I for one am a *huge* anime fan... I hate the phrase "otaku," but I guess it does apply to me (my library includes 300 dvds/videos/vcds ).

I was wondering... is there anyone else into anime on the boards?

Yeah, me. Currently watching the Rurouni Kenshin series (Samurai X), I'm up to episode 58. It's an awesome series.

I love the kenshin OVAs... but the series never really piqued my interest... I did enjoy a lot of the Kyoto arc, but not much else... The fights were really good, though, and I'm looking forward to the new OVAs released recently in Japan.

I just finished watching Now and Then, Here and There. It is an amazing series... art at its best. I *highly* recommend dropping everything you're doing right now and go out and buy it... beware, it's a bit emotionally ravaging, and there are some disturbingly real events that happen throughout the series. It's a great deal too, 13 episodes spread over 3 discs.

I am, but I can't afford to buy many DVDs. I'm too busy buying Lord of the Rings figures or DVD TV series.

The one DVD I *do* own is "Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise." I do want to get both Patlabor movies (I have both on tape), eventually I'm getting all the Robotech series (okay, it's not anime but gimme a freebie on this one--I grew up with that show) and I would like to get Record of Lodoss War someday.

I guess I'm not a die-hard fan but I do like the genre, especially when it's good.

I think if you're a non-Japanese that knows what "otaku" means, you are one!

EDITED: Misread your post!

I'm not sure whether that was an insult or if you were being sarcastic... In Japan, it's an insult. That's why I hate the term...

I was gonna say 'me', but listening to you guys I'll have to downsize that to an occasional o/s movie collector. Altho, as a query does anyone know anywher I can get hold of the Vampire Hunter D sequel, they reviewed it on sci-fi then it kinda fell off the map!

Vampire Hunder D: Bloodlust is one of the most mainstream titles out there. You could find it at any decent Best Buy or Media Play/Suncoast Motion Picture. I've even seen it at Wal-Mart! For $16.00, no less! Can't get a better deal than that.

This one's for Furyfire...

I was kinda looking for a more internetty kind of purchasing format. We don't have many Wal-marts in Britain.

They have... well... the best prices. I'm not sure if they ship internationally.
