Well, about 10 years ago it was better than any comic convention I have been to out here one the east coast (and now they're all gone). I took it for granted, now I just suffer -- hopefully you can get out there and it will be as good as it was a decade ago. They used to have a lot of anime (but much was bootleg copies -- don't know if they ever cracked down on it). > What we > don't have is rental tapes, and only Suncoast to buy > from if you don't want > to make the drive to AnimePlus or have to have > something right now.

As far as rental goes, living where I do, it would be a miracle to find more than 20 Japanese Anime movies at any store within 100 miles -- no series at all. But other than Suncoast, and a place called Fat Jacks', there is nowhere to buy, except on-line. I assume you live too far from Little Tokyo to buy in the stores there...? That's where my friend from L.A. used to get all his tapes (Lupin, Urusei Yatsure, etc.). Gregory Himes Still thinking all us Otaku ought to rise up as one powerful mass and create an Otaku cable/sattelite TV network.
