I need help deciding.

[Rei-San]

I'm relly starting to get into anime. My mom said I can only get a couple of anime DVD for Christmas. Problem is I can't desaid what. What Anime series or OAV should I get. I'm considering the following:

Rurouni Kenshin
Ranma 1/2
Love Hina (or any other with hot girls in it.)
One of the Inuyasha movies.

I am open for any other sugestions.

Hellsing, Berserk, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun...

X the series - good story line.
Chrno Crusade - if it's out in the US.
Evangelion - a classic
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Bomberman Jetterz - great story development (if it's out in US)
Tenchi series/movies
Akira
Vampire hunter D movies
Ghost in the shell movies/series
Gundam series - I prefer the wing series
Ninja Scroll
Last Exile
Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi
Ah My Goddess.

Just a few to help you.

I'm assuming she knows that several of those have topless girls, yes? If not you might get more of a surprise than you bargained for.

Anyway, Ranma 1/2 is good, I like the manga myself, but there are 7 seasons (Pretty sure 7, might just be 6) which could mean a hefty investment over time.

I am not sure how comfortable you are with more girl oriented comedies, but Azumanga Daioh is absolutely hilarious. That happens to be the only complete anime that I have but I am very satisfied with it. It is however one of the cases where the Japanese voice actors are far less damaging to the ears than the English dubs.

And, of course, FLCL is always a good option. Just two DVDs total, for six episodes, it makes for a good laugh every now and again. It is more difficult to find at stores (at least here) but is consistantly available at the various online retailers (like Amazon.com). Again, it is a good, short, series that if anything is just a 'always gets recommended show'. Plus, the soundtrack is pretty darn good to boot.

For the last time, i'm a guy. >_>; I'm just Eccentric.

Thanks for the sugestions though. Any other Thoughts?

by she, he meant your mom.

some good ones are trigun, Gundam wing, Outlaw star
And i HIGHLY RECOMMEND Full Metal Panic. It is the perfect combination of a hilarious love comedy and a mobile suit action show. take the word love lightly, it's not like that.

Finally! another Hellsing fan. If you want an anime about a good, strong, smart vampire this is the one to get. The main person is Alucard (spell it backwards and it's dracula). Alucard uses 2 guns, a 13mm Jackal and a 454. Cassull (2 amazing handguns). Overall it's a pretty good show, great affects. I'm a guy, if I could be anyone in the world, it would be Alucard. He has it all, power, skill, intelligence, immortatlity, and a hot (for anime stuff) apprentice. Check 1 or 2 of them out, I think it would be best to check out the 2nd, 3rd or 4th DvD, the first has the least amount of action.

azumanga daioh.

[roygbiv]

I happen to be a full metal panic fan...

I am not sure how I feel about buying anime... I usually don't want to watch a series more than once...


Hmm... Ranma is pretty good, but fairly episodic so there is really no harm in not getting every single episode released... (also though it has it's moments it kind of gets repetitive)

From the episode I watched of Love Hina... I thought it was awful... but it might also be the fact that I am not easily impressed by pretty girls...

From what I saw of X, it seemed pretty good...

I want to recommend some crazy robot show... but I can't really think of anything off the top of my head...

His and her circumstances x]
Great anime, terrible endinglast few episodes, pointless episode recaps, but GREAT anime...
