Visit to an anime DVD manga CD rental shop in Japan
Take a walk around my local video store, which rents CDs and manga (comic books) as well as the usual assortment of Japanese movies and foreign films (movies from Hollywood, China, Korea, etc). This store has a HUGE selection of anime titles. If you're an anime fan, how many titles do you recognize? I've had a bunch of requests from subscribers to talk about anime or show an anime/manga shop, so here you go. I enjoy anime, but I don't watch it very often, and I don't follow any current series. It's incredibly popular here tho, especially with my students, so I know a little bit about it even tho I'm not a regular viewer. Hope you enjoy the vid, and thanks for rating and commenting. -Jasonカテゴリー :People & Blogs

oh yeah, I am definitely with you there, Japanese movies without the subtitles are very hard. I think if you could understand everything said in a Japanese movie you could call yourself very very fluent.I used to watch a lot of American movies with the Japanese dubbing over the top and English subtitles but I havent been doing that much lately.Its good practise I think but the actors real voices make a big difference to the feel of the "part".I havent heard of Cloverfield before,I'll checkitout.

Funny thing... reminds me that the video stores in the boondocks like Ishikawa prefecture were much bigger that in the middle of residential Tokyo. Yours is much bigger than mine.

I've been there, I saw it. :-)
Why not show some of the adult section, cuz people are usually astonished when I tell them that Hentai Anime makes up only a small fraction of what these rental shops offer.

I rent all kinds of movies. I try to watch Japanese movies, but so few of the DVDs have English subtitles, and it's still tough for me to watch a whole movie in Japanese.
I worked in video/laserdisc/dvd shops all thru my twenties and while in college, so I know a lot about movies and I've seen everything.
I rent a lot of American TV on DVD here, since I've seen every movie, except new releases, which come out here painfully slow.
I'm looking forward to renting "Cloverfield" this week.

nah - more embarrassed to be looking like I'm talking to myself in public. :)
It was pretty late when I filmed this - about 11:30pm or so.

I loved that Yankee Doddle song in the shop at the end.
Shin-chan is airing on Cartoon Network. It has a lot of adult humor, probably not a very accurate adaptation of it if it's found in the kid's section in Japan. A lot of the series you showed are airing on TV here in the States.

XD AHHHHHH I saw Shin-Chan!!!!

I see in the sidebar you say that you don't watch much anime (me too). Do you rent movies very often? What kind of movies do you watch? I watch a lot of American movies, there are so many good ones. I am kind of lucky to have a store near me that rents 3 weeklies for 300en so I like it there.

Lol, japanese yanky doodle. Ah, that was my laugh for today. Thanks for the vid, when I go to Japan I will proly spend a lot of time in those stores.

LOL, you looked a bit embarrassed to be in the anime section at the beginning of the video (or it could just be my imagination). I'm surprised to see the aisles so empty at this place!

Well actually in most places the membership is free, at least it was for me. As far as I know, piracy isn't as widespread as in the rest of world, and because cd's are totally overpriced in japan, most people just rent cd's
myargonauts 2008-09-01
the only song I put in this video is:
パルス by B'z - a good J-rock group
all the other music is stuff the store had playing as I walked around
myargonauts 2008-09-01
you're welcome :D
myargonauts 2008-09-01
yep - it's not bad. I rent DVDs pretty often.
myargonauts 2008-09-01
