I wanted to get this one on Blu.

Do any of you experts have any ideas on the best place to get it at a good price. Thanks.

Damn still $30+

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Damn still $30+

anime's are expensive as hell as is, without being BR. I've been waiting for spirited away & a couple others to drop in price a bit and haven't seen them below $20 yet

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yep same reason why my anime collection is very limited. Anime is just to expensive. I like to make sure I actually like the anime before I buy it.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Yeah I guess. Damn these addictions we have.

Too much money to just spend it on something that will only get watched once.

I've seen Maison Ikkoku, but felt that it was too long and drawn out. If you can find it and if you're into romantic comedy/drama anime, one of the all time classics is "Video-Girl-Ai"

I have seen Video Girl AI. It definitely wasn't long and dranw out. In fact, I thought it was a little too short. It has been a long time but I remember enjoying the series.

The thing I liked about Maison Ikkoku is that the two main characters were a little more flawed than in typical anime. The male lead didn't really stand out except that he had a god heart and tended to make choices that put him in hilariously bad situations. While the female lead seemed a little too perfect in the beginning, later developments showed that she tended to be jealous and had difficulty idenitifying her own emotions. Underneath the humor, it was a much more nuanced drama compared to typical japanese fare.

finished off soul eater...on to fruits basket

 

[Chapter 2099]

Well, I FINALLY got a hold of a brand-new Trigun box set for cheap, the OG release from Geneon.

Tonight, I'm beginning this piece of awesomeness. I've watched the first few episodes years back but never followed through with it. I know...I know...It's a classic from what I hear, but better late than never.


Now, all I need is the original boxed set of Cowboy Bebop and I'll be in business!!!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I'm on episode 16 of fruits basket

I just ordered Summer Wars from Amazon. Should be here in a few days.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Watched Summer Wars last night, freaking awesome. Its like matrix meets FLCL. Really awesome story and great animation and funny as well. I laughed a few times and most anime these days even if its supposed to be funny doesnt make me laugh.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

FLCL is on it's way

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Hell yeah, im hyped for some FLCL. I cant wait to watch that masterpiece of nonsense

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Helly yeah, i got my FLCL today. I'll probably watch it tonight or tomorrow night.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Helly yeah, i got my FLCL today. I'll probably watch it tonight or tomorrow night.

I think mine is coming next week sometime

It was a little too short. I wish they made it longer and delved into and expanded on what happened after he saved Ai. I hope they make an anime sequel to that short series.

Another anime series that I'd wish they'd finish, that is totally outside of the romantic genre is "Sword of the Berserker." That was an awesome series, though it got kind of weird at the end.

Battle angel Alita is another one that I'd wish they'd finish, and I hope James Cameron adopts it to film soon!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

FLCL came today

I've been watching Witchblade. Happy so far. Masane is a trip.

Is High School of the Dead like Ikki Tousen with zombies? Or does it have more substance than that?

I thought witchblade was ok, but not great, high school of the dead is definitely worth the watch
