Anime vending machines
It has become one of those oft-repeated pieces of urban lore that anything that can be purchased in Japan can often be purchased from a vending machine. Although I am enchanted by Japanese vending machines, their contents are sometimes exaggerated. (In my three trips to Japan, I have never seen any of the vending machines selling schoolgirls' unmentionables that, if one is to believe the tales, are ubiquitous throughout the country. I'm not saying that such machines don't really exist, just that they're certainly not everywhere.)
However, it does look like there are anime vending machines. An entry on Gizmodo has images of two such machines that vend anime for your Game Boy Advance. (Source: BoingBoing)
