Hi again, SirChico. I'm situated outside Providence. Around here, there are no anime stores I know about, although there's a place that rents some anime (mostly on VHS) near Brown, and we have a lot of Newbury Comics stores. The one in Warwick (RI) has a fairly decent selection of anime, but it costs.
If you're ever around New London, CT, check out Sarge's Comics, right downtown (it's a tiny downtown, and Sarge's is right on the main street). Sarge's is a lot of fun. They have anime-related items, DVDs, some manga, tons of comic books. The people are incredibly nice there, and they have a big TV setup, so if you find a used DVD you're curious about (or anything open), they'll pop it in for you to take a look at. Very cool. Across the street is a Japanese restaurant. I can't vouch for how good it is, as I haven't eaten there yet. But it does a good business. Something to consider if you're ever passing through on 95 and want a fun pitstop.
Also, you might want to check out the following, which lists some anime/manga stores in the Boston area. Maybe there's something on it you don't know about. See ...
