Recommended route for cheap anime DVDs

If you are not willing to import discs internationally, we recommend play.com since they stock most R1 discs, are very cheap and deliver quickly. If play.com don't have what you want, try DC-DVD. Still no luck? Contact United Publications who should be able to get you what you want but expect to pay a higher price (5 pounds or so).

If you are willing to import discs internationally, check Madman Entertainment to see if the anime you're interested in has been released in Australia. If so, buy it from EzyDVD, and expect to pay around 12 pounds total and have it within a week. If not, go for play.com in the UK and follow up as in the section above.
