Summer Sales and a Freebie!

CuLT

In case you aren't aware, the summer sales are on in Dublin a few weeks ago and prices for anime have hit the reasonable level in shops.

Notably, HMV are currently offloading Akira, End of Eva, Ghost in the Shell, Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop the Movie and others for 10.99 each. Quite a nice deal and I've bought 'em all
You can also get volumes of Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex for roughly the same price iirc.

An interesting little nugget I discovered today in town (Dublin): you can get Tokyopop's "Sneaks" - a manga comprised of snippets of Tokyopop's manga collection - for free, yes FREE, just by asking for it at the Information Desk in Easons on O'Connell street. Not too shabby

All 7 volumes of Full Metal Panic are £7.99 each. That works out at about €83 for the lot. Also there's a Voltron dvd for a fiver, gonna buy that as soon as I get paid, it's been a long time since I saw Voltron.

I should really snap up SAC at that price! And I'll be asking in Easons for that Tokyopop sampler!

Tower Records also have a lot of decent anime a reasonable price, now!

Yep. Tower is even cheaper again.

Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 1
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2
Macross Plus
And some other stuff that's a bit naff (namely Urotosukodoji) all for just €7.99 each.

Lots of other good prices too... I got Tokyo Godfathers for €13.99. I also got Azumi for the same price too (well, it's based on a manga.)

In Tower? Fruits Basket was €29.99 in there on Saturday anyway and they only had one volume.

Yep. I was in there yesterday and it's 16.99. Volume 1 that is. I was sure I'd seen a couple of the other volumes in there at some point also.
