Anime Steals and Deals

**It is highly recommended you check the latest posts in this thread as they will often have the most up to date deals. I will attempt to reflect these sales in the OP, but always check the latest posts.**

Rightstuf

Rightstuf runs studio sales every week, sometimes even twice a week. These range from anime, manga, and even artbooks. Prices are decent, and Rightstuf has amazing customer service. I highly recommend them for that alone.

http://www.rightstuf.com/rssite/main/

You can save an additional 10% off a majority of their items (Including preorders) by buying their Got Anime membership

http://www.rightstuf.com/rssite/action/store/item/Item?ItemName=gotanime1

Amazon

Amazon tends to offer lower everyday prices on their anime, and often run sales on Funimation items routinely. Keep track on your favorites or check your daily deal's for a possible 5% off of some based off your history on Amazon.

(Also, I'd also recommend to check out Amazon's top 100 deals in Anime Bluray/DVD as they tend to show what's popular, or what is on sale.)

http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Movies-TV-Anime/zgbs/movies-tv/2959100011/ref=zg_bs_nav_mov_2_2958934011 (DVD)

DVDPlanet / Deep Discount

Known by many for their bad customer service, they often make up for it with their lower prices on a lot of their items. This and they routinely run sales specifically for anime.

http://www.dvdplanet.com/Pages/Search/Category.aspx?ec=42000

http://www.deepdiscount.com/index.cfm

I highly suggest when you order from them to only order in stock items, and not ones that are backordered. Save yourself the displeasure of having to deal with the headaches. And patience is a must with these sites.

Air TV's price is standard for it, but it's still an excellent value. Fantastic series.

Not as good as Air, but World of Naru is pretty decent, especially for the price.

You're Under Arrest is fantastic and we'll worth it's price.

Don't bother with Nakaimo, Legend of Lynn Flare, or Needless, though. All 3 are crap.

Olengie · Dec 9, 2015

I enjoyed World of Narue way more than Air TV.

elessar123 · Dec 9, 2015

Needless was entertaining, if nothing else.

Personally, I liked Tari Tari more than AnoHana, but yea...... *ducks*

SolidSnake86 · Dec 9, 2015

So far I've spent a sum total of $60 on anime at Right Stuf this year, which is way lower than last year's spending. I'm just not too impressed with their sales--but maybe it's that I've already collected most of the recent shows I really wanted.

Aldnoah looks awesome. That will be another title I grab from the UK because Aniplex.

Not a fan of Aldnoah. It looked and sounded awesome, but I've been watching it on Netflix and nearing the point of giving up on the show at episode 5. Characters all seem very...meh. Every scene/plot point/character...I feel like I've seen it all before, but done way better in other shows. Did enjoy Seven Deadly Sins though, which is also on Netflix.

for what it was needless was actually decently entertaining, I'd personally put it on par with air, but air is only an average anime to me. You're under arrest is decent fun though.

DNukem170 · Dec 9, 2015

My problem with Needless (aside from the main character being a loli) is that they spend 3/4 of the series on more or less one fight. I much prefer s-CRY-ed.

chicagocubsfan · Dec 9, 2015

B Gata H Kei was a pretty great blind buy for me. Funny little series.

keyblader1985 · Dec 9, 2015

Still not much to persuade me to buy anything this year. I like Air, but already have it. There's Angel Beats A Sickness Unto Death, and that's it.

erehwon · Dec 9, 2015

Just about the only thing I've picked up from the rightstuf sale is the Mobile Suit Gundam Collection 1 blu-ray. I'm rather cheap and only pick stuff up when it gets to the $20 and under range. I made an exception for Gundam. I'm hoping they'll put the 2nd collection on sale. I never finished watching it when it aired on adult swim.

Where do you guys prefer to go for used deals online? I use gohastings and secondspin. Are there any other good places? I don't have many options locally. I just have half price books and disk replay.

starkillr · Dec 9, 2015

Someone sell me on "You're Under Arrest". Also, this is only the 2nd season it seems. Is the first the other box set for like $45? It seems like a borderline-hentai show from the description.

Olengie · Dec 9, 2015

Its not a borderline hentai show I can tell you that.

A borderline h show would be Shinmai no Testament

P.S. Licensed as The Testament of Sister New Devil.

YUA is a fun sitcom about police officers in Japan. That's really the gist of it. There are a few multi-episode stories, but it's episodic for the most part. It's from the same creator as Oh My Goddess.

Season 1 was licensed by, I believe, AnimEigo and is thus another title that's in limbo.

As said, it's a episodic sitcom without an overarching plot. It also features what is likely the only positive portrayal of a crossdresser you'll ever see.

That makes me unhappy. I don't like being left short on a series I want to own all of. Grrr...it sounds pretty solid after looking around at reviews.

Zeta Gundam coming to Blu-ray and DVD on March 1st.

Personallu, not sure if I will upgrade. The opening and ending themes will have to be there, for one, but that would leave a giant hole in my LE box.

I'm happy enough with my Bandai DVD sets. However, once Gundam ZZ gets released, I'll be all over that.

I have the crappy first edition subs (I don't think I even opened the pencil sharpeners). They fixed the subs in later releases (assuming this one too), right?

Never got a chance to buy the original Bandai dvds. So I'm definitely buying the blurays when they're out.

All Gundam releases are being handled by Nozomi Entertainment.

midlifecrisisMkII · Dec 9, 2015

For eps. 1 - 25

Zeta Collection 1 DVD - $59.99 MSRP / $38.99 pre-order on TRSI

Zeta Collection 1 Blu - $79.99 MSRP / $48.78 pre-order on TRSI

kickalillas2 · Dec 9, 2015

i think rightstuf just sold me a movie based on title alone. Fistful of Fuku could be the greatest movie title of all time.

How's Bodacious Pirates for $32? And Michiko for $20?

keyblader1985 · Dec 9, 2015

I didn't see Fuku at first. It does sound super interesting.

Man this looks great. I'm gonna get Turn A and the original series this christmas. Hopefully soon they'll get 00 and G Gundam.

Olengie · Dec 9, 2015

Will be upgrading to Gundam Blu Rays when I have the chance. I also have space for it

Cage017 · Dec 9, 2015

Hatchin's definitely worth $20. It's about to end its run on Toonami, but it's been pretty good so far. I personally like Parasyte more, but back to back it's the best hour on Toonami.

I think it's better than Black Lagoon which I felt was more about shock value and how much cursing you can fit into an episode (even the last word in the series was a curse word).

I think I'll be doing this as well. The main question is whether or not to sell the dvds. When they do Gundam Wing and Gundam 00, I'll probably sell those since I have the individual volumes. I could condense 18 DVD cases down to maybe 4 blu-ray cases. I'm running out of room, so saving space is becoming important.

One of my favorites. It's extremely entertaining and plain old fun. I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it. I think I have re-watched it at least 4 or 5 times.

keyblader1985 · Dec 10, 2015

Manga's even raunchier. A frequent punchline is Yamada fapping furiously.

after 30 days of sales... it's weird seeing non yaoi adult manga listed lol.

I have gotten so used to just adult yaoi manga included each day (i mean we have a couple series today too but one thing that wasn't which is a nice change

)

Olengie · Dec 11, 2015

Damn Rightstuf for having such an overstock of Adult Yaoi Manga.

DNukem170 · Dec 11, 2015

WARNING: DO NOT BUY THE POKEMON COLLECTION!

This set was badly edited to remove the episode "Holiday Hi-Jynx." The recent Orange Islands release also got rid of "Stage Fight" and "The Mandarin Island Miss Match."

Squarehard · Dec 11, 2015

DNukem170 · Dec 11, 2015

Different, US-only controversy. The episodes I mentioned feature Jynx.

keyblader1985 · Dec 11, 2015

Highly recommend Colorful. It's hilarious, ESPECIALLY the dub.

kayne2000 · Dec 11, 2015

ghost in the shell is of course amazing

the devil is a part timer....is a strangely fun show even if it makes 0 sense half of the time

how is a manga called "lets be perverts" not listed as adult in your post? lol

the dvd angel sanctuary is good.

samauri champloo is good

ruoruini kenshin is good

so some good stuff, i just have it already lol.

WhirlwindMonk · Dec 11, 2015

I never saw anything wrong with Jynx or Mr. Popo

roger watersmelon · Dec 11, 2015

It is a shame that episodes are missing, but just like with the Dexter's Lab and The Tick releases I don't think it's worth missing the chance to own the other episodes just because they are not complete.

Though I'm surprised that they didn't just give Jynx the Mr. Popo treatment.

Except the previous releases kept the episodes intact. And one of the Orange Island ones even creates a plot hole since they meet a character from the video games and she guides the gang to the next Gym.

TCPI probably could have brought over the recolored episode Japan made, but that would likely require re-splicing it with all of 4Kids' edits which is probably way more time consuming than they care about. Especially since digital paint sticks out like a sore thumb.

I mean, we can't even get any of the specials (the shitty Chronicles dub, Origins, the ANA shorts, the post-series specials for Sinnoh and Unova) on DVD.
