Now there's a question and a half. Really, I find it's a game of chance. I'm always looking for cheaper deals. But looking is half the fun. Mite help you if you have multi regional DVD player also, as you maite find that you can get a lot of DVDs cheaper on American Websites like Amazon for example. I'm not a multi regional buyer so I stick to sites liek PLAY.com (have sales quite often however selection can be limited). I'm sure others will be able to give you better examples of websites, I'm a bit rusty at the moment ^_^Chronos said:

Picked indeed. You've already been told the big names like Lain, Paranoia Agent and Welcome to the NHK (awesome series IMO). Monster is a very good choice also by the way, watched that recently. But looking at past posts, you got a lot of good animes to choose from.
As had been said previosly, Wikki is a good source for information but it can spoil a whole series for you in it's first paragragh giving to much info away. Think this has already been mentioned but ANN is always gonna be my first choice. It's like reading the back of a DVD summary.
There's a thread somewhere where people post good deals, that's useful too!
What I do is maintain a list of what I'm looking for and when I catch wind of a good deal, grab those items. Of course there are still some essentials I simply have to pick up on release at near full price but I'm mostly careful
Play and Amazon regularly seem to cut prices on some shows so if you're patient you can pick things up neatly there. The prices on Paprika and Millennium Actress at Amazon at the moment are incredible (they're two of my favourite films if you can't tell!).

Yes. I love him, though my partner if possible loves him even more. He's dead set on having The Girl in Byakkoya playing at our wedding
I love all Kon works in general too. Hope they keep working together as long as I have money to see their lovely productions!

Grave of the fireflies I've seen twice only. The first time, I've shed a few tears and it left me feeling really depressed for a week. The second time, it left me feeling even more depressed... That's how powerful this movie is.ayase said:
I did like Howl and Earthsea, I do reckon they are minor ghibli films, but I believe that if you don't look at them biased by all the previous goodness, you can enjoy both of them greatly.MrChom said:

Oh Howl was by no means a BAD movie, I'd still watch it above about 80% of the rubbish movies the anime industry feeds the world, but yes, compared to GHibli's previous stuff it's not fantastic.
I'd have to say that Mononoke (for all that people tell me it's too preachy) is probably my fave of theirs.
