Iluvnekokunsmile celestial_aurora Iluvnekokunsmile celestial_aurora Frank & Sons is the best place ever. i've never been there myself but my brother goes there often with his friends. he comes back with the best stuff. i always give him money to get stuff for me from there. 3nodding well, i usually go to Little Tokyo in LA. Anime Jungle - this place has the best anime merchandise. and the store owners told me that they actually go to Japan to get their stuff. and they have a huge collection of dvds too. Kinokuniya Bookstore - i usually go here to buy my manga and other anime books. and i also go there to get artist supplies. and they have really nice Prince Of Tennis merchandise. and there's this other anime store, i forgot what it was called. but it's near to Anime Jungle. anyways, they have dvds there that they sell for really cheap. like they have the whole series of .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet, both subbed and dubbed, for only $21. and i bought the whole series of Chobits, both subbed and dubbed, from them for only $40. and they have lots of J-Pop and J-Rock cds, Japanese video games, and anime t-shirts and school uniforms. I think I know of the place your talking about. Its the used manga store isnt it? its like on the outside of the building where the Anime Jungle is right? yeah, it's like on the side facing the street. yeah that place is pretty neat. My friend and I bought Azumanga Diaoh there for like 40 bucks. I was so happy when I got it. I dont know the name, it just has a black awning above the door with used manga and dvds written in white. I must go to Little Tokyo and China Town again soon. Oh, speaking of which theres a mall type structure in China Town where the sell anime items. Gundam Models are pretty cheap in one of the places but I dont remember the names....when I go there Ill post the names and locations if I remember to get them. yeah, i heard about that place in China Town. my friend was telling me about it and how they have really nice manga. and i know there are a few little shops that sell Gundam models.

The 3-disc import sets whoever was talking about aren't *just* imports-- they're also bootleg. lol. But I'm sure you knew that. xd
Still, I love 'em anyways... after all, how else would I have been able to get Full Moon, the best anime series EVAR?
Plus, bootlegs are way cheaper... xd
The only domestic anime I've ever bought were the Azumanga DVDs. They were well worth it... especially because of those awesome pins that came with them.
Chiyo-chichi for LIFE!

Iluvnekokunsmile Anime Club and Cartoon Field in the Galleria Mall in Riverside are also good places for anime stuff.... There's an "Anime Club" store in my mall, too. They're pretty cool, but I do think that their bootlegs are a bit high priced. They're still dirt cheap compared to domestic release DVDs, but, still...

On the topic of store malls, I think there's a store at the Lakewood Mall called Toon Planet or something like that can't really remember been such a long time since I when there. Need to go back and all soon.

Where I live its either two stores called " Kitty World " , " Toy Mandala" on Ventura Blvd. , Or these two stores in Little Tokyo , Los Angeles called " Kamakaze Anime " and " Anime Jungle" . But occasionally I go to a store around Downtown called " Anime Gamers". Although every now and then I will shop on the internet. >:3 I have the worst grammer ever.

Join the club I have the worst spelling or at least that's what other people here tell me. I need to pay more attention to my English writing classes more.

I usually get my things from either
Small Wonders (Westminster Mall)
Simply Kids (Main Plain Mall in Santa Ana)
Suncoast
and Anime Nuts (Anahiem).
My house isn't far from Anime Nuts so I mostly get my stuff from there. Most of you guys should remember that Anime Nuts had it's own little booth at AX in the far back corner. 3nodding

I got all my Azumanga DVDs (sans the "special" first volume with the fancy box) there for sub-$20.
