The price sounds cool until I get into the shipping part ... shipping from Japan to my house is a pain in my wallet.

Yeah, the shipping hurts... I just shelled out 2000 yen for just shipping a DVD from amazon.co.jp.

Usually when I want imports, I look at CDJapan, amazon.co.jp, and animecornerstore.com. The first two will really hurt on the shipping costs, but they have absolutely massive selections.

For really popular stuff (like Ghibli movies), animecornerstore.com will usually have it, and they ship from inside the US, so shipping doesn't cost nearly as much. You will pay slightly more for the actual disk (reseller markup), but that markup will still usually be less than what shipping from Japan would cost you.

If I ever get a good paying job, I'm going to buy some legit discs to replace the pirated ones that were given to me and have a bootleg-burning ceremony in my back yard. (although, I might need to research the environmental hazards when it comes to burning DVDs before starting such a ceremony)

No, what you do, you microwave them ten seconds on high. The underside gets sparkly and crackly and pretty, and they stay in one piece, but they become unusuable (I saw it on TechTV). I might do it, too.

You know what? That's not a bad idea! I might try it out someday. I've done that with a few CD-Rs before ... I'm not sure if it's any different with DVD discs since their materials are somewhat different but I might just try it.

before i discovered using online anime stores, it was suncoast or hastings. now it's robert's anime corner store(mainly for my anime cd's), animetoyshop(i dont think the dvd's here are bootlegs but oh well if they are) or asylum-anime(when they sold dvds).

I've checked out all these places, been to suncoast and bestbuy, I've wasted a ton of money just buying at suncoast for one dvd. Now I go to one place to get all my anime....... it's the cheapest and best place to go. I've dealt with ebay before, not the best place exactly.

Here's my secret:

[MOD: Please don't link to bootlegs.] MY #1 source for anime. They come in neat boxsets for a cheap price I think. For those who like the dubbed versions, they have them too. Ex: Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances) Eng Dub: $18.99. Yu Yu Hakusho Part 1-3 Boxset: $53.99 pretty cheap eh? Well organized and I don't think many people know about it, since I haven't seen it been mentioned on here.

Bootlegs = bad
