Legit anime merchandise retailers

Postby mai » Sun Dec 03, 2006 11:12 am

I’m looking for online stores that sell anime merchandise [calendars, figures etc.] and that don’t sell bootlegs, and that ship to the United States.
Thank you ^-^
Sorry if there is already a topic for this, I didn’t see one…

Do you find your self worried alot of the time about things that don't always make sense?


Are you experiencing any of these?
• Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability or anxiety
• Overreaction to irritations
• Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed,
• Sleep too much, or sleep too little
• Unexpected loss or gain of weight
• Tiredness or restlessness
• Slowed movement, thought and/or speech
• Guilt, low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness
• Inability to concentrate and poor memory
• Loss of motivation
• Feelings of hopelessness
• Suicidal thoughts and/or behavior
• Withdrawal from relationships, anti-social behavior
• Physical aches and pains that seem to have no other cause

If you have a few of the symptoms on this list, you may be suffering from a form of clinical depression there are many sites that offer advice and help.

Ok but first you must realize that all of the major retailiers online will also be selling some hentai so you have to prepared for that.
That said the ones most people use here are:
1.Animenation
2.Robert's Corner Anime Store aka The Anime Corner Store
3.Rightstuf
If you ask most people get their anime merchandise from one of those.

http://akadotretail.com is a good online store, and luckily the hentai and yaoi sections are clearly labelled on the site. Also, http://www.animegamersusa.com/ is a fairly good place to browse, though they cater mainly to Broccoli series.

Although I haven't done any business with them, JBOX.com has a lot of neat and harder-to-find merchandise. They aren't exclusively anime-oriented, though ~ they have a ton of random Japanese stuff.

You might also want to look at some of the distributor websites. Some of the most popular are:
http://advfilms.com
http://bandai-ent.com
http://zstore.com (FUNimation's online store)

Obviously you'll only have access to that particular distributor's titles going that route. But on the positive side, you don't have to worry about bootlegs, and sometimes you can get some incredible deals. (ADV, for example, has a GREAT sale going on right now. They run sells like this every so often.)
Theme Scripture: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)

And a verse for all us single folks: Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? (1 Corinthians 9:5)

:dance: Looking for a GOOD music mix? Check out these stations:

Grey FM Downtown -- a mix of mainstream and Christian pop and rock music (Listen Now!)

More real stuff...

I think most online retailers will in fact label their hentai sections as such or as Adult.They would have to or else they could get in trouble for selling adult material to minors.
btw:I ordered the Rightstuf print catalogue back in late September and it still hasn't arrived yet.
