, posted Sun 31 Mar 15:29
I've always really wanted to get into anime, but a combination of how expensive it usually is, not really knowing a lot about most movies/series, and a boycott of Blockbuster for firing me when I worked there for no good reason, stopped me.  But I just recently got a PS2, and a female friend I work with told me she's interested in seeing some anime, so we decided we'd go rent some on DVD. She really wanted to see Vampire Hunter D (as did I), but it wasn't in at the Blockbuster she went to, so pretty much on a whim, she picked out Vampire Princess Miyu (the first three episodes of the TV series), and, well... we both thought it pretty much sucked. 
I see you guys discussing anime here pretty often, and you all seem quite knowledgeable on the subject, so I figured I'd ask here - what's some anime you guys suggest we should watch, that you can get from a rental place?
By the way, I've already seen a lot of the "mainstream" stuff, like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, and Fist of the North Star.
Thanks!

I think it depened on your personality
what do you like? comedy action Drama?
as I think you are in the US and working for BlockBuster ? I don't know what about your city BlockBuster but mine have a very few anime! most of them either old, or not good.
the best anime at block buster is Vampire Hunter D Blood lust.
again it depends on your town blockbuster.
they guys here ROCK in the anime section they will guide you to something you will like!
I'm really liken Vandread. Classic wise. Ninja Scroll,Akira, Tenchi OAV/OVA,Cowboy Bebop,Evangelion. My Favs are FLCL, Escaflowne, Evangelion,Vandread,Cowboy Bebop,Macross. But, it comes down to personality.

Oh. Rental, huh? Forget about Kodocha, Akazukin Cha Cha and To Heart because you can only get those series via fansub!
It all depends on what type of anime are you looking for.

the ones I think are really awsome:
1-Kenshin(as my anime experince this is the best one)
2-Berserk(if you are a guy and like alot of blood don't miss this one)
3-Slayers(comedy)
4-Escaflowne(Drama/Action),Evangelion(drama/action)
these are my fav., see what fits you and you will be hooked in no time!
Unless you have an anime rental store (like I was lucky enough to have in augusta) then you are gonna have to buy, and as such, I recommend Rurouni Kenshin (of course), the Fatal Fury and Fatal Fury 2 OVAs (the movies ok too, but 2 is the best!), Slayers, Record of Lodoss War OVAs, Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight (TV), Cowboy Bebop (which you can see on Saturday nights on Cartoon Network, as well as some other good anime, if you don't want to buy it. Of course on there it will be edited), Street Fighter (not the series or the Alpha movie, but the Street Fighter anime movie), Gunsmith Cats OVA, Oh My Goddess OVAs...there a lot of others, that is just some, I probably left out some really good ones too, I'm sure someone else will cover it...a lot of people here like Love Hina, I still have to see it....I also like Burn Up W (All the episodes are on one DVD if you have a DVD player). That's about it from me for now. Oh, did I mention Kenshin (he he, I sure did). Rurouni Kenshin is personally my favorite anime.
