Saw this big brick of DVDs going for relatively cheap down at best buy. The shots on the back look good and the description sounds interesting, but I'm just feeling timid (wish I could rent this stuff!)
Any thoughts on this thing? I'm not into overly silly or cliched anime, thought the little bit I've read about this series sounds like neither of those words would describe it.

There's a good reason it's going cheap, and it ain't because BestBuy thinks it's so good everyone should own it no matter what their budget.

Boogiepop is definitely far from being silly... and it's relly not too cliched. I only watched the first episode and it didn't spark enough interest to warrant getting the whole series. It's this dark story about people being possessed by monsters if I remember correctly.... I think why I didn't like it was the blah mute colors sort of like Serial Experiments Lain or Witch Hunter Robin.

Well.. if you really want to ask me. I'd say download a few episodes on Kazaa and find out for yourself if you really want to buy the box set or not. o_O Can't hurt to download it for free and see. I have the first episode... didn't strike my fancy right away. But I also wouldn't call it the worst thing I've ever seen.

I actually liked the series a lot, but I was also a big fan of Lain, so it can be assumed that I enjoy work in that vein.

I didn't like Lain (Though I have never finished it...), but I thought Boogiepop Phantom was a really well written series. It does get rather confusing though... and it took me quite a few episodes before I was able to piece together even a little bit of what was going on.
