Photon rocks my socks. I just watched the DVD. It was really funny.

Escaflowne, Hyper Police and Rune Soldier.

Escaflowne is just all around good. I can't understand why i haven't gotten around to watching it again and finishing the series.

Hyper Police is a sci-fi comedy. Take one cat girl with the ability to shoot powerful lightening bolts. Add one Kitsune who want's to steal the said cat girl's power so she can grow her last 2 1/2 tails. Make 'em both partners in the bounty hunting business and throw them into a crime infested city of human and demi-humans. It's one of my personal favorites.

For a quick synopsis of Rune Soldier. I give you this link: http://carnage.fanfic.org/louie.html I tell you this, this series kicks ass, but it's new so don't expect to find it as cheap as Escaflowne or Hyper Police.

Well most anime is priced the same, from the best to the worst, if that's what you're asking. As for what to buy, I'd look through the STICKY of the best anime and the topic called "your three favorites". Find anything that's not on TV and go from there. I personnally own three series myself: Excel Saga, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Steel Angel Kurumi. All worth their money.

Oh yea, just incase. I assumed that buying excel saga was a given. I mean, the series kicks ass, and it kicks the most ass with the ad vid notes.

Berserk is worth picking up, especially since you can get the entire six-disc series for under $100.

Best Buyable Anime depends on preference really. But heres my picks.

If you like Martial Arts...I'd suggest snagging Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rouroni Kenshin. Yu Yu, becuase its the only anime, to beat out DBZ, IN JAPAN, IN ITS PRIME in popularity, The fight scenes are generally nicely done, and Yusuke is a decent Hero/Anti-hero mix. Hes a Younger, Non-Smoking(unless you read the manga), shorter version of spike speigel in terms of attitude.

Rouroni Kenshin, is just plain nice...but, of course judging from my name, you'd know I'd suggest that.

For Randomness: FLCL...becuase that anime rocks so hard, I can't even come up with a word for it.

and finally...Cowboy Bebop. Becuase that also rocks mighty FN Hard.

Bastard! Everything can be solved with magic! The anime isn't bad, but the manga is much, much better.

I would also recommend Gensomaden Saiyuki and Naruto. Both of these own.

Go Genkigangar III!! w00t, Nadesico is also one of my favorites. Have you seen the Nadesico movie?

If you like mecha, then RahXephon is pretty good. Lupin the 3rd is good for wackiness (cars driving on cliff walls??).

If you can find it, I'll offer Witch Hunter Robin -- I say offer because I've only seen a couple of episodes, but it struck be as similar to X in terms of style. (X is also greatness, but very dark)
