UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Bargains

£6.49 cheap enough? (Same price at HMV.)

Innocence certainly is an amazing looking film. As I was watching it on DVD all I could think about was how good the visuals would look in HD. There was a plot as well, I think, but I didn't pay much attention to that =P

 

[ilmaestro]

lol, I will accept any and all abuse for not looking on Amazon and HMV myself considering that they were the sites you mentioned for the set. For £6.49, that's ordered.

Any and all abuse, you say? This is an opportunity not to be missed.

My Bride Is A Mermaid (aka Seto no Hanayome) Part 1 - £17.99

Thanks to the terrible exchange rate there aren't many bargains to be found at PlayUSA these days. But their "aim at a dartboard while blindfolded" method of pricing still throws up the occasional suprise.

I like how the DVD and Blu-ray of DBZ kai is £17.99

I don't think anyone's posted these HMV pre-orders yet?

Sword Of The Stranger - £5.99

Rin Daughters Of Mnemosyne Complete Series 2dvd - £11.99

Escaflowne Anime Legends 8dvd Box Set - £14.99

Hack Gu Trilogy - £10.99

Pet Shop Of Horrors - £9.99


Also, I ordered the following from PlayUSA, after checking through their pre-orders this morning: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/1514/clipboard02tu.jpg

Genshiken DX:TV Series 1 And OVA Collection (4 Discs) - £17.99

This sucks for Genshiken fans who already own S1. Why? 'cause the only way to get the OVA episodes is to buy this **** or the crappy Kuji-something DVDs. It's a great deal for cheap/slow people, mind you...

Shattered Angels: Complete Box Set (2 Discs) - £11.99

A spin-off of that legendary 5-6/10 yuri anime, Kannazuki no Miko. Need I say more?

Casshern Sins Pt.1 (2 Discs) - £17.99
Casshern Sins Pt.1 (2008) (Blu-ray)- £17.99
Casshern Sins Pt.2 (2 Discs) - £17.99
Casshern Sins Pt.2 (2008) (Blu-ray) - £17.99

It's weird for me to be ordering an anime I dropped due to its sloooow pacing, but I love the shows post-apocalyptic setting and doom & gloom atmosphere. It'll prove to be worthy of £36, I think.

Big Windup: Complete Collection (4 Discs) - £17.99

I know sod all about baseball. I do, however, know it's one of the higher rated anime out there, and that it'll be new enough in my eyes to be worth a looksee for £18.

Kodocha: Season 1 Box Set (6 Discs) - £17.99
Kodocha: Season 2 Box Set - £17.99

I may be proved wrong about this series, but its read-up and high rating made me think it'd be worth a go when these sets are going for so little.

Hell Girl: Two Mirrors - Vol.2 Collection - £17.99

After canceling and having a few orders canceled, I finally decided to order both of the Hell Girl 2 sets. It may only probe to be 7/10 entertainment, but I know it'll be entertaining enough to watch from the comfort of my bed.

Project Blue Earth SOS: Complete Box Set (2 Discs) - £15.99

It doesn't strike me as being worth £16, but...

La Corda D Oro Primo Passo: Vol.1 - £17.99

Ditto.


Mermaid (dropped originally, but worth another go with a Funi dub) and Code Geass R2 (set 2) were also ordered.

 

[Aion]

The Wallflower: The Complete Collection (4 Discs) - £17.99

Shigofumi: Complete Collection (2 Discs) - £17.99

Princess Resurrection: Complete Collection (3 Discs) - £17.99

Tytania: Volume 1 Collection (2 Discs) - £17.99

La Corda D'Oro Primo Passo: Volume 2 (2 Discs) - £17.99

Full Metal Panic!: Remastered Complete Series 1 (Blu-ray) - £17.99

...and, in case anyone missed the previous release: Suzuka: The Complete Series (2005) - £13.99

Edit: Just noticed that they have seasons two and three of Slayers for £17.99, after checking at random.

Slayers: Next - Complete Season 2 - £17.99

Slayers Try: The Complete Third Season (Full Screen) - £17.99

 

[Reaper gI]

Shigofumi, under VAT minimum limit, done
Isn't FUNi FMP BD not the remaster, or certainly doesn't look anything like as good the jp version does.

 

[fabio de lunatico]

PlayUSA have also listed the second FMA: Brotherhood set, DVD and BD, at the £17.99 price point. Yet another nail in the coffin of the UK Blu release?

 

[Aion]

Foolish Cocker. Clearly you lack eyes, as well as my refined taste, since both FMA: B DVD sets are available to pre-order for £15 each. My math may be weak, but even I know £15>£18.

In any event, the pound wavering between 1.4-1.5 makes this importing anime business very straightforward, I find. If you want new DVDs, hope that PlayUSA sell for £17.99 or less--the £18 prices pretty much always being the cheapest for us Brits due to currency conversion and postage costs elsewhere. And if you want second-hand DVDs, look on SS/Wherehouse during their free shipping/20% off periods--no other store on the net allowing users in Europe to get DVDs for the same price as yanks.

 

[fabio de lunatico]

Meh, I didn't even know what the UK DVDs were going for. The BD sets, however, are £7 cheaper than the lowest-priced UK equivalent. And since the first set was region-free, there's a good chance the second one will be too.

 

[Paradox295]

So, anyone else's Gundam 00 orders cancelled by Select Cheaper? They told me that they ran out of copies
