The Best Buyable Anime
 

Alright, normally I couldn't buy any Anime DVDs because there weren't any places that sold them near me, and I don't like to order stuff over the internet or through catalogs. But now, a SunPacific just opened up near me, and almost an entire half of their store is based on stuff like anime and manga! The question is, what do I buy first? I want a good anime, but nothing to violent. Blood is okay, but I kind of draw the line at having some mutated demon drink the bloody brains from the skull of a man he had just decapitated moments before. And I'd like something that's a little out that's not too common. I already have stuff like Inuyasha and Cowboy Bebop.

So, what do you people recommend?

Mua ha ha, forget the anime and go for the manga!

*cough cough* Erm. Sorry about that. I'm kinda on a manga craze at the moment.

Hmm... good anime DVDs.... I'm not an expert on it, but I have heard many good things about Escaflowne. I haven't read any of the Escaflowne manga or seen any of the anime, but my friend has and she says it's really good!

Or if you want something more weird, I think Serial Experiment Lain sounds interesting. I've heard good things about that series too.

And then, there's always my current favorite: .Hack. I've only read the manga, but if the anime is anything like the manga, I would assume it's a great series.


And there's the rundown on some good animes. But, as I said, I wouldn't know that much about animes except for their respective mangas and things I've heard. ^^;;

Mua ha ha, forget the anime and go for the manga!

Hey, stop that!

I saw that they had Escaflowne there. I might look into that. I saw an episode of Lain once. It confused me, and I hated it.

I finished watching .Hack on CN on Saturday nights quite a while ago. It was a good anime, but I'm not going to buy it. They did have things like Hellsing.

Mua ha ha, forget the anime and go for the manga!

I told you to stop that! Although, they did have those Ragnarok box sets...

.hack was horible... It took 25 episodes(I think that's the whole series) of random crap to do what 4 episodes could have done... They stretched out that anime more then DBZ does...

Buy future episodes of Inu and Yu Yu, so you don't have to wait for CN to get more episodes(Which will never happen...)

No way. They screwed up the anime? Aw... the manga was really good though.... >_<;;;


But go for the ragnarok boxed set! Would that be manga or anime? ^_^ The manga series is pretty good.

Manga. But I'd like to get an anime DVD. But I just need help deciding.

They have an entire wall covered in Anime DVDs. And it's a big wall. So anything that's out there, I'd like to know.

I would get anime over manga... Why look at still pictures and read, when you can watch and not have to think at all (Unless you have subs, then it's some thinking)

because the mangas are superior! *laughs maniacly*

And you can read mangas anywhere you have enough light, you need a DVD player and a TV to watch anime. ^^; and there's SO many awesome manga series that they haven't made into animes. And usually. like most book-to-movie/tv series (such as lord of the rings, or ANY book that has been turned into a movie or a show) they usually do something that screws it up.

*shrugs* BUT I'm not gonna turn this into a manga vs anime discussion.

I still say go for the manga, but that's just me. Either that or Escaflowne or the later episodes of Inuyasha like IHMN said.

Well, I went and looked around. The Escaflowne stuff didn't have all of them, and the boxed sets they had were WAY too expensive. So, I ended up buying BASTARD!!. Which, according to my profile and avatar, I became attached to. Buy it! Swords, magic, and girls almost naked. Hoo-ya!

I used to believe that manga was better than anime, but I saw how they butchered FCLC in manga form and just let it all go...

Theres a good anime, FLCL...
