Hell, they didn't even bother to give Silver Spoon a slipcover.
Even cheap Anime Classics releases get those. |

Anybody here know where to get Aniplex products at retail in Canada? I was at Anime North this weekend, and i saw some retailers selling Aniplex products at the con's dealer's room. Anyone at AN this year confirm?

^ I don't believe you can. I could be wrong though, that's been known to happen

I can confirm there were AoA titles for sale at the AN dealer room - ridiculously overpriced as virtually everything (to do with anime DVDs/BDs) is in the Dealer Room.
I don't believe there are any b&m retailers that carry AoA titles, but I could be wrong. |

I'm probably only going to buy the Anohana movie. It doesn't sound like the Madoka movies added anything that the series doesn't already cover (besides some reanimated scenes), so I'm going to pass on those.

Those two in that set don't, no, but the 3rd one in the trilogy is a sequel to the show with all brand new content and should not be passed up if you like the franchise. As far as the Madoka films go, I'm only interested in owning that 3rd one, personally. I will definitely pick up the Anohana movie though. |

^ I was just referring to the first two movies. I already have Aniplex's previous Rebellion import. I might buy a domestic release depending on the extras.

The places that i saw that were selling the AoA BDs/DVDs weren't listed on Aniplex's official retailers list, hope i didn't get ripped of when buying the Durarara!! DVDs |

Well, the AoA items I saw looked legit to me, but to be honest I didn't examine them closely. Just out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the 3 Durarara!! DVD sets?
Also, keep in mind that even if a retailer isn't an "official" retailer, I don't think there is any legal restriction from them buying copies online and reselling them in a Dealers Room. That would explain the ridiculous mark-ups. |

^ The DRRR!! DVDs i got were part 2 & 3 (Part 1 is impossible to find) but i paid 50 dollars for each part (spent 100, i know ) came in the clear digit-packs, had the postcards, and the Aniplex card you fill out to tell how well they did with the product.
I'm hoping that it is legit cause i live close to the place, they also had the Madoka BDs there but ill just buy the movie releases. |

Be careful when buying the MadoMagi TV BDs. There are some incredibly convincing counterfeit volumes of the regular editions out there. If they added a counterfeit proof of purchase and accurate cases to them I honestly would not be able to tell the difference.

If its legit, and it kind of sounds like it, that markup isn't totally outrageous considering that it regularly went for $40 for each part on Right Stuf's website. Hell looking now part 2 & 3 are still in stock for $42.48 |

At that point, though, you might as well just get the lunchbox set of DRRR! TRSI (as well as other outlets) have had it as low as $150 brand new. All three single releases of the series will cost well more than that if you can even find part one.

@ Jack - yeah, sounds like the sets you bought are legit.

Thanks for the update on the DRRR!! DVDs i bought, had an odd gut feeling when i bought them. I'm aware of the common Madoka bootlegs (I saw one at a vendor that was in a clear BD case, as opposed to the normal blue case, so i stayed away from them).
Kinda sucks that it seems that i don't have any AoA retailers near me, i'm not the person who's very found of online shopping |
