EXPIRED Anime & Manga Deals Roundup
Just a quick round-up today!
Just a quick round-up today!
June 24th. On this day in history, Julius Nepos became one of the last Western Roman Emperors, Hopalong Cassiday debuted, the games Uta no Prince-sama and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 were released, Astro and Mindy Kaling were born, and Grover Cleveland died. Today marks St. John’s Day for Christians and release day for Independence Day: Resurgence. Plus there’s “only” six months left until Christmas Eve.
Oh, and it’s also my birthday.
That’s right, it’s my birthday, but it’s time for y’all to party with deals like One-Punch Man and Yona of the Dawn for $4 and change. ‘Nuff said.
Full list below. Lots of really cheap manga preorders today (~54% off), so lock in the prices now before they go up!
Pokémon Origins
ポケットモンスター THE ORIGIN (Pocket Monsters THE ORIGIN)
Kodomo – Action, adventure
4 Episodes (complete)
Hulu / Amazon / iTunes
In a world where strange beings called Pokémon can be caught and battled, a young boy named Red begins his journey to catch every Pokémon. Along the way, Red will have to deal with his rival named Blue, a group of criminals called Team Rocket, and even his own inexperience.
The unofficial kickoff to summer doesn’t start until next weekend, and I’m personally hoping it brings with it warmer weather. I’d like to go outside without a jacket once in a while and stop getting these darned frost advisories…
Amazon is having one of a Deal of the Day sale on a couple of Blu-ray releases:
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Complete Collection One – $27.49
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Complete Collection Two – $27.49 SOLD OUT!
Steins;Gate – $23.99
Shipping is free with Prime or on $49+. Sale ends today or may end early if titles go out of stock.
Steins;Gate is at its lowest price ever on Amazon. While Brotherhood has been cheaper, today may be the last time you can pick it up at a low price. FUNimation lost the rights to Brotherhood back in March, so pick up the series now before it goes out-of-print!
We have an extra day this year! So how about using the day for more anime and manga? Lots of manga volumes are 35% off or more!
It’s almost Valentine’s Day! Forget the giri-choco and honmei-choco. How about some anime, manga, and games instead?
Groundhog Day was a couple of days ago (early spring is coming!), and Valentine’s Day is just over a week away. But today is also World Cancer Day. I’d like to take a moment and offer my condolences to everyone who has lost someone to to cancer, and my thoughts to everyone currently battling cancer. I lost my great-uncle to a brain tumor, and my aunt is a breast cancer survivor.
If you save some money today or have so previously, consider donating to one of the many cancer detection, research, and treatment facilities to help battle this awful group of diseases.
With that in mind, on to the deals!

Amazon is offering Prime for $73 this weekend only for new Prime members, regularly $99. Prime benefits include:
Some anime titles are included in the free Prime video. Amazon has offered exclusive Prime deals like the Death Note box set for $19. In addition, Amazon often pricematches manga prices to Walmart and Barnes and Noble, meaning you can often get titles around 50% off with free two-day or release-date shipping.
The 20% off video game preorders and new releases is a benefit that has just been added. Pick up a title before or within two weeks of release and get 20% off automatically. This is a nice way to save, and there are plenty of anime- and Japanese-style releases. I’ve also been assured that all currently-standing preorders will automatically be eligible for 20% off, even if the preorder is already out-of-stock. (Price may not update until game release.)
