Went out yesterday with not the highest of expectations. Thought I'd see if the stores around here had any of the bargains posted by everyone.

FYE (our store is very small) had the Geneon Sale going. To my surprise, they had the titles I wanted (Shana, Kara Maoh, Elemental....etc.) and then some. That was great.

Then it was off to Best Buy....they had "multiple" copies of the Funimation titles on sales...such as Basilisk, Trinity Blood, Tsubasa.

Found everything I wanted....how often does that happen???

Then topped it off with a small Bandai order from RS. Only problem now is finding the time to watch everything.

Does anyone know what the difference between Blue Submarine No. 6 Complete Collection (Anime Legends) and the Special Edition is? and which one is more recommended over the other?

Digital Saint

Well, I have the Anime Legends version, the DVDs are two sided, by that I mean you watch one side, and then you have to flip the DVD over to watch the next part, etc. I really hate those types of DVDs, but I got it for like $10 so for that price it's okay. I'd be willing to bet the other collection has the one sided releases, but I'm not certain. If it's only a few dollars more, I'd go with the non Anime Legends set.

They are the same release disc wise.
Only difference I can tell is a plastic slipcover the SE had and the Anime Legends one has slight different cover art.
Though I have seen some of the SE come without the slipcover to.

The Special Edition also has the 2 two sided disc and the third extra disc is one sided.

Digital Saint

Seriously? Bah, just get the Anime Legends set then, it's quite a bit cheaper last time I compared.

Are all these deals over? Can't seem to find any for the listed price.

Naruto Uncut B oxed Set #7 is 22.49 at Amazon.com. Pretty good deal for a preorder.

And I still can never figure out why WTK only posts one or two of these "Shawne's Deal of the Day" when he has access to all 10. They're always posted on animeondvd.com. It doesn't quite make sense why all 10 isn't posted here on dvdtalk.com

The deal of the days can be found daily here:

Nice find.

Here is the link to the product.

I only posted selected "deal" that I see fit for this thread. Most of the "deals" are usually average at best, so I filter out certain parts if necessary. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but this is how I chose to run the anime bargain threads here @ DVDTalk.

The next ANIMANIA event @ select TWEC stores (FYE, Suncoast,...) is going to on April 27th.

Thanks mate! Never went in on a deal of the day before.

quick question...if i have 2 dvds on order @ fye.com..and i cancel one...will it take away my free shipping if taking away one dvd makes the total of the order under $25?

WTK

I'm sure that they will take out the free S/H if your order is under the $25 threshold. It will be a dumb move for them if they don't do that.

Sweet Baby James

You can always let the order go through and return it to a B&M. I've returned online orders to an FYE B&M in the past(you should check with your local store to see if they still do this).

Restocked with 1 more copy!

Spent another $54 at FYE and got Fate/Stay vols 1,2 &4 a well as the Tenchi movie collection. I'll probably nhit it one more time to try to snag vol's 3 and 6 to finish that series.

Then I'll just need to pick up Zipang, Strawberry Marshmallow, and Kami-chu in the next few months and I'll pretty much be finished up on what I want from Geneon.

I'm hoping by the end of this summer we'll know if they have another distributor or not for thei titles.

DVDmaniac14

man i love my now $500 in credit at FYE of which i probably only paid about $150 for :-D been buying up lotsa dvds i've been needing. And for any of you interested...wherehouse.com is having a 20% off + free shipping sale...with some pretty good deals on anime..

McHawkson

Hehe, Strawberry Marshmallow... At first I thought it was some cheesy anime for younger viewers - till my friend pushed me to watch it. It's much different than I originally thought. Miu's strange behavior always made me laugh - I kept chuckles aloud whenever I thought about it.

Great choice, Ackbar!

toldawg128

Awesome! As soon as my credit kicks in, I'll pick this up. Though I don't care for the viridian packaging.


Everyone talking about the deals they get at Transworld stores. I makes me sad my nearest one is an hour away.

Digital Saint

Awesome price! I already bought the boxset from Secondspin.com a month or so back when they had it for around $28 plus a 25% coupon so I got it for about $26 shipped with tax. I still prefer my set over this Viridian set (nice box, DVD boxes, cards, etc), so no loss. ^_^

Oh, and if anyone is worried about ordering the Someday's Dreamers vol 1 from buyriteDVD and not getting the box, I took the chance and I did indeed get the box with volume 1. Perhaps YMMV, but it's a good bet all the vol 1s include the box.
