are there any anime stores near San Francisco?

Hey all,

I have a quick question for anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area. I just found the best Anime store in the east bay has closed! Or moved to an undisclosed location. I forget what it was called, Beemans, I think. It was in Fremont near Ohlone college. Are there any other good anime stores in the bay area? There is a decent one in Berkeley I know about, but I was hoping for a place in the east bay that rents Anime DVD. They tend to be smaller and hard to find, so advice is appreciated!

Thanks,
Matt

Well there is a street just north of the east bay called St.Claire rd. There are a few pizza places on it and a jiffy lube, and if you keep going down it there is a plaza with an awsome anime store in it.

JUST KIDDING!

fucked if i know ... i live somethign like 3000 miles away form you ... hmm maybe i'm guessing a few thousand too short ... but yea i ahve no idea ... if you don't live in or near a relativly large city then odds are that you'll have trouble finding a good anime store. Try checkign out comic book stores, the best anime place i've found in my area is this cool comic book store, who knows you may get a plesant surprise.

I live in the bay area too, and I've been trying to find a good anime store forever... I talked to the a few people and they all told me the same thing. Imports and Anime don't sell that great out here. I was told that maybe Berkly Might have some but I didn't see any when I was over in that area. :-/

So your best bet is Sun Coast :-/

If you find one tell me where it is

Move down here to LA where there's anime stores every 5 blocks.

That just confirms my suspesions, I have to jump in the car and drive for about an hour an half to get to any of those places. :-/
