I live with my boyfriend and he gets the majority of his anime DVDs at FYE. They have a well-stocked anime section, complete with fake katanas, plushies, Pocky, and Domo.

I am surprised by the amount of anime surfacing on Walmart's online store. It blows FYE's online store out of the water. Of course, I would suggest not buying anime from FYE.com since it seems they're very limited on what they carry. You're better off going to the stores.

Sadly, Best Buy has suffered a low blow. The last time I went there, they hardly had anything. Their anime section is dwindling, slowly. Of course, that won't amount to the massive selection they have available on their website. Wow.

Ooo, then there's macanimestore.com

That site's the best, personally. They have A LOT of anime at lower prices and they carry both Domestic (in the US) titles dubbed in English and the Imports (original Japanese).

I'm sure some of you already know about that website.

Overall, I prefer FYE, in this local anyway. Plus, my boyfriend and I go there all the time. It's like our second home.

I mostly torrent them.
Though I will also get them from Megaupload links if I feel like it.
All depends how I fast I want my Anime (12-20 MB per second from MU)
(Torrents vary.)

I torrent mostly. Usually at night, when I'm about to pass out, so it's done in the morning, and not killing my bandwidth. Sometimes watch online, if I'm too lazy to wait for a download. Rarely, I'll go to a store like Best Buy, there's a skate shop up here that sells anime too. ATS: Anime to Skateboards. My gf used to get hers from a store called Media Play.

Ah yes. Torrents.

If it wasn't for this slow internet connection I'm using, I'd probably watch episodes online or download them but since I'm only running off of a dial-up connection, that's quite difficult.

I buy the licensed animes we want from Target and the local gaming store called Fantasy Knights. Most the animes that we watch that do not have stateside licensing rights we watch streaming on the net.

We generally avoid downloading anything with a license with an English company. We'd rather support them and buy the box sets when we can.

I usually watch them online, but I watch some of them on TV. The ones on TV I DVR since they come on at like 2 in the morning.
If I know something is coming out that I will want, I'll just ask for it for Christmas. I got Ouran part 1 for Christmas, and it came from amazon.com.

I get streaming off of Youtube or Google Video, it takes a billion years for my computer to download anything.

I live in Asian town. 90% of stores here are Asian, and most of them sell DVD's as well. So Any of the stores really. I don't have that big of a collection though, but once in a while I lurk around the stores looking for good deals and I'll purchase even if I have no idea what it is~Like Recently I bought Neoin? I think that's the name, I had never even heard of it before, and I haven't even watched one episode I just bought cause it was cheap haha.
