We will continue to update this gallery as more retailers announce their Black Friday anime and manga deals. As such, the specific advised discount for each series may change over time, as each store tends to offer different prices on similar items. Also keep in mind that some stores that sell anime--like Best Buy and Target--will open and close at different times on Black Friday, so it's best to plan ahead if you know you're going to be shopping from a specific outlet.

Action Series

There's never a dull moment in an action anime, as anything from magic to the living undead transform the lives of ordinary people into a never-ending series of explosive battles. Action anime are typically also fairly funny, using humor to lighten the mood between fights.
One such series is Trinity Seven, an anime about a high school boy, named Arata, who joins a magical school in order to learn how to control his powerful abilities. Arata is flippantly open about his opinions and feelings, which leads to him getting into a few problems with the Trinty Seven, the seven girls at his school who each embody one of the seven deadly sins.
If you're looking for something a little more serious, take advantage of Sentai Filmworks' Black Friday deal for Princess Principal. The anime follows five girls who live in a steampunk Great Britain and work as spies trying to topple the royal family. During the day, they attend a prestigious school for young ladies, and by night they hunt down and torture, kill, and spy on the corrupt nobility.

Comedy Series

This Black Friday, Engaged to the Unidentified Complete Collection, the Blu-ray for one of the funniest romantic comedies out there, is going on sale. The series focuses on Kobeni, a girl who finds out on her 16th birthday that her grandfather has engaged her to a young boy who lives in a village in the mountains. As she begins to live with her fiance and his energetic younger sister, Kobeni begins to realize that the family she's marrying into aren't exactly human.
If you prefer your comedy to be fast-paced, then take advantage of the Black Friday deal for Student Council's Discretion or Tonari No Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time. Both shows focus on contained tongue-in-cheek skits as opposed to an overarching story. Discretion follows a student council that's filled with weirdos that engage in numerous hijinks, while Killing Time is about a young girl who watches the boy next to her in class come up with numerous ways to not pay attention to the teacher.

If you want to be scared, but you need something cute to cleanse your mind between moments of horror, then go for School Live. You definitely want to go into that anime with as little knowledge beforehand as possible.

Fantasy Series

This Black Friday, several fantasy anime are going on sale as well. Although it's not as popular as Sword Art Online, Log Horizon is a great fantasy anime to watch if you love video games. The anime follows Shiro, a young man who's become locked in a virtual reality video game with hundreds of other people and no way to log out. However, instead of acquiring followers through his explosive power like SAO's Kirito, Shiro decides to use his mind to find ways of controlling the game's governments and economy.
If you like Log Horizon, chances are you'll like Maoyu too. The anime follows several characters, but mostly focuses on a hero who is chosen to defeat the demon king and their army. However, when he meets the king, she turns out to be not very demonic and she convinces the hero to work with her behind the scenes of their fellow kingdoms in order to ensure both sets of people survive the war.

Romance Series

Momokuri might be one of the funniest romance anime out there, and that's largely because it subverts viewers' expectations. In Momokuri, it's the girl who's a perverted stalker and the boy who's shy and blushing all the time. The anime is full of the adorable misunderstandings associated to the romantic comedy genre, much to the chagrin of the characters.
If you take advantage of any romance anime Black Friday deal this year, though, you'll want to buy the complete collection of Maid-Sama! from Sentai Filmworks. Normally priced at $100 or higher, the Blu-ray can be bought from Sentai for $14. Maid-Sama! is one of the most popular shojo manga ever, and the anime based on it perfectly captures the hilarious romance between the smooth Usui and loud-mouthed Ayuzawa.

Slice Of Life Series

The genre of slice of life isn't seen in many mediums outside of anime--think along the same lines as Seinfeld for the closest western comparison. As the name implies, they usually showcase a sliver in the life of a particular person or group of people.
In most cases, this is done to create a relaxing show that's easy to binge through and pretty much almost anyone can enjoy, like One Week Friends, Love Lab, and Outbreak Company--all of which have excellent Black Friday sales this year. However, slice of life anime can also be used to teach the viewer a lesson. The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, for example, is an emotional rollercoaster about a couple of ordinary students living in a dorm that's designed for those who are born geniuses, and the anime is one long message about how life is just unfair but that doesn't mean it's not worth living to the fullest.

Tragedy Series

Grab plenty of tissues if you decide to take advantage of any Black Friday deals for tragic anime. As of right now, the only major Black Friday deal for tragedy anime we've found is for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. The show is really good, and absolutely worth experiencing if you haven't already.
Just forewarning, this anime is devastatingly sad. It's about three people--two siblings and the woman they run into--working together to find their way home to their loved ones after an earthquake wrecks Tokyo. Normally priced at $70, Sentai Filmworks is selling the Blu-ray for $19.

Mystery

Hyouka is a one of anime's many modern retellings of Sherlock Holmes. Series protagonist Oreki is a pragmatic high school student with a natural talent for deduction. Much to his annoyance, the energetic Eru is fascinated by his ability and ropes him into helping her solve mysteries across the city. The two are joined by Oreki's best friend Satoshi, who has an amazing memory, and childhood acquaintance Mayaka, who harbors animosity for Oreki and feelings for Satoshi.

Drama

Sharing several themes with tragic anime, the most notable difference with dramatic anime is typically the happier ending. That doesn't mean these shows are any less emotional to get through, and quite a few are just as sad as a tragedy for touching on triggering content and events, such as bullying, self-harm, suicide, and gender discrimination.
Orange is a perfect example. The series follows high school girl Naho, who receives a letter one day that claims to be from her future self. The letter lists all of Naho's future regrets, as well as how to avoid them. Most notable is the regret that she didn't do more to befriend Kakeru, a new transfer student that will supposedly commit suicide in the near future. The anime follows Naho's efforts to save Kakeru's life, as well as improve her own by overcoming her own shortcomings outlined in the letter.

Manga And Light Novels

Although some anime are created as an original series, most are adapted from manga, light novels, or video games. Manga, Japan's versions of comics, and light novels, which are just bite-sized versions of full-fledged novels, are the two usual inspirations.
Below are some of the better Black Friday deals for manga and light novels, many of which have already been turned into anime. Both Land of the Lustrous and That Time I Go Reincarnated As A Slime are now anime, for example, with 2017's Lustrous regarded as one of the best anime ever that use CGI and 2018's Slime one of the better anime of the year.
