| Awesome, I'll be checking this place out. Thanks phoenixkz. - Dan |
|
| in christchurch theres: alice's videoland - city center and i think certain united videos have them. i get most of my anime from gpstore or trademe |
| Hey Jencatd, is the Mt Albert Video Ezy you're talking about located next to a train station? - Dan |
|
| the places i go to are Sounds and GameMans(i think thats what its called) |
 |
| ^ Algood. man. I better check it out....might go do a drive-by on it tonight. |
|
| Wellington: To Hire Anime Civic Video - Courtney Place United Video - Courtney Place Wellington: To Buy Anime Borders - Lampton Quay (Loads of manga!) Dymocks - Lampton Quay (they will order in most manga, takes about 2wk, 50% deposit usually needed for orders) Gamesman - Lampton Quay Gamesman - Cuba St Gamesman - Lower Hutt Graphic - Cuba Mall |
| On the North Shore in Auckland, I recommend Civic Video Glenfield. They have an amazing anime collection, AND they keep up with new releases very well. In Wellington, Amalgamated Video in the city has a good collection and is most likely to have new dvd releases there. |
| ^ I remember seeing someone recommend that Civic store from another anime board, will definitely investigate. |

Precis said: If you're in Christchurch there's the Gamesman down by Hoyts 8. You can rent/buy/order a fairly decent selection from there. ^_^ That gamesman lets you rent?! awesome! |
| JB Hi Fi has a big selection of anime. I know theres one in Westfield manukau, thats where I get almost all of my dvds. I'm not sure where the rest of them are though. Also, there are two Borders in Auckland, one in the Skycity Metro on Queen Street and one in Sylvia Park. Theres another store in Skycity Metro Queen Street Called Vagabond that has a lot of figures (especially Gundam figures) and a decent selection of dvds. They also have an online store at www.vagabond.co.nz Theres a Gamesman in Sylvia park as well that gets new anime in very quickly. Also, in wellington theres Pulsar Max, in Manners Mall that have a big selection of figures and manga. |
 |
| Auckland City Libraires. are a good place to get Graphic Novels Out. depends which Libraires you go to some dont have many But look carfully they are like in different areas in the Libraires. |
| "I am powerful, I am immortal, I can do anything, I am cursed, I am the Darkness" "I'm not evil! I'm just misunderstood. (long pause) And evil." "The darkness that surrounds us cannot hurt us. It is the darkness in your own heart you should fear." |
| A good place to rent manga in Christchurch is the Upper Riccarton one - there's a good selection of stuff there. |
| HEY u missed COMICs COMPULSION in christchurch LINWOOD LIBRARY(chch)has the LARGEST lot of manga in all NZ LIBRARIES(a whole row!!!...its big for nz) |

enoxico said: A good place to rent manga in Christchurch is the Upper Riccarton one - there's a good selection of stuff there. wats the name of that place? |
| [Hentai!] [/Hentai!] Damn...it didn't work |
| The new brighton library has manga (although never the right volume DX) |
| You know, if you have a PIN for your library card, you can just place a hold on the manga you want off the Christchurch City Libraries website and they'll bring it in for you from whatever library has it. =] (Although normally I don't bother with that unless it's something I really want - otherwise I end up having to go down to the library every two days or so to pick more stuff up. xD But it's better than running all over the city trying to find what you want.) And if you want to buy manga, the only place that has a really good selection is Borders. There's one in Christchurch (at Westfield Riccaton) and I think one in Auckland too. They have some anime too, but never exactly what you want. xD |

Mm borders is one of the best places to buy them in chch |

Lol.. I read it off there as well!! I usually get my manga from the library or online if I'm desperate or borrow it from friends. As for anime I download some and my friends give me some too. Cool! I never knew there was a renting place by Hoyts 8 >.< |
naruhinastoned said: there is also borders in chch by westfield! Riccaton? Or is the one you're mentioning located in the CBD area? |

Since I live out East. Lol. I like them at Armageddons with the ichiban kuji. Well, Id say that because I walked away with a giant Klan Klan PVC last year. |

| Although the Whitcoulls website has cheap manga. |
|
| this might have been mentioned already but mightyape.co.nz is a great online store with a very large selection of anime, manga and even some light novels with fairly reasonable prices. |
| ^ thanks, I've added mightyape which was previously gamesplanet. |
