely i live in europe, and since animecollector, i don't trust anywhere outside europe with a credit card number.
i don't like doing transactions with people who sell bootleg.
these are the only websites i trust.
www.animenation.com <<<< sort of trust. convince me to trust!
Me? I only trust Tokyopop or Viz with my money.
