This shop is located within the Mitsuwa Marketplace Plaza and is much larger than the location at the West L.A. Mitsuwa. There’s a larger selection of DVDs and especially BluRays of Japanese movies. There’s an entire wall of Korean and Japanese dramas as well as the latest episodes from various Japanese shows. DVDs can be rented or purchased and the majority of the product in here are burned DVDs. Most movies sell for $ 9-​$ 12, which is crazy cheap for Japanese movies. The also have tiered purchased options, so if you buy 2 DVDs, the cost is $ 17, 3 DVDs is $ 24, etc. I don’t know how they’ve stayed in business this long selling burned copies of movies and TV shows. I do know that their West L.A. location has recently cut back on the number of copies per show that they sell. Interesting to see how long this place stays open.

This business is located inside he Mitsuwa Japanese Market. I come here to eat in the food court when it is not completely overrun with patrons. I often like to stop in this dvd store. They have a fairly good collection of dvd’s, probably pirated (though I have no proof) but they sell for $ 10 each. They have Manga and Japanese movies which are subtitled.
