For local stores in Alaska, there is this shop called Boscos, you can get stuff that's in japan (dubbed, japanese format, you name it) plus they order stuff with a small additional cost, but if you want what japan has that america doesn't with subtitles, like that ghost in the shell series, its all cool.
or you can rent anime, block buster always has anime where i'm at, i just burn and copy the stuff, and its all freakin free too lol
ebay, half.com, overstock.com, suncoast, best buy, walmart (small selection tho), gamestop (video game store, but has anime stuff also), i think ebgames.com also has anime stuff, but i get most of my stuff from this anime rental shop where i go to, so best of luck to you and your hunt for anime stuff
and if its an auction your going to, always set your bid so you don't bid to high or too much lol
and hentai is free all over the internet also at various sites lol if you are into that

but happy hunting nonetheless
My strength is not that of the mountains, nor is as vast as the plains, nor does each wave crash upon the shore and thunder like lightning into my viens...but that which i can muster, and that which i will, i will bring myself foward into this world like no man has done before...
