You've heard it all before, how many independent and public services need support from their patrons to survive. Once in a while, each will have a sort of "begging rally" to help meet expenses. Here at AD, we still do accept donations with much appreciation; however, we figured that we could give a little in return as well.

Affiliation with retail outlets is a method in which many independent web sites draw benefits from. Here's how it works: If a reader clicks on an ad banner linking to the affiliate's store (for example), and then makes a purchase, a small percentage of the proceeds benefits the web site. Retail outlets love affiliations, because it's a good way to get more traffic to their store. Anime Dream has two such affiliations: one with The Right Stuf, Inc., and one with AnimeNation.

Clicking on our ad banners first, then making a purchase helps AD with much-needed funds, but we've decided to take it a bit further, in the interest of our readers. Now, we've provided a convenient way to browse future and soon-to-be-released anime via our release dates list, and you can now preorder the item by clicking the link under the item's release date. Preorder link purchases are handled by The Right Stuf, and they have the benefit of offering you a nice deal on the items you're looking forward to. Right Stuf's prices for items are typically several dollars less than the retail price displayed on our release dates list, and using our links to purchase the items helps us host our site. It's a win-win! We also have similar links on our soundtracks reviews, and soon, we'll have them on the video reviews pages too.

You can find information on the various ways you can help support our site by clicking the "Support AD" button above the navigation bar.

We at Anime Dream thank you sincerely for your continuing support of our site.
