 | Video Girl Ai
Buy used from: $66.00 Absolutely sublime. Megumi Hayashibara delivers one of her earliest and best roles, really gripping the audience with the emotion in her voice. Animation is fluid and detailed and the soundtrack matches everything. Extremely hard to find.

 | Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team DVD Complete Collection
Not the best anime, but the best Gundam series with twists and turns associated with romance stories. Detailed and full of life. Dig it.

 | Akira
Buy used from: $31.99 A great flick to acquaint yourself with. Truly one of the better anime films out there.
|
 | Mushi-Shi: Starter Set
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $22.02 Smooth, elegant, and intelligent, Mushishi is a great series if one likes series that have a root in feudal Japan with plenty of intelligence. Some may be put off by its slow nature and lack of continuity between episodes.

 | Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $15.99 Probably not the best Miyazaki film, but one of my personal favorites out of his repertoire of flicks. Highly recommended.

 | Ghost in the Shell
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $6.98 The film that gave anime a boost in the States when it was released. Is often grouped together with Akira and for good reason.

 | Cowboy Bebop Remix: Anime Legends
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $29.64 Space, babes, and a touch of comedy in with the seriousness and you have Cowboy Beebop, one of the best series out there. Great way to start with anime.
|
 | Outlaw Star: Complete Collection
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $29.65 Most definitely not the best anime series, but a good one nonetheless. Full of vibrant action sequences and likeable characters, this'll grow on you eventually.
|
 | Battle Angel
Buy used from: $19.99 A good OVA with a well-executed Japanese track, but surprisingly, an excellent dub track. Short but sweet and hard to find.
|
 | Cromartie High School - Complete Collection
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $20.97 A series revolving around high school delinquents and their escapades. Extremely funny if one has a decent understanding of Japanese culture.
