Topic: If you had $200 to spend on anime...

And you owned NOTHING. What would you buy?

Why yes, I am asking for recommendations on what to ask for for a birthday present

Note $200 is about what I will have to spendm or about the limits of what I could ask for, so I need to know what, if any, sets I could buy based off this.

I own two DVDs so far -- the first Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD (with episodes 1-4. Liked it) and Excel Saga (first dvd, second on the way. Loved it.)

So...what to buy?

Macross Plus 4 episode OVA (not the movie) if you like mecha stuff, Record of the Lodoss War if you like fantasy stuff

3x3 eyes is decent
so is Blue Seed
Trigun
Armitage movies
Bubblegum Crisis *get series both if you can
i liked some of the Harlok saga stuff (galaxy express 999)
thats pretty much all of the better stuff i have seen, and can think of at the moment

I agree with the Trigun Box Set idea. Since I was practically broke, I had to buy the Trigun DVD's one at a time. Of course, Gunsmith Cats is a good series too, even if there is only 1 DVD in the series!

Psst, get the Trigun Perfect Collection, 3 discs instead of 6. You don't get all the individual boxes for each of the original 6 discs, but its only around 50-60 bucks as opposed to the 150 boxed set. ^.^

HUH?? But, I can only find 3 VHS tabes w/ one episode each, and when i found the DVD, it had all 3 eps on one DVD! Bulletproof? Is that a movie? Thanks for the info!

Lain, Oh My Goddess, Iria, Vampire Princess Miyu, Record of Lodoss War.

Maybe start collecting slayers or Vision of Escaflowne.

Want more descriptive type recommendations? Go here. The prices aren't listed, but most of them say how many tapes there are.

I suggest tracking down the boxed set of Record of Lodoss War, for serious fantasy stuff.

If you want something sillier, track down the first season of Ranma 1/2 boxed set.

If you shop around, you might be able to get both for about $200.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

www. cookiejarvideo.com (if I complete the url it says invalid html tag cookie,cant post, just delete the space) has the same stuff but cheeper, ive ordered form them twice so far, it came fast and everything, www.import-anime.com has reviews for hk dvds such as the ones they sell at discountanimedvd.com , you should check before you buy because some hks are realy bad quality

1) Eva series box set + Eva movie box set

Or

Bastard! if you can find it cheap and subbed. I hear the dub is terrible.

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust should be purchased first. Best soundtrack of any anime, incredible animation, and a fine dub. If I don't watch Bloodlust once or twice a week the withdrawl pains start.
