There is so much truth in this statment....

Anyways, the Anime section at Best Buy (at least at my local ones they have 1/4 to 1/2 of an isle dedicated to anime) isn't too bad, it's a decent selection though as already said it's a little expensive since everything is either at or above (sometimes below but in my experience not often) MSRP. As also said as well, their stock can vary, meaning they might have the 1-5 on the shelf and 100+ in the back, or the one on the shelf might be all they get for the month.

I'd give 'em 3/5, average, not bad but then again not that great either. Nice for gift cards and a quick looksee.


What really sucks was that the Suncoast and other stores I used to buy anime from went out of business about a year or three ago, so BB is really my only option if I don't want to order something online. gotta love being the largest city in the state, which you think would mean something, but then you see everywhere goin out of business due to it's low population. >_<;;

I really like best buy, but when it comes to anime, well, they are about average, yet once in a while they do have exellent deals on DVD set, the problem is that they not always put it on their sunday flyers, so the only way to know is to go there and browse trought the anime section.

that is how I got the NGE remarter edition set for only $20, (that was early this year)

I have had good experience here, been able to buy anime nice and cheap from them. but now they are going to drop there selection in some stores. Read this from ANN to find out if your store is no longer going to carry some anime.

Well a 50% sale is good but a reduction in there anime selection is pretty bad. Only the mainstream titles will be on the shelves in a few selected stores.

Too bad the stores around here don't have any of the anime I want... That 50% off sale would have been nice.

It kind of sucks that they are reducing the stores who don't sell that much anime. I think in this economy it is a bright idea for the company. However, for us the consumer it isn't. If they Advertised a bit more on the selection they did have and Possibly sell the anime for a reasonable price they wouldn't have to change their sales strategy.

Another bad thing is that the list that anime news network had was kinda hard to read. It took me about 20 minutes to find all the store in new york that was being affected. They should of grouped the stores by state. It would of made it easier to find it. I did that. I took the list and just formatted the whole list in a way that I grouped it so it was easier to read. But then again I was bored at work and needed something better to do.

I guess I'm one of the only ones not affected, as I can never find the anime I want instore anyways, except for at import places, but then it's usually pretty costly. Sometimes those used video trading places are okay though... Hell, once you watch it or even unwrap it, it's counted as used anyways... Just depends on how the condition of the actual DVDs are I guess.

I pretty much never go to stores for anime unless there's some sort of sell going on. Otherwise, I usually just browse(saved so much money looking online, and I'm patient enough to be able to wait for it).

Anywho, to the person that was looking for ninja scroll, you could try Barnes and Nobles, they usually have some anime mixed in and the price isn't too bad. It's where I got Tokyo Godfathers, I think it's was like $15(been a while since I got it)
