Hello there. New Lowyat member here.
As any of you Malaysians know, getting anime/manga stuff in Malaysia is difficult. Many of them selling here are bootlegs. For manga, there's only the popular ones selling, like Naruto, Detective Conan etc. Other than that, I see no more manga. Anime DVDs are even worse, all of them are bootlegs and there's no, I repeat, NO legit copy of anime DVDs selling here. As for Blu-Rays, I see none at all (There are bootleg anime DVDs that have a case that looks like a blu-ray, but says DVD on the top, which is hilarious.) I'm not entirely sure about video games, maybe you could ask your local game store to help import them for you, but I never tried asking them. As for other stuff like figures, lucky for me I know a store that imports them directly from Japan. However, the posters, mousepads etc, are bootlegs I believe.

So, my questions are
1. are they actually any way to obtain legit anime stuff without having to go on the internet and buy them?
2. are there any types of anime/manga merchandises that are banned in Malaysia?
3. Are there any anime/manga banned in Malaysia?
4. If you were to import manga/anime online (or just blu-rays and dvds in general), do they have to get sent to the Malaysian Censorship Board first? Because I don't want my manga/anime to get censored in any way at all.
