Black Friday 2018 is getting closer, and a few retailers have already started posting deals online. Among the discounts are Black Friday deals for anime Blu-rays and box sets.
Sentai Filmworks is the first major retailer to specifically announce Black Friday anime deals, lowering the prices of its online store's 600+ titles by up to 85% and offering free shipping on all orders that are $75 or more. The website is kicking things off with a pre-Black Friday celebration, so you can take advantage of all the Sentai Filmworks deals right now. We've outlined the more noteworthy discounts in the following gallery, and divided each series into categories.
We will continue to update this gallery as more retailers announce their Black Friday anime 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.
Box Sets

Box sets are specialized collections of different anime that typically include the full season or the entire series of a show, as well as exclusive physical items like art books, CD soundtracks, collector's pins, and more. As such, box sets typically run anywhere between $100 and $200 on average.
Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? Premium Box set is one of the better deals this Black Friday. Normally priced around $140, you can buy the box set for $38 during Sentai Filmworks' pre-Black Friday and Black Friday sales. The set includes the popular series about a young adventurer who delves into a dangerous dungeon in order to become stronger and impress the woman who saved his life, and the comedic hijinks that occur between him and almost every other female he meets.

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 few a 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.

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.

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.
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. 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.

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.
