Hey, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post something like this, but it doesn't say I can't so here I go:
There are a lot of anime I want to watch (and manga I want to read), but I don't want to download everything or watch everything online (like on crunchyroll.com). I know that not all anime have been domestically released in North America or Europe, but some retailers such as BestBuy stock a decent collection (despite anime being a niche genre in NA). I was wondering if anybody knows a good site or store (I'm in Montreal, if you're going to suggest stores) that sells anime? I'm looking for actual domestic releases, not fan-subs or pirated home-made DVDs. I know there's Amazon, but I was wondering if there's any way to know if their products are actually new and from the original retailer/manufacturer (I don't want any used products). Is there anyone here who's experienced with Amazon and who can tell me the exact details with amazon? To me it seems mostly like Ebay, but with new products? I don't want to buy from third-party sellers (people who bought the product, haven't opened it and are reselling it) Also, is there any reliable site that sells anime directly from Japan (again, I'm looking for unused/unopened products that come directly from the original manufacturer)? I want to see Summer Wars and some other notable OVAs, but they haven't been released with english subs.
Many thanks in advance.
