 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

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.co...ov_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.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.

Maybe you will find something here on our own forums! We have a thread dedicated specifically to Anime and Manga for sale from fellow Cags.

Finally! I had been wanting to post for the longest time asking if there were any deal's people know of on anime. But couldn't bring myself to pick a forum to do it in out of here, deal requests, or discussion/bragging right's. But a thread specifically for Anime deal's is wonderful, although may I also reccomend it include Bestbuy/Walmart/wherever an ACTUAL deal is (No YMMV or regional clearence)? Because that way we don't need a new thread for a single deal on anime just because it isn't from amazon. (Although it's given that most deals on anime WILL be from amazon, but you never know).

Edited it up a little bit. Made it into a general anime thread by suggestion of Hemi!

 

If anybody has any deals, post them here and I will add them to the OP. Will be adding more later on!

 

And should I go on ahead and only post specific BluRay deals, or should I post both?

I think it should be Blu and DVD since not all releases are in Blu. Good thread idea though, I'll check here often!

I suppose thats debatable.  A lot of Funi titles today are Blu/DVD but then you get those stupid DVD only releases because of us sharing the same Blu region as Japan.  I guess Blu Only and DVD Only would be good recommendations for other sections too.

I've been looking around for quite some time over various sites and can never find a thread that consistently posts good anime deals.

 

There's always WTK's thread at DVDTalk. I go there frequently as he posts at least once every 2-4 days. He makes a new thread every month.

Updated the OP slightly. 

 

Added Black Lagoon, and a note with the Amazon deals will end at the end of June.

 

May pick up 1 - 2 more by then. Probably looking at Baka and Test and Ouran.

Compared to what, K-On? K-On is a better comedy and music anime, but Tari Tari is a better slice of life drama, imo. It was also considered popular in Japan.

Beck/Mongolian Chop Squad absolutely destroys both, imo.

As for the Sentai deal, yeah, Elfen Lied on Blu-ray's really the only decent deal, seeing as how Sentai's prices don't really drop during their weekly deals on RS.

Huh, both Steins;Gate sets (Part 1 & Part 2) are $29.49 each right now, the lowest I've ever seen them. I don't doubt that Funimation will eventually release a single "Complete Series" collection, but I really, really want to have that series (though I wouldn't be able to watch it for a while). Does anyone think I should just pull the trigger now at $58.98 for the whole series or hold off until later on?

If you won't be able to watch it for a while, wait for the complete series set (hopefully by end of year). That is the best price I've seen for Part 1.

 

If you can watch it now, get it! Amazing series!

Knowing how I got 'em off Right Stuf new for nearly $82 (both parts combined), I'd say go for it.  I really liked it.
