I have a question regarding this site - is it trustworthy? If so, how long is the delivery time, what quality are the products, etc.
I'm back to make a post or two every couple years...

Ok I have bought 2 box sets from Animeniacs. They are legit, GREAT to deal with. I emailed them a few times during shipments, and I spoke with Cashan the owner...very nice guy. It takes them like a week or so after payment...not the fastest in the world, but man...there prices are great, and there nice people to deal with. I would buy from them before Best Buy, Suncoast, or anyone else. Check my sig for more proof. lol.

Ta da! Personally, I'm not very impressed with animeniacs at the moment..I ordered stuff ont he 8th and I'm still waiting for it. Still, they're prices are CHEAP AS DIRT PEOPLE, and yes, the staff is extremely user-friendly, even Cashan is not some unapproachable head guy. I can give a better support/review when I finally get my stuff in :shady:

Actually, given all that, I can forgive them and continually fork over my paycheck, even if I have to kill the USPS in the process.

Odd...my orders always came fast...and I am farther away from them....did you give them all the info they needed? (item number, shipping addy, etc etc) Treat them like Ebay, give them any info they could possibly need...and there speedy.

Well, like I said, I haven't given up hope on them at all. A little miffed yes, but next time I'll include anything they need in an email, not with my money order. So yes folks, this site does get a thumbs up from me...plus, not only does it have good prices, but some stuff you can't even get in america yet *cough KKJ cough hack*

Some stuff is only subtitles, others has both. If you're referring to Trigun, they have subtitles and dubbed.

I got my cowboy bebop boxed set in yesterday. Man oh man, it is incredible. The set itself looks great--including a plastic slip case, which I thought was spiffy, and a trifold dvd holder (think Fellowship of the Ring special edition), so it's very professional and very legit. And the quality? Absolutely perfect, IMO. Given all this--plus the incredibly cheap price I paid--makes it definately a grade-A site in my book. :thumb:

I am sorry... i just can't believe that this is a true legitament (as in truely legal site). i mean there is not way that Pioneer is gonna release Trigun it two different packages and another thing... the true compaines are big on DVD Regional coding to stop illegal copies...
I think there might be some doubt to the quality of some illegal dvds made in China... i mean it is like a profession there.
i could be wrong. i guess i could write Pioneer or some of the other companies...

Pioneer did not release the 30 dollar set, FX did. FX got permission from Pioneer to do so...FX are R1 rips. Therefor there is a minute quality loss. As well as a few screen flickers from time to time. Animeniacs is quite legal despite what you might think. They would not do the business they do if they were illegal, they would be shut down. But think whatever you want, and pay whatever you want for anime. As for me, I will keep on buying dvds from them. As for region coding...yeah, another way for big companies to rip everyone off. :rolls_eye I try to only buy region zero (free) DVDs. As for quality, of course there is doubt. HK Dvds can be kinda iffy sometimes, and some rips are poor. R1 FX dvds are great. Bebop has a little pixilation...but not enough to notice really. I mean if you want to spend 120 bucks more to get more disks and a minute amount of quality go for it. *shrug*

I made the mistake twice of getting Hong Kong realeases. Never again. While the picture quality was OK the subtitling was...well let's say a 2nd or 3rd grade student could have done better. While I am no big fan of paying big prices, Anime is really my only hobby so I make sure I pick and choose that which I am pretty sure I will enjoy again and again. Most of my purchasing is done at Best Buy who has pretty decent pricing. Plus this company seems to promote a good bit of hentai material and I tend to steer away from companies that offer that.

wel actaully a 3rd or 4t grade student couldnt do it better since most are done from tv rips and a lot of the animes are old and these are chinese people so its hard for them to speak english .

hkdvds are almost never made from orginals except for flowerxxx`s stuff

you got to know your studios

Yeah Rev, I agree it has hentai in it. But y'know, as Christians we should really know BETTER than to even click on that link. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not supporting hentai because I don't buy anything from it...and it's almost a little irrational in my mind to stop buying good things from a company just because they offer bad things too. Why? Because plenty of American companies I buy from every day support/fund not-so-good things as well. Just my opinion on that.

Yeah, you DO have to be careful about the HK stuff, but from what I've seen so far, my cowboy bebop is right on translation wise (meaning, it's the same dub set that was featured on CN, so the sub is good stuff too). So, so far so good. Best Buy is ok, but man alive, Suncoast has a huge selection but it's 30 bucks a pop. Ouch.

Regional coding has to do with the tv signals each of the broadcasting companies use. I.e. in america, it's something like NATSC, but in Japan, it's something else. Has to do with compression and the like.
Anyway, it also allows the dvd companies to market areas and such. Blah. The US, if I remember corretly---I would kill to find that chart Steve showed me once---is region 1. This means if you bought a dvd player/ps2 in the us, you must buy games/dvds in the us so they are compatible. I can't go to england and buy a dvd and expect it to play on my US dvd player, see?
Region 0 is region free; meaning it's the type O for all of them. It'll play in everything.
That answer your questions?

the U.S. is region 1. regional coding is used to help deter illegal copying and to control the rate at which movies are released. Most big companies use regional coding. thats why i am always skeptic of region 0 dvds. some countries don't care to enforce international copyright laws.
(but shatter said that these have been licensed, so i don't see a problem with that), ;)
