**Thought I'd rename this thread for Anime finds**

if you guys have any Dollar Generals or Big Lots near you they always get tons of cheap Anime DVD's. Prices are usually $3 or less.

The downside is that the selection is very random and they don't often have first volumes. As an example I recently picked up Session 3 of Cowboy Beebop at Dollar General and Session 6 at Big Lots.

I got lucky today and found 4 at a Dollar General that were in fact all first volumes.

Mobile Suit Gundam Seed - Vol. 1 - Grim Reality
Yukikaze - Vol. 1 - Danger Zone
Overman King Gainer - Vol. 1 Exodus 1
The Big O - Vol.1

weird

I'll have to keep that in mind, although I'm usually sticking with box sets these days, it's good if there's a specific title I want to check out.

It's a great way to sample that's for sure. I have aquired maybe 40-50 DVD's from those 2 stores over the years.

any of those I posted any good?

Bebop is amazing.

yeah, I've seen Cowboy Beebop. I borrowed the complete series from a friend, I only have 2 of the 6 plus the movie. I loved it.

the other 4 I just picked up I have no knowledge of.

Big O is okay, and you'll like Yukikaze if you like fighter planes.

The ones near me had a few more options.

Mobile Suit Gundam Z
Panda Z
Saber Marionette (also the again and J to X series)
Haibane Renmei
Mobile Suit Gundam
Crest of the Stars
Steamboy
Planeets


Most of it was bandai or pioneer/geneon stuff.  I'm still looking to finish a few of the series they have.

cool. if it helps fill some holes you can't beat 3 bucks a pop.

If any are interested, I think we should consider the posibility of trading with each other to help complete our sets.  I've noticed different big lots carry different DVDs of the same series often times.

I'm up for that. Next time I'm there (most likely Thursday this week) I'll make a list of what they have and post it here.

I'm not looking for anything in particular but if anyone spots Cowboy Bebop 1,2,4 or 5 I need em'.

i've seen 1, 3, and 6 of cowboy bebop but that's it.  very good series well worth getting.  right now there's alot of series i'm wanting to complete that they carry.  rather then list what i've got of them, i'll list what i'm missing.

mobile suit gundam seed volumes 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10
mobile suit gundam seed movies 1, 3
Planetes volumes 1, 2, 4
mobile suit gundam zeta volume 2, 5
outlaw star dvd collection volume 1, 3
mobile suit gundam volume 2, 8+
someday's dreamer volume 3
galaxy angel volume 5


yeah, a bit of a list there.  figure i'd atleast get it out of the way.  planetes is a rather nice series i'd recomend people check out.  same for that yukikaze series.  it's rather short at only 3 DVDs but still the fighter designs are rather top notch.

I stopped at Big Lots last night. The only title they had from your list was Galaxy Angel but it was volume 6.

if you run across a Panda Z volume 2, I need that.

volume 6?  odd as the box for the set only looked to hold 5.  I'll keep an eye out for Panda Z volume 2 when I'm next in.

hmmm, maybe I misread it. it was something with Angel in the title.

there's angel links, that was 6 DVDs.  I posted what GA looks like in the anime ID thread though.

that might have been it. I picked up volume 3 of Yukikaze at Dollar General today.

got these from Dollar General today:

IGPX - vol. 1
Galaxy Angel - vol. 1 (already had this if anyone needs it.)
Scrapped Princess - vol. 1
Cowboy Bebop - Best Sessions (I was geeked about this one.)

from Big Lots last week

Panda Z - vol.3, 4

I've found almost the entire IGPX regular edition at big lots as of late.  I'd definitly be interested in Scrapped Princess.

I've got 1 & 3 of IGPX. I should be by the Dollar General I got Scrapped Princess from on Saturday. I'll stop in and see if I can snag you a copy.

I checked back at Dollar General and didn't find another copy of Scrapped Princess.

today at Big Lots I got:

IGPX - vol 4
s-cry-ed - vol 6

Dragonball GT - A Heros Legacy The Movie
Yu Yu Hakusho - Old Rivals, New Problems
Steamboy - The Directors Cut

Stoped by the local big lots and dollar general this week and found gundam zeta 2.  Now if I can only find 5.

You should check for the double packs on S-Cry-Ed instead of the individual volumes.  I've found 2 and 3 of it and basicly they contain volume 3-6 of the series.  They were a budget release.

Galaxy Angel is a very funny series.  I'm only missing volume 4 from having the first series and everything that came out for it in the others.  It's a cute series but funny all the same.

Have you guys seen any Gundam Wing? Its only 50 epidsodes long, but i remember enjoying it enebriated at 2am after the bar, while it was on TV.
 Or, Inuyasha... I'm looking for any episodes after 167 in english (or japanese if must be ) ... i bought the box set but the series just cuts off with no ending, i was hoping it continued farther, maybe just not converted to english yet.
  I'll check out the Big Lots here, i usually avoid it like th plague but from what you guys say, maybe i should pop in fast and see what they got. I'll let you all know

It's a crap shoot but you never know what will turn up in Big Lots.

well you got the crap part right this time, thats for sure

that's the beauty of the hunt, sifting through all the crap to find the hidden gems.

Indeed, but some days you just want the good stuff without having to deal with all the crap.... I'll be flea market hopping tomorrow to see enough junk =)  Anything you may be interested in while we ( me, the wife, and baby )  hunt? Oh yeah found a Dollar General within 15 mins of here also, going to check that out too =)

I need IGPX vol 2. if you happen to see one.

Picked up a few at yardsales over the weekend.

Sailor Moon, Mysterious Sailor VHS .99
Sailor Moon, Hotaru's Secret VHS .99
Steamboy NIB DVD 2.00

Picked these goodies up for 14.00.  All Titles are new.

Garzey's Wing
Inuyasha
Akira
M.D. Geist
Full Metal Alchemist 1 The Curse
Full Metal Alchemist 5 The Cost Of Living
Genocyber The Collection
Galerians: Rion
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
Burst Angel 1 Death's Angel

$14 each or fall all? and where?

I paid 14 for all of them from my companys store.  I cleared out there anime section.

Which Inuyasha? I'm still looking for anything after episode 169

There all double digit episodes.  Sorry I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head.  Picked up a few more anime dvds for 7.00 for the lot.

Gunslinger Girl Episodes 10-13
Samurai 7 Episodes 1-4
Millennium Actress
Ghost In The Shell 2
Burst Angel Episodes 13-16
Tokyo Godfathers

Found a couple over the weekend.

Sailor Moon Secret Identities VHS .59
Street Fighter II The Animated Movie VHS .99

Found a few things:

Megaman Battle for the future DVD 1.99
La Blue Girl #6 VHS .25
Debutante Detective Corps VHS .99
The Wanderers Quest 1 thru 7 VHS .99 ea.

Of all these, I'd recomend watching Milennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers.  Both were excelent movies that tend to be over looked by the anime comunity these days.

I picked up Paprika today, hope it'll be a good movie :)

Found episodes 1-4 of Neon Genesis Evangelion at a thrift for $1.91.

There is a website I frequent called rightstuf.com. They have a nice Bargain Bin and from time to time have nice huge sellouts. They also have good sales from studios at about 40% off or so. Including that they have crazy christmas specials.

Their huge sellouts are normally from the studios so instead of big lots getting it they do. Best example I think is you can get 10 for $50 or 25 for $100 but the last one I saw was a bit ago.

I found blue sub special awhile back including some Wolf Rain.

My anime picks: Louie the Rune Soldier and the current must see: Twelve Kingdoms which makes a number of anime seem small.
