but...WHERE???

i dont know where to go to get the dvds/tapes

i know you can get em at Best Buy
but theres not one near me ... so is there any other place you would Recommend?

You can get them at best buy, target, wal-mart,k-mart, Sam Goodie, Virgin, On Cue, and just about any place that sells movies. Sam Goodie and Virgin have whole shelves that hold nothing but anime.

I myself have had to resort to smaller bookshops that have manga. I normally have to get it specially ordered through them though.

e-bay.com They'll come to your door

 

[AcousticHxC]

ya online u can get everything u want, and everything u dont want. but i dont see why anyone would get the second one...

 

[Lyle]

Yeah, or half.com They often/sometimes have better prices. Even going for something that is used may be a better deal.... Cartoon Network [Adult Swim]

You can also try going to conventions or anime stores.

I personally try to avoid buying anime on e-bay. I did it once and was very upset when I receved it because all it was was a fansub. I have no problem with fansubs normally but this person who sold it to me (1) was making money off the work done by the fansubbers and (2) led people to believe that it wasn't fansubbed but the actual licened version.

Yeah, you do get that sometimes. I hope you reported it. They shouldn't be allowed to continue that.

As for the actual question: any good P2P downloading program (I reccomend WinMX) will get you the anime you want, providing you've got a fast connection and are willing to leave the PC on 24+ hours. But that's how I get a lot of stuff. Except if it's licensed, then it's kind of illegal ;;

Another option would be to go down to your local video shop and look there. In the UK, anime is practically like golddust to find, especially in region 2. But it's possible. Blockbusters had a copy of the Eva OVA in last time I was up. And Forbidden Planet is a good place for us Brits to shop for anime.

Have a look around ^_~ See what you can find. There's a lot out there when you think about it.

Yeah, the key is to look. Wal-Mart has SOME anime where I live. Often big bookstores like Books-A-Million or Barnes and Noble or Borders have manga readily available. Suncoast Videos also carries a lot of anime. I just ordered the complete series and movie 'Escaflowne' off of Amazon.com. I got exactly what I paid for, and it got to me in LESS than a week's time!
