Alright everyone, this is where I need the org's help.

I have the money to buy an anime series, but I don't know what to get, so please leave your opinions.

1. Gasaraki
2. ArgentoSoma
3. Final Fantasy Unlimited

Final Fantasy Unlimited will UNBELIVABLY disappoint you. Trust me on that.

I only saw the first 5 episodes of Argentosoma, but I felt like this could be a good rental; the whole premise seemed very cliched, but the execution is pretty refreshing.

Gasaraki is very character driven and has pretty heavy plot; it practically requires you to stay awake and pay close attention at what's going on. The result is very rewarding (though I need to finish up that series).

My input, go for Gasaraki.

the only one ive even heard about was Final Fantasy Unlimited, and what i heard wasnt good, so flip a coin between the two

I've got the whole series of argentosoma on dvd. Its good, worth the $180 I payed for it. Theirs a reviewhere. The finaly fnatasy anime I've heard is crap, and I've wanted to get gasaraki for a long time, but never had the money for the box set.

I love Final Fantasy, and I hate that stupid FF anime. So I put in another vote for "not FF Unlimited". It is unbelievably bad. And boring. And annoying, and aside from summons and chocobos, not very FF-like.

Gasaraki is very deep and annoying at times. And the ending is...hrm. But I liked it.

Argentosoma is very action driven and has a plot that seems to go nowhere, but finally gets smoving and ends up with a very satisfying (if strange) ending.

If you're into weirdness: Gasaraki.
If your more into action: Argentosoma.

Avoid FFU like the plague it is.

I'm one of the few people that actually likes FF unlimited

But out of those three, I would suggest Gasaraki. It has far more depth and intrigue than either FFU or Argentosoma, plus the action in it is really kick-ass. An almost semi-realistic look at mecha (at least in the beginning). But it also ends up getting kinda weird toward the end.

Get Gasaraki, it's an awesome series, very intense on the political drama side. It also has a character who is obviously inspired by Rei Ayanami, but that doesn't hurt either.

Ah, can't say 'nay' to being a minority.
Vote: Final Fantasy Unlimited.
It's not that bad or bad at all.
If you really like/love Final Fantasy then you'll probably like/love this.
I've a friend that loves this anime, just this one.
