Buying a few DVDs...

Khelath · 2 Sep 2004

Hey,

I have recently come into some money (found my old wallet under bed ) and am going to purchase some Anime DVD's are there any you guys can suggest, I have found some that appeal to me but know nothing about them;

-Appleseed
-Full metal panic
-Beserk
-Samurai X

Also I love animes with over the top animation and crazy characters above all else.

Thanks for the help.

That depends on what kind of anime you are interested in, so we can start recommending..

Do you like stuff by Studio Ghibli? My favourite!!!
Are you into "down-to-earth" anime also? (as opposed to sci-fi, warriors etc??), because there are several good ones, I can recommend if you are into that kind of anime...

-Tokyo Godfathers
-ALL by Studio Ghibli, especially "Grave of the Fireflies", "Spritied Away"

I could recommend more....but I wanna know your "taste" first.

umm, you've probably a big fan of dragonball then...

from those 4, i only vaguely know of Berserk, and you should read the manga first as its much more complete. from what I've seen, its really good. (but really dark)

Evangelion is pretty over the top (but very good), but its also pretty wierd for some people, and isn't all about fighting...

Trigun is great: a funny over the top thing... about a guy with a $60,000,000,000 bounty on his head who is a bit-of-a-retard.

Hunter X Hunter... Not really like the ones you mentioned, but really cool (my fave anime).

Since youre into futuristic anime (or so I assume), you should at least download cowboy bebop. Simply the best in my opinion.
if you want to buy, Amazon.com: Cowboy Bebop - The Perfect Sessions (Limited Edition Complete Series Boxed Set): Kôichi Yamadera, Unshô Ishizuka, Megumi Hayashibara, Steve Blum, Beau Billingslea, Kevin Seymour, Wendee Lee, Isshin Chiba, Melissa Fahn, Aoi Tada, Hiroshi Naka, Tsutomu Tareki, Hirokazu Yamada, Ikurô Satô, Kunihiro Mori, Tetsuya Watanabe, Yoshiyuki Takei, Akihiko Inari, Dai Satô, Keiko Nobumoto: Movies & TV for a good price (region 1). Also has link to trigun on amazon.

(you can check out all the info on www.imdb.com. just search for what you want... or www.downloadanime.org if its not on IMDB (where you can also download )

I have only seen Samurai X, and i defenitely reccomend it, espeically if you are going to buy the OVA version. However, chek it out on tne internet on what it is about, but if you have some kind of bundle available for cheap, then i would defenetily buy, again I WOULD, so anways, do sm reasearch before you buy anything, but Kenshin is defenetily a highly acclaimed anime series, almost a classic

Thanks for the help so far guys, I haven't really watched that much anime, living in the U.K. theres not much of it flying about on t.v.

The only ones I've seen and enjoyed are;

-Outlaw Star
-Gundam wing
-Akira

My favourite was Outlaw star, I loved the K-pirates and the grappler ship idea (basically space ships with arms ). Well I'm off to do some research on some anime, does anyone know a site that has a list of manga/anime?

Thanks again.

Edit: Duo@Do you think that ﾂ｣40 is a good price for Samurai X: Trust, Samurai X: Betrayal, Samurai X: The Motion Picture and Samurai X: Reflection?

Try www.Animenation.com - a good and old site on anime, and it has a discussion forum I remember.

Berserk, and Hellsing are really good. Cowboy Bebop is also amongst the best.

Yeah. I think that's a good deal for tha bundle. Only samurai X trust and betrayel are worth that much.

http://store.animearigato.com

Yup. It's the generic name given to Rurouni Kenshin. You know how it is in America, everything has to be X-TREME!!
