Hi peeps..

can anyone tell me where can i get original anime DVDs in KL area?
im looking for 100% original ones, not the cheap RM20+ local ones where Speedy,RockCorner and almost all cd shops are selling them which have wrong subs and low quality..

so if anyone know pls let me know..

and one more question..
are those so called original ones the shop sell for RM20+ really original or just made original by local people?

In KL? Nowhere to be found. Other way is to get them online.

ahh i see..

what a pity.. > <"

i dont have any credit card(yet) so i cant get em online..

from what i know is those so called original selling in shops nowdays are simillar to those i found in *ahemm* shops. The only diff i can see is the government original sticker and a nicer packing but the contents are all 100% the same.

geez Malaysian anime distributer are killing anime ~__~"

*edit*
so.. are there anyone selling here in LYN?

You can always get help from someone to get em for you.
now its down to what are you looking for, as in original JP release w/o subs, or the American release w/ sub+dub?
the packaging n pricing differs between the two

A misconception. There are original licensed anime/japan shows in Malaysia. For example Speedy imports and distribute the Ultraman series for teh Malaysian market. They paid for the license, thus you can't say they are fake. You can even check with Tsuburaya.


The bad thing is, because of the way they lambak the whole thing with imported Hong Kong bootlegs, there are no way of knowing which is which. But usually licensed series in Malaysia do come in better packaging. And also behind the box, thera are information of the local licensee. Examples of series officially licensed in Malaysia by a local company were Vandread, Lost Galaxy (stopped halfway dammit), Hand Maid May (sub was so correct that it was better than the fansub version that I downloaded) and obvious titles like Card Captor Sakura (only in Malay dub) and Doraemon (ditto).

If the title is unavailable locally, and I want to get one from another country, I usually get from Japan since it has better extra stuffs (limited edition film press for instance of Eva 1.11) and cheaper than the US version. And some of the US version would also contain cut, and in majority of old titles, no Japanese audio, which for me is not really worth the money.

im looking for japanese lang w/sub if its possible.

but those which i really like its worth buying it with a higher price as long as its licensed original. I think by doing this i can support the company/maker of the anime into making more anime and not killing them by buying "originalfake" ones..

Really really wanna get FS/N and Clannad and its AfterStory..

SOme of the Japanese released DVD/Bulu Rei has included english subs nowadays, like the latest rerelease of Kanon. Try asking around, since Kanon and Clannad are made by KyoAni

CLANNAD Blu-ray Box (Region 2) - with English subtitles

You can try searching on Amazon.com for licensed US releases which should be much cheaper than its Japanese counterpart.

hey i know a place!
japan it sel, hahahaa!
actually, why bother to buy the ultra original, cmon, the story dont change..

ZOMFG @__@"

When i mention expansive i dint mention anything about 46309yen which is around RM1500 if im not mistaken. if its few hundreds i can still afford > <"

Added on April 30, 2010, 9:55 amthe reason why i wanna buy the "ultra original" ones is because in terms of quality its way better than the "originalfake" ones(i think) and it would make great collection(since i like the anime so much) and i think by buying the "ultra original" ones i can support the maker of the anime into making more good anime xD

its like the ps3 and xbox360 story.. why do u think some people choosed ps3 instead of xbox360?

amazon, ebay, rapidshare or megaupload, very original.

umm i prefer to get the item instead of downloading em.. coz downloaded materials will eventually dissapear one day xD

thanks for the suggestion tho.. =)

standard price. Eva Bulu rei is around RM200 also

@_________@"
bulu reis are still too early and far too expansive for me to get..
Recent top box office hits like Avatar are RM100+ only..
guess there is a price to pay when u want something luxury yea?
oh well i'll stick to DVD =)

Clannad: Complete Collection (4pc) (Dub Sub)

A lot more cheaper.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ is a good place to look for information about licensed releases.

Added on April 30, 2010, 11:53 amyeap, it is that expensive for original japanese ones, where US licensed would be much cheaper.

example:

my S2 horo BD is over rm1200
US funimation licensed for S1 is like USD 40-50 for the whole season1

not to mention no subs heh, but know this, for a true collector, the original japanese ones would be more worth it as they usually include extra goodies and you are paying directly to the production company of your beloved anime

Added on April 30, 2010, 11:55 amumm, you can get original ones from amazon, be it US (for us licensed anime) or JP

Added on April 30, 2010, 12:19 pmid recommend to go blu rays since dvd and bd pricing almost same, however quality wise and in some situations, content wise (be it extra features/footage or merchandise/items that comes with it) BD typically have more

o_o

i know price is nothing for a "rich" hardcore fan lools..

but for an ordinary lifestyle with budgets hardcore fan like me price is something but sure i do hope that i can get the best ones..

I know BD are better then dvd but if i buy BD then my PS3 lens is gonna wear out very fast since i dont have a proper BD player lools..

well like i said im an average person who just likes anime so much xD

guess i have to think over about getting a BD or a DVD.. just love Clannad and FSN so much..

Added on April 30, 2010, 2:47 pmone silly question..

are the so called originalfake ones which out local CD shop are selling properly liscenced by the anime company?

if not what difference does it have in comparison with the fake pasar malam ones except for the outlook?.

then can an anime company sue them for pirating their work?

im so curious to know lools.. coz i even see FFXIII animation DVD nowdays which Speedy is selling. x_x"

Malaysians are killing anime eh?

This is another misconception. We are not really that rich, but we ARE willing to pay for something that we like. You don't have to buy everything, just one or two that you like most. Simpan duit, then buy. I found that out with my games. What I don't buy, I just don't play. Is that simple.As I said above. some are, some are not. The original licensed can be easily determined since it will list out which company licensed it, and also the license number on the box.
DIfferent from SIngapore where everything comes through ODEX (ahahaohwow), we have various distributors here. Just keep an open eye.
