i know last time they had this soft toys ... so many up there ...

those so called affordable anime are pirated product. animetech sell em too, sadly.

I'm not so sure if I should post this topic here. For those who are familiar with S&M shop/store, located next to Kotaraya and across the Petaling Street's bridge, the building will close down soon.

I just went there today and was curious when I saw most of the shop set up 'Stock Clearance' sign. For those who do not know about this place, it is a place where you can buy affordable anime VCD and DVD, korean and japanese drama, movies, music videos (MV), concert, etc. You can also buy mobile phone, clothes, etc there.

I assure you that I'm not one of the shop owner  It's just that I'm a bit worried about where can I find other anime 'paradise' if this place going to shut down for whatever reason. The other place I know is in Sungei Wang.

I asked some of the shopkeepers where can I locate them after the closing and they either said "I'm not sure" or "Perhaps in Chinatown". I think only one particular shop already secure its place in Petaling Street --> Hero Comics.

Right now, they are busy clearing their stock. You can find lots of korean MVs such as Superjunior, Mirotic, Se7en, etc. being sold at half price (about RM25 to RM35). The same goes with Korean and Jap drama as well as the anime videos. Ah yes, the video set such as Supernatural, Tudors, and Smallville are quite cheap as well. Normally, the price is about RM 70+, now the price is RM35.

Yes, yes, I know you shouldn't trust something that has become too cheap to be true. That's why you must buy them carefully. Check the subtitles. If you can understand Korean or Japanese, that's just great. However, if the subtitles make you dizzy for the whole day, then you will regret for the whole month.

Ah yes, one more thing; the shopkeepers said that the place will shut down on June. This is the simple map to the S&M store:

From the Petaling Street, cross the bridge and ta daaa! You will arrive at the S&M lot. Go inside, go to the third level for videos, comics, games, etc. I think you will find clothes and mobile phones at affordable price there too.

Ah... do they have the "tulan" stickers like most pirated animes/ soundtracks have on their boxes? Genuine anime CD/ DVDs will never be sold at that low price to be honest.

Pirated product? Hmmm... never thought about that before. I thought maybe there was some sort of deal between the store and a third party. But yeah, videos are absolutely pirated if they are fansubs.

Herm, if the animes that you have been collected priced more than RM 80, would you buy them as much as you want? Unless you have a big salary, you will not be able to collect more than 30 animes and dramas as most of us did. I'm so sorry to say this but normally the one that I saw in speedy video and other video store, which have price tags RM80++ are actually the same with the one in S&M. I did buy a video from a store in Mid Valley. The price...yeah looks like original but the video...urghh...waste of money.

Well, unless Malaysians have more choices and buying powers then most of us will continue to buy the 'affordable' products. For me, how about setting up a legal suit against all those companies and then persuade anime production companies from Japan to set up their buildings here? That way, maybe we can get more original videos    And... how about blocking all torrent software? Hehe...then we shall see....
ps: Alright, better open a new topic about pirated animes and dramas shall we?

yes they have. but they will also came with "perakuan" stickers which most of em its not titled accordingly, n all mecha anime will be known as Gundam as title.
dun bother, try here. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=352018

i wonder if it would occur to u that buying those pirated wont help in supporting anime industry but rather throwing money to pirates. try get Odex stuff if u really wanted to support anime industry.

p/s: Odex is anime distributor in Singapore. but they didnt block torrent but rather work with internet provider tracking those illegal d/ler n sent em warn letter (letter from their lawyer stating stop or we will sue u stuff). plus not all torrent are illegal.

the management run away, the bank took over and going to lelong the whole building. the victims would be the shop owners and the workers there tho.

there's game shops also isn't it? can u please confirm with me if the gameshop owners' also offered discounted items on game tittles

game shops?! will go n check S&M out after work

i'm starting to imagine myself holding a PSP... 

there's a few game shops there

same as speedy one ehh?

Is it a good news or a bad news, never heard or went there, just animetech and then one in Sungei Wang, what is that store called again...

kecoh la ko milo.. bukan nak datang beli pun

i think those are known as bootleg right? well, there are plenty of places that sells bootleg as well in kl, there's one or 2 shops in petaling street that carry them

anyway, once i talked to a pirated vcd seller, they told me that "tulan" sticker can be get easily, and even as cheap as RM5 per sticker only, i was like

beli gunslinger girl ler tuh.. tak abih abih loli

afaik selling bootleg is legal in Malaysia right ...

Yeah, there are some PS shops and game shops.

However, there is no ATM machine in the S&M, you can draw money from the ATM machines in Kotaraya or go to Maybank (across the parking lot next to Putra LRT station). Kotaraya is always full with Indonesians, Myanmars, etc workers (mind you, I am not racist. They always like to loiter there) so pls be careful with your belongings and money especially when you are drawing money from the ATM machines there

ps: Can anyone buy me a PS as well? hehehehh  Eh, any other shops that I should know about around KL?

just want to ask if the game shop offered discounted as high as 50% for PS3 games and such there

once the shops moved to china town, the price will definitely up. i went there last week just checking around & i noticed that the already existed shop has a high standard price for their dvds (even though it's pirated) (T_T)

demand is higher and there is no competitor anymore. hiro comic will be the ruler of china town anime stuffs... they have 2 shops there.

the boss very lansi << got japanese wifu.

the staffs there often change cos of the boss yelling at the staff even when lots of customers around.

Any idea what happen to all the shop selling anime DVD over there? Hope they can relocate their shop somewhere else.

Any idea where are all those shops now?
