1) What shows have you bought recently?
I've been collecting yu yu hakusho and just starting into last exile.

2) What shows do you wish you could buy, but, are usally Out-Of-Stock?
Usually the newest Yu Yu Hakusho, and I've never seen gasaraki at Best Buy

3)If you could recommend a new show for begining fan,
what would it be?
Cowboy Beebop, Hellsing

4)What shows do you think will be populare in the future?
Hmm, hard to say . . . Requiem from the Darkness looks pretty cool, or full metal alchemist.

Presonal Interest:
5)What don't you like about your current video store?
The price, if the msrp is $25, then a decent price could be maybe $22. I hate buying a DVD that has only 3 episodes for 25 bucks BEFORE tax. I'd like to buy at a store cause it's more fun that way but i do it online for the price.


Also sell manga, and other anime related stuff. Advertise! Advertise! Advertise!

What would also be cool is a membership card that gets like 5%-10% off or points that add up to get free stuff or something.

Oh, yah. Somehow adapt this to anime: At Walden books they are always having sales like buy 4 books get the fifth free. These kind of open ended sales always get me there and if a anime store did that i would go all the time!

And finally, have a email service that lets card holders know about these sales.


One question, where is this store gonna be located (city?) We could really use a place like this in Grand Rapids, Mi. The only places to get anime are, like best buy, suncoast, etc. and we're the second largest city in michigan so theres plenty of costomers. Not to mention a local expo!

Thanks and Good Luck!

id recommend Miami Guns thats a good series by An entertaiment they should be coming out with the 3rd dvd this week.

Saber Marrionete j they dont usally have that our local store only has the ova and j to x. Tsukikage Ran, "Carried by the wind" many stores only had the 3rd disc and not the 1st,2nd or 4th disc for some reason. Eat man 98 cause our store could preorder it cause its not in stock in the store but found out that its out of print that seems to be really hard to find unless u look on the internet cause most stores like best buy , borders or suncoast dont carry it. of course these are all bandai titles. Also Burn up W go to our local store or suncoast and they only have certain discs in the Burn up Excess series and they dont even carry Burn up W
