Well last week i recieved both my tylor ova/tv series box sets and the escaflowne legends box set. So now that i got a new paycheck coming in i was thinking about buying some moderately priced series. Here is the list:
1) Patlabor - TV series (Box sets 1-3), New Files Box Set, & Original Box Set
2) Scrapped Princess vols. 3-6 (LE)
3) Fullmetal Alchemist vols. 7-9 & Gankutsuou vols. 3-4
There is the list of the three different purchases i want to make. As you can see i still haven't picked up Scrapped Princess but thats because so many good deals started to come out right when i was about to buy it. Also each of the purchases are around the same price.

Well...you seem to be stalling on Scra-Prin, so I'll just recommend Option 3 (FMA and Gankutsuou). -_-;

I'll highly recommend option three: FMA and Gankutsuou.

I'd definitely say go with option 3. You can't go wrong with Fullmetal, and plus, Gankutsuou is getting really good. *can't wait for vol. 4*

With out question go for patlabor,a truly classic series which everytime i watch it i get all nostalgic and i say to myself they dont make them like that anymore,but anyway at the end of the day its up to you,go with your own instinct.

Thats very hard to choose, but getting all of Patlabor is a great deal.

I was suprised that i found all of that for such a good price. To bad the special edition movie is around $65 because i would have picked that up too.

Looking at your avatar... Go for the uncut Naruto boxset that came up for preorder today.
I know I didn't choose one of the options. :P

I was looking at that too but decided to wait for other people to get it.
Oh yeah i just had another thought for a purchase and that is Maison Ikkoku Box Sets 6-8.

umm FMA sux... seriously, go read the manga if you like the story but don't waste $$$ on the anime.
The other 1/2 of the anime is extremely corny... and sappy and just downright horrible that I couldn't finnish it.
No seriously I thought initially it's gonna be great even listed it as a fav anime, til I saw the other half of it... hehehe... and it got from boring to just down right terrible.

I like FMA, but my heart belongs to patlabor, especially the TV series & follow up OAV, they're the best. Buy FMA after Patlabor!

Wow, the poll has grown some. Im suprised b/c i haven't had alot of contribution to my polls in awhile so im happy about this feedback.
Also, Levon i thought that was another good purchase but i forgot to add it to the poll.

Scrapped Princess and/or Gankutsuou.
Not familiar with Patlabor.
Underdog needs more support. And almost everything gets underdog rating when compared to FMA.

Plus Patlabor is an old series and whenever that is on my polls it never wins (unless i made one with the Zeta box set on it). :P

Well at that price and going by the popularity of Patlabor in America i'd say it's going to be on shelves for a decent amount of time. :P

It's not a ridiculous statement if that's how I feel. What's ridiculous is that you had to go out of your way to attack my opinion. I suggest not doing so.

oh my seems i,ve rubbed someone up the wrong way,fourms are all about opinions and debate we all dont need to agree on each others opinion and comments and if i see fit to comment on what you said i will do so,its nothing serious its just a bit of fun,i just thought you should have gave a better reason to your recommendation than just saying its better than the other 2 shows combined its hardly a good reason to recommend a series to someone,at least say why you think its better.

So, it's okay that you comment "what a ridiculous statement" but it's not okay for me to give my opinion, which you seem to rant on about, that Gankutsuou is better than everything else? "You just thought" blah blah blah. Nice way to cop out there after blatantly attacking my opinion. Asking for an explanation is one thing, saying "that's ridiculous" is quite the other. And the information you seek is posted by just about every other poster here. One more persons post repeating won't do much good.
FYI : I CAN read deleted posts, you know. So your "What a ridiculous statement" posted earlier, I saw. So, I know you're BSing me with all that "It's just for fun/information" crap.
If I seem testy, you'll have to pardon me. I have a soar throat, didn't get much sleep, and the little sleep I did get was interruped by an unpleasant dream.
