Probably not. These are American DVD's, therefore you would need to know
if they are region locked and which regions they are locked to.

When buying US DVD's from the UK, the basic guidelines are;

1. Make sure that you have the equipment to view the DVD's. This means
that you need to have a player that can play across regions, and a setup
that can handle any analogue flubbery that will most likely be included
(i.e. NTSC at 525 lines/60Hz). If you can't then don't even bother.

2. Make sure that you have the relevant method to pay for it. If the
dealer concerned is in the US, for example, then they will require paying
in US Dollars, and they don't particularly like exchanging. Security is
another issue so, if you are thinking of exercising your plastic pal
(who's fun to be with) then be prepared to go through a few hoops such as
providing some sort of proof of ownership of the card in question.

3. Select a good supplier. Some suppliers have picked up bad reputations
over the years for faffing people about. Try and get a few recommendations
first. You may want to consider using one of a number of more local
suppliers rather than go direct to the US. There is (or there was, I
haven't looked lately) a shopping guide on the Britanime site
(www.ryouko.demon.co.uk/britanim.htm).

4. If in doubt, ask. The group uk.media.animation.anime is one place to
start.
