Question - Online Shopping for Anime

[chomiji]

Can anyone recommend a good online source for ordering, say, "Ouran High School Host Club" on DVD?

The Young Lady has requested this, and I see that this site has it (complete series, 3 discs) for quite a reasonable price, but I have no idea if they're reputable. It's easy to find out who has it, but not whether they're OK folks.

Thanks!

^^;;; Those are definitely bootlegs... with bootlegs, you never know how good the subs will be. Sometimes they steal them from fansubs so they're really good, but usually they're a really horrid Japanese->Chinese->English translation. And you don't get an English voice track. (I don't know if the YL prefers her anime subbed or dubbed.) I'm not an Ouran fan... but if I remember correctly, it was licensed by Funimation and is scheduled to begin official US release in 2008. Until then, there's always free fansubs on Veoh!

God, it's a good thing you're here to tell me these things! I wouldn't have known ... well, I told her she can't have them. Free fan translations and stuff are one thing, paying someone money for someone else's work without permission is another. She can wait!

(It's not like her Hanukkah list isn't dozens of items long!)
