Official - ANIME Bargains! - Thread [updated daily...or close to it] - August '08
WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL ANIME BARGAINS THREAD ![]() Below are the ANIME (as well as the occassional anime-related stuff like manga) deals for the month of AUGUST. Please post your deals here as all new deals will be reposted to the first post of this thread on a daily (or close to it) basis. A new thread will be started each month as to keep the number of posts managable and the deals current. This thread is a work-in-progress, so feel free to message/e-mail me with any suggestions on how it can be improved upon. And maybe if there is enough interest and participation, we'll actually get a sub-forum of our own. ![]() Anime Bargains Archive 2004: Apr | May | 2005: Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec 2006: Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec 2007: Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec 2008: Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Quick Reference - DVD Databases (R1): DVD Database | Recent/Upcoming DVD Database | Anime Commercially Available in English - FAQs: Pirated Anime FAQ by Anime Digital | Bootleg CD Reference by Chudah's Corner - Guides to Anime on TV: Anime on TV Anime Television Resource | Adult Swim TV Schedule | Ani-Monday TV Schedule - Guides to DVD Cases: DVD - Case Types | Wikipedia: Optical Disc Packaging - Guides to DVD Hubs: DVD Cases & Hub Images | DVD-Caseguide | Optical Disc Products Gallery - Information on the Free Animerica Magazine @ Best Buy & Borders/Waldenbooks (B&M) - Others: Anime on HD | Blu-ray FAQ - Out of Print Anime: List Compiled by Michael's Movie Mayhem - Price Comparions: DVD Price Search | PriceGrabber.com And now, here are the...

Thanks for all the work done on this thread WTK. Have you seen any bargains for Royal Space Force HD-DVD?

![]() There hasn't really been bargains for Royal Space Force (Blu-ray or HD-DVD). Heavy discounts on the former BVUSA titles are rare. Discounts rarely go beyond 33% of the retail suggested price. As you may or may not know Bandai Visual USA has been liquidated. What was previously Bandai Visual USA will henceforth be known as Honneamise, a label within the larger Bandai (Entertainment) line. The first to get the new release treatment would be Freedom in a Blu-ray collection (dubbed, 11/11/2008). Freedom will also be released in regular DVDs (after the Blu-ray release), as two volumes and a boxset (not under Honneamise label). Other upcoming sub only titles include Gunbuster the Movie and Diebuster the Movie in DVDs (11/25/2008). The Blu-ray release of Gunbuster vs Diebuster will be released on 11/25 as well. Even with the merge and some dubbing, don't expect the retail pricing scheme to change too much. |

Anyone know where I can find Sailor Moon?
I'd prefer season boxes, but volumes will be fine too. Last edited by Veronica Mars; 08-02-08 at 03:27 AM. |

I don't want to sound like an ass, but I do hope that everyone realizes that this is for manga(books), not DVDs. |

I can help out here. i recently bought Sailor Moon Super S Box Set from Second spin. It's like $55 now, but if you can wait for one of their 20% off sales you can get it under $50. As for the others, I would ask at (if you're willing to try) GarageSaleJapan over at LiveJournal. it's not a legit store, but a series of posters posting their wares for sale. I've found many bargains there- like 4 volumes of manga for $15. or discs for $3-$4 a pop. ^ the the above is not allowed sry, just trying to give the heads up. |

I like the Bleach box, but whats the difference between the Naruto Shadow Box and the new one? Does anyone have any pics of it?
It makes me feel like I should have waited... although it only cost me around $85 total. |

I dont know whether to hate this thread or love it.... I just got into anime and I have spent around $300 a month for the last 3 months on the deals listed here.
Thanks for the info on the boxed manga collections. Bought all three *Sigh* and it is just the second day of August. |
