I found some images of this shop online (about a year ago - I actually saved the pics on my drive as it was neat to see such a store), and it looks like an amazing place to browse through. It is pretty interesting to think that something like this still exists, with actual bins of anime on laserdisc, here in the States. Little shops like this are time-warps, and I would bet that these discs were marked at full retail up until this sale (thus accounting for the fact that they still have all of the discs you observed unsold, long after the days of LD). Too bad I'm on the other coast...

Those pictures are pretty great. Akihabara used to have shops that looked just like this, but they closed over 10 years ago. This is probably one-of-a-kind worldwide!

but even now there are so few of the early 70s and 80s anime on DVD, also the packaging is just horrible on the DVDs i don't even bother. Anime DVD cover art was far from universally bad back then, at least for the higher-profile recent-make releases of the day. perhaps it's merely just my sort of thing, but this is always what invariably comes first and foremost to mind whenever i think of particularly striking, winsome Anime video cover art;
