"Recommend me some Anime DVD's....."

Go on, please. I used to love all this kind of stuff when i was younger but I kinda grew out of it, for some reason i've got an urge to watch some now though.

To give you an idea of the kind of stuff I'm lookin for i'll list a few of the ones i've enjoyed in the past.

Devil Man, Tokyo Doomed Megapolis, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Dominion Tank Police, AD Police, Cyber City OEDO, Geno Cyber, Venus Wars and a few others that i can't remember.

As long as it's got plenty of action and it's not slow paced then good, good. I'm not intrested in the weird Japenease soap type weirdfests like Urusei Yatsura.

So go for it, list some, they need to be available on DVD though.

Very true. I especially like the amazing soundtrack.

Macross plus ain't bad

X was quite good but you are right. It promised loads of battles and there wasn't really.
My recommendations are:

Evangelion
Martian Successor Nadesico
Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040
outlaw star
I'm trying to catch cowboy bebop on CNX
Tenchi Muyo, Universe and tokyo

have i missed anything?

Any one seen Orguss 02.
I liked it

X had a poor ending.
Could it of been over any sooner

Very true, there is quite a bit of senseless flashing in there which I don't really like, but the TV series doesn't have anything like that. The show is currently being re-released on dvd, and although it's pretty old (early 1970's) it's pretty fun in an early 70's camp adventures kind of way.

Patlabor is a great series. There's the two films (being released in a double pack dvd in the UK soon), plus there's a new movie Patlabor 3: WXIII coming to dvd in the US soon, and like Lupin, the old TV series is currently being released on dvd.

These films rule, I had Castle of Cagliostro and 2 others that where released on Manga video a while back. Very funny films, some of them are rammed with nudity which I found quite suprising for the type of film they are.

Another 2 series I liked where Patlabor: Mobile Police and Giant Robo.

Another good one I forgot to mention is Spriggan. Plenty of action, some amazing animation, more action, a bit of violence and a good soundtrack.

And very very funny too if you know the references to other anime.

Ooh, what about Evangelion?!

Another one I forgot, very nice.

Thanks for the warning, I saw the cover and thought it looked pretty good...guess I won't bother now.
