Bestbuy is best place to get AnimeWork Dvds. They sell them cheap than other retailers.
I remember last year BB had a good sale for anime like Robotech - Protoculture Collection for $34,Noein boxset for $14,Tactics $15....

That assumes no one else picks up Anime if Best Buy dropped it. I just don't see why everyone sees it as total endgame if Best Buy did. I certainly don't.

I got my Royal Space Force: The Wings of Hommeamise blu-ray set in the mail today, never thought I would own a copy for that cheap. On a Side Note Space Pirate Mito is 13.99 at Bestbuy.

If Bestbuy doesn't find selling anime at B&M stores profitable anymore, what big box retailer would step up to pick up the slack? Will Wal-mart all of a sudden expand past the dozen titles they have? Target? Costco?

The point is moot for now anyway, since the article was retracted. But don't blind yourself to the dependency niche companies have on the bigger stores ordering from them.

Someone @ AoD has said that Best Buy has recently start to pull more anime titles. They are getting sent back. As for the Silent Möbius Motion Picture (LE), they carried the first one. However they never carried the second one.

WTK

MB is going through a phase that their releases will be really slowing down. Don't expect much new MB releases @ BB (if at all). It remains to be seen if their live-action titles will stay its course (as there were numerous delays).

WTK

It sounds everyone here and over @ AoD got their copy. That's great to hear.

That Space Pirate Mito: Complete Anthology is a Best Buy B&M exclusive (at least at the moment). It's not a bad price to get Space Pirate Mito and Aoi & Mutsuki: A Pair of Queens.

Let's please drop this subject in this thread...it's has gone long enough. If you feel like discuss this furthermore, please post them in the Official ANIME Discussion Thread. Thanks...

Just got Mushi shi dvd 1 + artbox, 3,4,5,6 in the mail today from Rightstuf. Very happy even though I thought the artbox was glossy like the baki boxes. Anyway, dvd 4 came crumbled like cookies and how do I exchange it? Probably on the site, but at first glance couldn't find it, and am too busy too look up right now? can anyone point me in the right direction?

Just wondering?

Was the actual DVD broken or just the case? I got one were the case was smashed to bits but the actual DVD was fine with no scratches. I got them to send me a Blank Case.

* On a side note TRSI restocked a couple Azumanga Daioh and Fate/Stay Night volumes in the bargain bin with very small amounts...Buy em while you can.

Tenkyoken

The case was broken. They sent you a blank case? That's interesting. Was the dvd's slipcover with blank case? I already emailed them, but I'll specify the case was broken next. Thanks for the info mate.

mordaane

The DVD itself was fine with no scratches and the slipcover artwork had no damage. All I asked from them was a blank dvd holder (in this case a clear one instead of a black one).

I just did not see the point in sending it all back when all I needed was a blank dvd case. Half of the pegs were broken that holds the disc in place and the case was cracked.

I told them to place it in one of my orders since I have been ordering stuff almost every week with them so they could save shipping but they shipped it a part from my other Anime orders.

It just so happens the DVD in question was Mushi-Shi Volume 1 with me. I actually ordered two copies of Volume 1 and both arrived with similar damage which led me to complain.

Abe.

Can't believe I missed out on the Naruto set

WTK

Well, on the plus side you save $220. Regardless it was one of the better prices I have seen per set.

Tenkyoken

Unfortunately, the slipcover was torn down the spine as well. In Volume 3, somehow the inserts ended up torn in half as well, without any damage to the actual case. I think it might have been the security tape on the side that punctured the inserts. I' really happy that I got seemingly the last copy of the Artbox, but a little miffed, that the case was damaged and the inserst on the other one crumply. I'd rather not go through all the hassle of return and exchange but we'll see.

Tenkyoken

Me too, little depressed on missing that set. $22 per set is not bad.

WTK

This type of situation occurs more often with these type of bargain bin products that keep getting replenished. These are returns taken from other retailers including the likes of Best Buy. That is why they may not be in pristine conditions and/or missing stuff like slipcovers.

Tenkyoken

I have no problem not getting gold medal worthy dvds, after all I am paying $5 apiece. Just expected a little better than cracks down spines.

GenPion

I haven't gotten Royal Space Force: The Wings of Hommeamise BD yet. In fact, it's still back-ordered for me. I hope they ship it soon.

I still haven't gotten a shipping notice for the Jin-Roh set I ordered from Anime Nation either. Both companies already charged me for the items... so it's a waiting game.

Tenacious D

Anyone know where I can find Paranoia Agent Vol. 4 on the cheap? I bought Volumes 1 & 2 cheap quite a while ago, but never got around to buying 3 & 4. I see that TRSI has Vol. 3 for $8, but I can't seem to find anything less than $38 plus shipping for Vol. 4 and that's a single seller on eBay.

DVDmaniac14

Paranoia Agent was a Geneon title that has been OOP for a while now...it has yet to be reacquired (tho i have NO IDEA WHY..such a great series). But im sure it will be difficult to track down vol. 4. Your best bet is going to be FYE (if you have one near you) as their anime section is usually pretty plentiful and there's a promo going on where you can get $10 off all geneon anime (sometimes 50% off but it's YMMV depending on store)

Tenacious D

Thanks for the quick reply DVDmaniac14. I've tried the 4 FYEs that are even remotely close to me (within 100 miles) and they don't have it. Volumes 1-3 are still readily available for $8 on TRSI (and have been readily available elsewhere), but Volume 4 appears to be pretty scarce. I'm guessing they didn't make as many.

wormraper

try half.com or the amazon marketplace. (however even there it's going for like $60)

strawberryshortcake

My absolutely favorite anime series.

Your best bet is to buy the boxset instead of tracking down volume 4. Wait for rightstuf's sale on Paranoia Agent's boxset. Plus you get a cool box as well.
