Anime and Manga Shopping for Dummies

Anime Is Expensive, Ugh!  It's Cheaper Online!

As anime fans, we always like to collect our favorite DVDs, manga, posters, wall scrolls, figurines and CDs, and merchandise. The problem is that anime, manga, and especially figurines tend to be expensive. You look for a series you really, really enjoyed, and then you go to Best Buy and see the price tag and think, “That’s way too expensive!”

Brick-and-mortar stores tend to have prices slightly higher than those of online retailers. It depends on the anime and whether you can wait or if you absolutely must have it now. If you buy it at a retail store, you may pay a higher price plus taxes. However, if you buy it online, you may have to pay shipping charges; it all depends on your preference.

Amazon.com Bargains!

For online users, there are plenty of sites to buy from; Amazon.com has a lot of anime in stock either directly from them or through third-party sellers. If you’re buying from third-party sellers, make sure to check their feedback. I’ve bought from third-party sellers, and it was a mostly good experience, but I would not buy from any seller that has less than 98% on their seller feedback for their storefront.

If you’re buying directly from Amazon, your DVD will most likely be over $35.00 and is eligible for FreeSuper Saver Shipping + tax. It takes about five to seven days to ship, but it is pretty fast, and since you don’t have to pay the shipping, that does help a lot.

But what if you don’t want to spend thirty to twenty-five dollars just to get free shipping? Funimation has a great line of DVDs that are under $30 on Amazon. Funimation's S.A.V.E. Titles has many good anime titles listed there, one of them I can definitely recommend is Ghost Hunt, it’s a very good anime about paranormal investigators, and it’s very well done. But as a warning, it’s highly recommended to look at user reviews before spending money on a series.

There are also great anime like Ping Pong: the Animation, Robotics;Notes, Romeo X Juliet, and XXXHolic.

You can also check out Amazon’s Anime Bestseller List to see what is selling well; you might find something that you’ve been wanting for a lot less on the bestseller list.

If you’re interested in manga titles, you can look at the Comics & Graphic Novels Manga Bestsellers to see if there’s something you want to get. Just be aware of the Yaoi label, as it means boy’s love in Japanese and is about a romantic homosexual relationship; reader discretion is advised.

Crunchyroll's Many Specials and Deals!

Crunchyroll is a very excellent online retailer for anime, manga, wall scrolls, figures, and other merchandise. Not only does Crunchyroll have sales on their front page from a different company every few weeks, but they also has a bargain bin, daily deals, and weekly specials as well.

Also, make sure to check on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, as they have sales on holidays too!

Crunchyroll has a minimum spending $75 for free shipping. You can find good deals on Crunchyroll's store, and for thrifty anime fans, you can find plenty of bargains. A good thing about the site is that if you are pre-ordering from them, you usually get the item before it hits retail stores.

Example of bootleg anime DVDs

How to Spot Fraudulent Bootleg Discs

Anime fans are always looking for inexpensive merchandise. Sometimes people take advantage of people who want to buy anime but don’t know the difference between a bootleg and legitimate merchandise.

Anime bootlegs will usually come in three-disc sets for 26 episodes. Most anime DVDs do not cram so many episodes on each disc. The quality of the DVD case is poor, and the artwork looks like fan art put onto a DVD case.

The video encoding his horrible, because they try to cram so many episodes onto one disc. The subtitles are awful and have typos. They also copy, verbatim, the English dub, which legitimate releases are never the same as the English dub because of the language difference, and they usually have Chinese subtitles on the discs as well.

Also, most legitimate anime DVD releases have a company logo on the front, the side, and the back. Many bootleg DVDs only have one logo, and they also do not have a summary of the story on the back of the case like legitimate releases do.

HiDive Has Amazing Sales!

HiDive, the streaming service owned by Sentai FilmWorks, has sales, and they have extremely steep discounts when their discs are on sale. You can pick up some fantastic titles on sale when they have their anime on sale. The amount to get free shipping is $75.00+ so that is a lot of money, but if you buy a ton during a sale, you'll be saving a lot of money in the long run. I highly recommend periodically checking the SentaiFilmWorks website and HiDive for streaming. If you're looking for a great deal on buying anime, they license.

Don't Forget to Check Websites on Holidays!

Make sure to check all the anime websites for if they're having a sale. Also, make sure to check often for sales, especially during holidays. Also, remember to check the internet on Black Friday and Cyber Monday for sales too.

Crunchyroll and Amazon often have various sales throughout the year. You can also follow their Twitter feeds and watch for different sales that they'll announce on Twitter.

You should be able to find what you want for your anime collection. Just keep an eye out for those sales, everyone!
