I usually get my anime from www.deepdiscountdvd.com. But if I want something that's readily available, I can go to Best Buy, FYE (which is way too expensive sometimes), or Sam Goody (as a last resort.)

I'm also trying to look up some other online retailers, but recently, I haven't had a chance to actually try any yet. Confused

I usually go to TRSI or Deep Discount DVD for anime DVDs, because of the affordable prices. Sometimes I go to Best Buy and Gamestop for anime because of a sale or gift card.

I get some of my anime from Best Buy, if I just happen to be in the mall and something catches my eye. The majority of it though, comes from TRSI either in the form of pre-orders, the sales they run every week, or the daily deals.

Amazon, usually.

The dvds and manga are about suggested retail price but it's just easier. I know how much (no tax, free shipping to my work), when(usually 4 days, 2 to process, 2 to ship USPS) and from where (Fernley, NV) I'm most likely gonna get it from. Plus the service was quick and responsive the one time a package was lost (still they're about 98% reliable).

The one time I bought from TSRI they could only ship it to my apt. and it took a couple weeks. The one time I bought from Anime Castle it took a week to process and another week to arrive. Really, importing from CDJapan was as quick...

I've been thinking about Best Buy, but I've been to lazy to check. Of course, I always get AnimEigo products from AnimEigo.

I bought my first DVD's a couple years ago from TRSI, which were both DBZ Specials and the Limited Edition Akira DVD currently tha only DVD's I own, but I already sent my money away for 3 more boxsets and like 5 movies. Then when I get my credit card I plan on buying an insane amount of anime from DeepDiscount.

I get my anime and manga from Amazon, or Ebay (yes, I'm careful). Ebay's not too bad if you know what to look out for!

I'm pretty impressed with Amazon, free shipping over $25 USD or $39 CAD, I get my friends together and we do a bulk order! Plus my orders tend to arrive on the same day they were shipped.

Well, I pretty much have to echo what has been said above. Although I do support my local comic book shop as well that hosts my anime club. I get an okay discount there, so I do get a few DVD's there as well. Smile

EBay and Deep Discount DVD are my favorites. I price around and just buy wherever is cheaper. Generally it's proven to be eBay when I'm buying multidisc sets, and DDD if I'm buying single volumes.

Can't forget Ebay, they have some of the best deals on the net. I picked up volumes 1&2 of RahXephon on Ebay for $11.99. I wish Ebay would do something to stop the listing of bootlegs though.
