Anime shops on the web...?

Anyone here from Europe, that knows of some good, safe web-shops for buying R2 (Europe) anime...?
The shop I usually orders my DVD's from isn't updating the European anime section well enough, so I would appreciate some suggestions :)

Have you tried googling to see what you can find?
Being in America I am not familiar with what's happening over there in Europe.I do the majority of my online shopping at AnimeNation,however most of their stuff is R1 as far as I know.You could check to see if they have any DVDs that are rated Universal.

CPM often releases their DVDs as region 0, but they are NTSC, so you would need an NTSC or dual-standard TV (this shouldn't be hard to find in Europe though, if you don't have one already).

Other than that, the big problem is that most anime companies sell licenses by country and so most of them are going to be Region 1 only because the big market is in the United States. There is some Region 2 stuff in the UK and that might be your best bet.

Well, problem is I want a safe site, not some site I've never heard of, so Google ain't that thrustworthy...And I assume Amazon don't offer all there is of anime :)
