Ok, I consider myself a fan of Anime and I can accept some of the more "out there" plots and storylines, but these just seem a bit TOO far out there [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
These are from an Ebay Seller listing (he's also got a 2-hum import Dinky I'm watching), BTW, not stuff I have sitting around [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
"THOSE WHO HUNT ELVES follows the adventures of three Japanese travelers, Junpei, a muscle head, Airi, a talented actress, and Ritsuko, a beautiful young munitions specialist, who become trapped in a bizarre fantasy world. Desperate to leave, they enlist the help of sorceress who prepares a spell that will take them back to Japan. However, as she is about to recite it, Junpei distracts her, making her botch the spell and send it flying to five different corners of the universe where it has attached itself to five different elven maidens. So, these three intrepid travelers must now seek out elven maidens and induce them to strip so that they might reassemble the spell that will take them home"

Seriously, now. "Duuuhhh you mean we gonna go home Lootennant Dan?" "Shut up Gump!" "OH DAMN! You made me lose my place and now you have to go find these OTHER Fantasyland Princesses and convince them to get nekkid before you can really go home!"

La Blue Girl had a better plot [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
"The Devil Lady: Go Nagai's classic horror series revolves around Jun, a fashion model who is unaware that she possesses a demonic power that will thrust her into the role of guardian of the Earth. When a mysterious figure plunges her into her first conflict with the supernatural forces of evil, Jun's jet-setting lifestyle quickly comes to an end. Gradually realizing the depth of the demonic power she possesses, Jun struggles to fulfill her modeling duties by day and her role as the Demon Lady by night."
Now that's gotta be a pain in the ass - "Hmmm, do I save the City from yet another horrible fate or do I prep for the Versace show?" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Picture Cindy Crawford in that role - "Cindy, you're late for the Pepsi shoot" "ExCUUUSE ME! I'm trying to save the fukking WORLD - IF. YOU. DON'T. MIND!!"

"Set in a mystic city ruled by the Emperor Valhiss, AMON SAGA is the story of a young man's quest to avenge the murder of his mother. Amon, a young swordsman, is led to the castle of the Emperor Valhiss in his quest, and finds that he must join the Imperial Army before he can exact his revenge. However, once he has worked his way into the castle, Amon meets Princess Lichia, whom the Emperor is holding ransom for a map. Caught between his quest for revenge and the peril that both the Princess and the city face from the Emperor's crimes, Amon must decide whether to help the living or honor the dead."
What, he gets only ONE of those TWO options? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] "Lessee, do I save the hot honey with the money, OR kill the mother fukker who fukked my mother?" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Dude, seriously, either way they're going to be hunting your ass until Doomsday - decap the Evil Dood and then snatch the Royal Snatchess, become King, and order the relentless carpet-bombing of the Evil Dood's Evil Empire [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Here's a few I wouldn't mind seeing, however:
"The popular, surreal, and addicting LAIN series is collected in this special box set. Similar in scope to EVANGELION and KEY THE METAL IDOL, LAIN is a unique experience that is unabashedly much more bizarre than those groundbreaking and ambitious animes. The day after a classmate commits suicide, Lain, a 13-year-old girl, receives an e-mail from the dead girl: "I just abandoned my body. I still live here." Iain then begins to learn that there is an inexplicable link between the tactile world around us and the wired world, the strange virtual universe inside the computer."
Makes sense to me, even if Evangelion didn't [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img] Interesting premise, though - Ghost In The Machine and all that.
"COWBOY BEBOP began in 1994 as a 26 episode television series in Japan directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and created by many of the same artists responsible for the MACROSS PLUS OVA. The result was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed shows ever, and its popularity has been steadily growing since its debut. COWBOY BEBOP is the story of Spike and Jet, two of the galaxy's best bounty hunters who travel the spaceways in their converted fishing ship, the Bebop, and, along with help from the beautiful Faye Valentine, the brilliant Ed, and their data dog Ein, try to track down as many of the universe's wanted criminals as they can. Intelligent, witty, and visually stunning, COWBOY BEBOP is a landmark anime series. This special two disc collection contains six of the series' best episodes."
Given that Macross Plus is one of my ALL TIME favorite series, this might actually be worth watching, though I'd get the entire series instead of this particular collection.
"This incarnation of the popular BUBBLEGUM CRISIS series is the television show that aired in Japan in 1998 and 1999. It is a re-telling of the original eight part series, BUBBLEGUM CRISIS, an OAV that aired in Japan from 1986 to 1989. Running 26 episodes, this series expands on the original while staying with the same main characters as well as the original premise, that of four young women in giant robotic suits doing battle with the destructive androids and evil corporations of Megalo City (Mega Tokyo in the original series). Contains the entire series in a collector's box."
Who can resist chicks in giant robot suits? Not me [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
