If you could get any boxed set for Christmas....

This forum is for the general discussion of Anime.

Comedy:

Trigun (although it does get much more serious about halfway through. A personal favorite)

Slayers (A few sexual references, but you never see anything, and it's all in good fun. Overall a hilarious show all the way through.)

Drama/Serious:

Gasaraki (Haven't seen the whole thing yet, but it's a good show. It's a more realistic take on the mecha genre.)

Boogiepop Phantom (Excellent series. It has one of the most interesting storylines I've seen in awhile, and while it starts off a bit scattered, it comes together beautifully in the end. Highly Recommended)

Serial Experiments: Lain (Strange. Very, very strange. It's a good show, but don't watch it unless you're really in the mood to sit and ponder over the deeper meaning of things.)

That's about all I can think of at the moment.

Box Set

I recommend the Rose of Versailles Box set. But it's $250 for each so a total of $500 for the complete set. You also have to import it from Japan.

But they arn't likely to do so. I then would recommend Trigun.

Well, I can borrow Bebop, NGE, Lain, and Trigun, so I"m pretty good on everyone's favorites. I'm thinking about Love Hina. There are no big sexual references there, are there?

Also, is FLCL any good at all? I know I"m complimenting AD when I say that his Shameless Rock Video made me want to watch the series. It looks beautifully drawn. Is it as good as AD makes it look?

I'm trying to decide between FLCL and Love Hina, as those both seem to be pretty popular. Thanks a lot!

To the last of what I heard, FLCL doesn't have a box set yet. It's only 3 dvd's anyway, but I dont think they are all out yet. Kinda tough to get it for christmas if it's not released. I don't know about Love Hina, but I think there are 1 or 2 more volumes to be released as well.

What type of series are you looking for? Maybe then we'd be better help.

Yeah, I too first watched the Shameless Rock Video, and then got addicted to FLCL! It's really great, and strange, but always funny or with a deeper meaning. One can't really explain it, because the action is so fast-paced, and there are sooo many subtitble to read (especially in the manga scene)...
Also I have only seen the first 3 episodes so far... but they kick major ass!

Too sad that there isn't and box set of FLCL out...

Peace out,

EVA all the way of course.
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star (the nude stuff was only like one episode.... :) ahh the memories)
Hellsing
Keshin (or the BEAST as I call it)
Berserk(when its done)
Boogiepop phantom

Of course if someone said stop dicking around and pick one I would of course pick the BEAST. If I can get that massive thing for christmas, and not pay for it, the rest will seem like an easy buy.
