2016 Issue 1 - Right Stuf Anime
2016 Anime Catalog / Issue 1 1.800.338.6827 It’s an election year, and here in Iowa that means nothing but constant TV advertisements, mail, and phone calls from the various polling places and political candidates. Pretty much every TV channel is filled with gloom and doom messages from political action committees or politicians asking for your vote. So, what a great time to switch over to some great anime or manga instead! Unless you like politics, in which case, you might try watching Love, Election, and Chocolate, or maybe Parasyte or Psycho Pass! Unfortunately, there is no Obamacare: The Anime. Yet.

If you're a fan of horror, dark comedy, and ultraviolent anime, I think When They Cry is definitely worth your time. When They Cry swings between extremes, looking very cutesy one moment and then deranged the next. Additionally, since the show is broken up into arcs that act almost as "alternate versions" of the story, When They Cry remains an unpredictable and captivating mystery from the first episode to the last. – David O.

N/R Not yet rated. ALL, 7+, 10+ Generally acceptable for children. No nudity. Possible mild violence. 12+, 13+, 14+ Parental discretion advised. May contain violence, brief nudity, maturethemes, and/or mild language. May suggest sexual situations, but no such situations are shown. 15+, 16+, 17+ Strong violence and explicit language. Nudity may be prevalent. Mild sexual situations may be shown. 18+ Extreme violence and/or explicit nudity. May contain sexually explicit material. Please note: Right Stuf does not set ratings and is not responsible for errors, omissions, or inaccurate ratings. These ratings are guidelines only and are subject to change. RUNTIME / PAGE COUNT The listing for each item contains information detailing its approximate length. Depending on the manufacturer, this may or may not include extra bonus features, such as previews or forwards. An N/A indicates that the manufacturer has not yet provided this information. DUB ONLY? SUB ONLY? Although DVDs and Blu-ray discs allow for the possibility of multiple languages, it’s not always possible to produce a title for dual-language release. So, you end up with manufacturers releasing discs that are Subtitled Only (SUB ONLY) or English Dubbed Only (DUB ONLY). Subtitled discs display the dialogue on the bottom of the screen while the actual voices are still in Japanese. Dubbed means the music is (probably) intact, but the voices have been redone in English. If we are aware that a title is dub or sub only, it will be noted as such in the product listing. RELEASE DATES If an item has not yet been released at the time of this catalog’s printing, you may see a release date listed. However, manufacturers can (and often do) change these dates due to production delays. If you are pre-ordering an item and are concerned whether it’s on schedule, please feel free to check the release date on our website or to contact our friendly Customer Care representatives. OVA (OAV) OVA stands for Original Video Animation. Basically, this means it is a direct-to-video release. SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Certain DVD and Blu-ray items are marked with names such as “Anime Classics,” “S.A.V.E. Edition,” etc. These are re-releases of the original discs at lower prices. However, these editions may or may not include all of the features that were found on the original releases. If you are concerned that the item you are considering may not contain the features that you want, please check the item’s listing through our website or feel free to contact Customer Care. MISSING VOLUMES You may notice volume gaps in our printed catalog listings. This is not necessarily because the products aren’t available, but merely because we couldn’t fit every item into the printed catalog. If you are looking for a certain volume, please feel free to contact Customer Care or check our website. OMNIBUS EDITIONS An omnibus collects two to four “regular” volumes into one book. Omnibus volume numbers don’t always match the regular volume numbers. 20 DVD & BLU-RAY FIND MORE ITEMS ONLINE 1.800.338.6827 PRINT ON DEMAND (POD) Some books are marked “Print On Demand.” This means they are part of the Right Stuf Print on Demand program and are printed to meet orders. The paper quality used is higher than that of “regular” manga, but they may take extra time to ship if we do not have any copies already in stock. DVD-R These are DVDs printed to order by the manufacturer. They will play in DVD players that play regular DVDs. Please note that sometimes DVD-rs will not play on older players. I SAW THIS SHOW THAT I THINK MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANIME. DO YOU HAVE IT? If you can give us enough information, someone can usually identify the program. Please understand, though, that if you ask us about something where “there’s a girl who’s a magic user, a guy with a sword, and a villain who wants to take over the universe,” there’s a problem. This describes about half the films ever made. Also, knowing what a series or movie is doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s available in the U.S. as a licensed product, but it could be. WHAT IS REGION CODING? Region coding is a geographical restriction for DVDs and Bluray discs. Since players are region specific, you need to make sure that the item you purchase is coded for the same region as your player. All DVDs and Blu-ray discs we sell are region coded for the United States. WHY ISN’T (TITLE HERE) AVAILABLE IN THE U.S.? You might be surprised to find out how much anime is available in the U.S. Of the few titles that remain unlicensed, some titles have their rights disputed, some licensors want more money than a title can possibly generate in this market, and of course, some are currently in negotiation or are just now being shown. Many streaming services offer “simulcasts” where the current season as shown in Japan is available. We do not sell bootlegged products. WHAT REGION IS MY PLAYER? If you purchased your player from a retail outlet in the U.S., it should be Region 1 for DVD players or Region A for Blu-ray players. You can check the region coding on your player by looking for the region code symbol on the player’s packaging. WHY DON’T YOU CARRY MANY IMPORTS? Limited availability of imports and lack of timely distribution of such overseas items make it difficult to provide quality imports on a timely basis. As such, these items are generally only listed on our website, so if you’re looking for a particular item, please check our website or contact Customer Care. DVD/BLU-RAY SPECIFIC DVD Region Codes: 0 Region Free 1 United States and Canada 2 Europe, Egypt, Arabia, Japan and South Africa 3 Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo and Indonesia 4 Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean and South America 5 India, Africa, Russia and former USSR countries 6 China Blu-ray Region Codes: A The Americas, Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia B Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand C Russia, India, China and the rest of world CAN MY BLU-RAY / DVD PLAY IN A PLAYSTATION / XBOX / PERSONAL COMPUTER? It depends on the disc. There have been instances of some DVDs or Blu-rays having difficulty playing in certain players. While the vast majority will work just fine, we cannot guarantee all Blu-rays or DVDs will play correctly on your Playstation, Xbox, or personal computer. With Blu-ray disc issues, you might look to see if your player has a firmware update. WILL A BLU-RAY DISC PLAY IN MY DVD PLAYER? Just as CDs and DVDs require different types of players, so do DVDs and Blu-ray discs. In order to play a Blu-ray disc, you must have a Blu-ray player or a device capable of playing a Blu-ray disc. WILL A DVD PLAY IN MY BLU-RAY PLAYER? Generally a DVD should play in your Blu-ray player. However, as we are not a hardware manufacturer, we can’t guarantee this. Blu-ray player manufacturers often issue firmware updates if there is an issue with one of their players. If you have a problem playing a disc, please check this first. WHY DON’T YOU HAVE (TITLE HERE) AUDIO SOUNDTRACK FROM JAPAN? See the previous question. You also might want to check our website, since some titles are available domestically. I REALLY WANT TO LEARN JAPANESE. WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU HAVE? We have many products to help our customers learn about Japan and the Japanese language! Whether you’re just starting out or you’re ready to move onto the next level, we carry the latest items to help you learn the Japanese language.

PROMO CODES CAN I USE MY PROMO CODE ONLINE? Yes, you can. Simply enter the promo code in the Promo Code box during your online checkout. HOW MANY PROMO CODES CAN I USE? You can only use one promo code per order, and some promo codes can only be used one time per customer. Some promo codes can also only be used through our website. This is generally due to specific date or manufacturer requirements, which cannot be imposed on mail-in orders. Please review the promo code restrictions to see if it can be applied to your order. MAIL-IN ORDERS I WENT TO YOUR WEBSITE TO ORDER, BUT I DON’T HAVE A CREDIT CARD. HELP! Should you prefer to use the website to select items, you can actually use it to place an order by mail! Simply select all of the items you want and place them in your cart. When you proceed to checkout, print out the cart page with everything already added up for you (no more calculators!) and send this to us by mail with your payment.

Online promo codes are not valid on mail-in orders. Why do you hold my order for 12 days when I pay by check? Even with all this cool technology, checks can still require at least 12 days to clear. WHAT’S THIS NSF CHARGE? “Non-Sufficient Funds” means that your check bounced. There is a $25 charge for all returned checks. Once you have bounced a check, all further orders must be paid for by either credit card or money order. DO I NEED TO ADD SALES TAX? We collect tax only in Iowa. PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU TAKE VISA / MASTERCARD / DISCOVER / JCB / AMERICAN EXPRESS? Yes to all. About the only plastic that we don’t take are standard ATM and gasoline cards. If you’re paying by credit card, we will use tools to detect fraud to check your payment, and we may contact you to obtain additional details for security purposes.

In fact, we prefer to do this to ensure that you actually receive your order. We require that you include the business’ name in the address so your delivery person can get your package to you.

GANTZ HORIMIYA Let’s not overstate this: Horimiya is my favorite shojo series of all time. It’s a good ideal for what most shojo series aim to be. The characters have actual personality, and rather than this series being a cheesy, we-love-each-other-immediately romance, this story is a slice-of-life, daily interaction of how the two characters come close together. I have recommended this series to all of my shojo-loving friends, and not a single one has felt anything less than love for this series. – Kelsey G.
