- Comics Factory
-
Located at 1298 E. Colorado (between Zankou Chicken and the McDonald's), this is probably the
most local place to buy anime, assuming the bookstore doesn't start selling it. As the name suggests,
Comics Factory is primarily a comics store, but all that means is that it's they're more likely to
have manga in stock than anime. Very good selection of manga, good selection of anime for rental
($2/2 days, $1/each additional day), less anime on hand for purchase, but you can place special orders.
Base price is MSRP, but you can get discounts by maintaining a pull list (a set of comics they hold for
you to purchase when you come in to buy them at least once per month - this is good for 15% off printed
material and 20% off for DVDs IIRC). Not much in the way of anime-related merchandise.
- Borders

At the intersection of Lake and San Pasqual. Anime selection is small and even the series they stock are
