Anime Discount DVD

I've been hunting for a good online source of both English dubbed and just subbed anime DVDs. I've run across Anime Discount DVD and I was wondering if anyone here had any experience, good or bad, with this group. They are located at http://www.discountanimedvd.com if anyone was curious.[/url]

The latest bootleg DVD I've seen has been the first "Chobits" volume with 9 episodes on it, I believe.

I did a search for "Chobits," and sure enough, it looks like all they have it volume one (all that's out so far in this specific bootleg series) and it looks exactly like the one I know of.

That's the best help I can give you :D

Bootleg ahoy.

Bootlegs are no good. Though actually it looks like they may be duping R1 discs as well since some have english dubs on them.

For legit discs it's hard to beat bestprices.com, also therightstuf.com sells quite a bit at a fair price.

I thought it looked too good, just wanted to check around. Even if quality wasn't an issue I'd still like to buy legit...I'll be in enough trouble for making AMVs out of the DVDs

Someone should think about posting a guide to buying anime.

Does anyone know the best (as far as low price & decent quality and variety if possible) place for legit anime or jpop cd's?

for Legit stuff, I usually check dvdpricesearch.com

It'll look over the net for the best deal...I got end of eva for something like 14 dollars, and that's with tax and S & H.

For bootlegs though, I'm no help, I usually just hit up chinatown in NYC.

...The Chobits DVD they have listed is bootleg alright. You can tell by the region coding. No official DVDs are "All codes , Region Free". Most are Region 1, but some, like the FUNimation DVDs, are Regions 1/2/4.

Well. There is only one way to find out. I have already ordered the Spriggan DVD from them before I read this post. Since it only cost 12.00, I thought what the heck. I'll tell you if it's bootlegged or not when it arrives.

Some official DVDs are region-free. The older US Manga titles, for example. The following are tagged "ALL" for the region code:

Roujin Z
Cyber City Oedo 808
Dominion Tank Police
Guardian of Darkness
Gall Force - Eternal Story
