The Shopping Report

These are verifications of recent releases of anime and manga translations in the USA.

If you have seen something that is not listed here please let me know and I'll report it.

I will attempt to upload the final version of each week's by Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. Reports in process are noted as such.

The places I check for these items are all in the central San Francisco Bay Area, but if something was seen here its likely you will find it near you. Mostly I check Anime V for videos and Comic Relief for manga translations as they are in areas I visit regularly. If you see something reported here they probably have it. If I spot something unusual I will note it in the report. I will also occasionally check the Right Stuf site for title release verification.
 
I urge you to buy from your local dealers, this encourages them to stock more anime and manga. If you are unable to get items from a local dealer the Right Stuf site has almost all the titles listed here.

Week of July 25, 2004 ** FINAL WEEK **
