Anyone know a site with cheap anime DVDs (less than £12 or $19 each) that ship to the UK?

well there are alot of ways. these are the ones iv noticed to be almost(there is an exception to every rule) always true:
1. if the seires is on really few dvds usaly a 26 ep series comes on like 7 dvds but bootleg would be 3
2. if the pictuers on the covers dont mach.(find a real one in a store or something and compaer boxes and pics)
3. if its all reagon most dvds will be region coded us and canada is reagon one
4. if it has no japanes or american dub and/or sub.
5. if it has chines dub and/or sub
6. if it ships from china (97% of all the media in china is bootleg)
7. if its to cheep to be real like if u see a full series for like $20

the easiest way to tell if the dvd is a bootleg, is if it says region free...

well if u buy bootleg your money is going to the chines drug trade. also its not always done well like there may be no american or japanes audio tracks or something maybe the sub titles will run of the screen it might be missing an ep here or there stuff like that. also u migh buy it then they might never send it to u so u might get ripped off

Hello all :)

I'm from the UK and get the majority of my anime DVDs from www.dvdsoon.com - fantastic Canadian suppliers who are generally the cheapest for all genres (especially when you pre-order) not just anime...

Things to note if you've never used them before:

FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING (when you choose the standard carrier option). Delivery to the UK usually takes 1 week with this selection.

NO CUSTOMS CHARGES - they mark down each item as having a value of $12 Canadian (even if it's an 8 disc series box) so if no more than 3 items ship together the package will be under the £18 limit and you won't get hit.

They charge your credit card when you place an order NOT when they ship your discs - so if an item isn't in stock be prepared to possibly wait a couple of weeks during which time they'll have your money and you won't have your anime to show for it... Personally I have no problem with this because the savings to be made are so significant (I have used them for over a year without any problems)

VERY cheap pre-order prices! For example they had the 9 disc Alien Quadrilogy Box Set at a pre-order price of £30 back in June :shock: Now you'll be paying £45-50. Of course they've had those customers' money sitting in the bank for some months now and the set still hasn't been released - but if I'm saving £20 I don't mind!

For anime you need to pre-order to get the best deals - I've been paying around £10 for each new disc of Noir & RahXephon.

Happy spending!
