About Us


From the team that runs Gundam Mad comes a new webstore dedicated to bringing rare and exciting anime titles and collectables to the wider anime community. Husband and wife team Gurinder and Lindsey have been an active part of the anime community for a number of years and those of you that attended events regularly may have met them running either the Gundam Mad or Manga booths. This new website aims to bring those DVD, Blu-Ray, and other optical media titles (many of which are now out of print) to anime fans in the UK with the usual care and quality service that Gundam Mad brings.
