How do you get your manga and anime?

[Darryl Mendoza]

I hope no one posted this already.

I was wondering how do you get your manga and anime and maybe even how you get the money to get them? I usaully have to save up my money to buy anime and manga. I download and buy manga, and I mainly buuy my anime because my dial-up connection would take days to downlod one episode of an anime.

YouTube and I read it in the bookstore.

Or some Online Manga Scanlations, escpecially around unrivaled.info where I read Naruto's Second Arc :P

I download lots of fansubs. I buy the occasional manga, and DVDs when I see a good deal on a series I really like.

OH but the library is also a great place to get manga and anime; I've read a lot from there.

i wont lie, i was listening the the paniponi drama CD in my car while i was driving through bayfair mall the other day and people gave me "the look", i didnt care. haha

Don't get me wrong, I love the ARIA soundtracks, but I can't envision subwoofing around to them. Hellsing, maybe. ARIA, I'd fall asleep at the wheel.

I buy manga far too much for my own good (although I'm going to be savng my money this year more or less for costuming junk unless I get a job that pays well...or a job at all...). I don't watch a whole lot of anime, although I've been doing so more lately since I was introduced to the wonderful world of BitTorrent and fansubs. *grin*

[Tsubasa]

Lots of downloading fansubs and scanslations...  purchasing a healthy amount of localized tankouban... and the occasional domestic DVD purchase.

[Sora]

fansubs, anime cons, and stores (used to).

[Kazuko]

[jindo]

Amazon.jp, deepdiscountdvd, discountanimedvd, amazon.com, ebay.

[zoupzuop2]

Youtube, Borders, Library.

[pockystix]

Fansubs [unlicensed] & Netflix [licensed] for anime. Library or bookstore [usually Borders] for Manga. I only buy things that I'd watch/read over and over again; I have no need for any "collection" of sorts [which is why I can use one lonely shelf for all my manga and anime].

[Shi_Musouka]

I buy manga/anime wherever I find it(in terms of licensed material), otherwise I borrow from friends or libraries. Then there's Youtube and Bittorrent.

* Amazon: 4-for-3 sale on many manga titles.
* Local anime clubs: No Name, Foothill Anime.

No longer Borders b/c their coupons aren't as good as they used to be.

[Emerge]

fansubs and suncoast (not anymore cuz the local one stopped selling for a good few months. gotta check if they started selling again...)

and of course, cant forget the dealers room every year

[shortpachoo]

-Borders (employee discount  :D ) - Just manga/cds and maybe an a anime dvd here and there
-Bittorrent - fansubs / manga scans (unlicensed)
-Online: Dvds (rightstuf.com/gotanime discount, Frys)

[LadyKaren]

It's like the only thing I spend my spare money on - (minus food)

But I buy it from borders then have the rewards card and then just buy my friends (or myself ) manga for Christmas with the savings.

If you're on the Borders email list, send them feedback about their coupons. They'll send you a 30% off coupon -- and you can modify the URL name/value pairs so that you can extend the expiration date of the coupon and reuse it!

Meanwhile, here's a link to Amazon's "4 for 3" manga and graphic novels list.
