Sage's Bootleg Haul(!!!)

[Sage Shinigami]

Okay, as I have alluded to in a few scattered posts, while I was in school this last semester, I had the pleasure of being in two computer classes for four straight hours. Because I'm on dial-up at home (I can't get broadband at my house yet, unfortunately), I decided to use this to my advantage. With a few blank CDs, and a 1GB flash drive, I managed to collect, and burn to DVD, the following:

Slayers 1-26
Divergence Eve 1-13
Dual! Parallel Adventure Trouble 1-13
Noir 1-26
Gasaraki 1-26
Jin-Roh
Ghost in the Shell (the movie)
Video Girl Ai (the one shoujo ANYTHING I've ever liked)
Iria: Zeiram the Animation
FLCL
Shaman King 1-25
Rurouni Kenshin 1-95
Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 1-26
Scryed 1-26
Irresponsible Captain Tylor 1-26
FMA 1-52, missing 22-26, 38, 45, 49 and 51 :disappoin :disappoin :disappoin
GunxSword 1-26
Melody of Oblivion 1-24
Grenadier 1-12
Mouse 1-12
Shinkon Gattai Godannar 1-26

I also have (not yet burned to DVD):

Mai-HiMe 1-26
Sokyuu no Fafner 1-26, minus 22-24




Now, as much as I would like it to be, this is not a bragging thread. (But it is awesome that I got all this in the space of five months given my conditions, right?) Instead, this is a "what should I watch first", thread.

I'd appreciate any help you guys can give, thanks.

Well... being an absolute lover of sCRYed, I'm going to be a completely biased mofo and say you should watch that first. :3

It has it moments... has some nice battles and a few dramatic moments.

... of course, it doesn't really help when the only other thing I've come into contact from your list is Rurouni Kenshin. It's even less help when that contact has been manga only. :'(

I've seen Scryed already. (And yes, well before Adult Swim ever thought about airing it.) Both me and my girlfriend love that anime.

I remember dial-up. I had a bandwidth meter on my computer. I usually managed to download a GB a day... my poor hard drive. I'm impressed with what you managed to do at school. :laugh:

Out of everything you've listed I've only (partially) watched:

Noir
FMA
Shaman King
Kenshin
FLCL

I think out of the above I only finished Noir, and it was pretty awesome, so I guess that's what I'd recommend. I stopped somewhere in the middle of FMA, but it was good. Shaman King was fun from what I remember, Kenshin was okay I guess (don't remember it really), and all I remember about FLCL is "wah?!"

You should throw divergence eve in the trash its one of the worst animes ever. Other than that pretty nice haul. Although I hated Noir its not that bad just way to slow for me.

That's really not even the complete list. In addition to all that, I managed to get Fate/stay night 1-13, Kamen Rider Kabuto 1-13, Boukenger 1-10, Gransazer 7-16, Gundam Zeta 1-12, and probably some stuff I've forgotten about totally. :laugh: :laugh:

Kenshin's awesome (one of the greatest anime ever created, really), but I saw it just two or three years ago. I didn't finish it, and I've probably forgotten a good deal of it, but I still wanna try something new first.

My girlfriend recommended Noir, but the first episode bored the **** outta me! :laugh: :laugh: It put me to sleep, seriously!

Granted, I'd just finished Scryed, which had one of the most awesome endings ever (if anyone disagrees, they think too hard when watching anime), plus I'm a lot older (and hopefully more mature), so maybe I might be able to finish it this time and enjoy it.

Blah. I've yet to watch it so I can't agree with you. Though all the reviews I've gotten so far for it have given it a B+ to an A-. Even the incredibly jaded-towards-anything-that-isn't-mindnumblingly-shoujo ANN.
