Well, I'm ordering Last Exile Box tonight, and I'll wait on until they get in Rahxephon Vol. 4.
If you guys haven't figured out by now, it takes me months to follow through on purchase decisions.
BTW Tony, two things to say to ya.
1. A friend of mine recommended I listen to "Seasons in the Abyss" and "Dead Skin Mask". Pretty kick ass songs, but it's hard to figure how to put them into my random CD mix rotation.
2. PhD pencil kicks ass.
I know this is anime blasphemy, but I love Robotech, and the new remasters have me intrigued, mainly because they're so cheap to get. What's the opine on that one?

Robotech isn't blasphemy...in fact, for many of us old-schoolers, it was what got us into anime in the first place. I'm not sure if I'd pick it up now, but I certainly acknowledge it's importance. That and the fact that I have so many other series to get, sacrifices have to be made  .

Thanks for the help, however, I decided not to get a movie this weekend. I've got plenty of anime I can watch. 
Dome, yes! PHD does kick ass!
Also, you haven't even heard Slayer's best stuff! First things first, listen to Raining Blood, which is one of the best songs ever recorded. Then check out the following songs: Angel of Death, Postmortem, Disciple, Piece By Piece, South of Heaven, and War Ensemble.

There is only one way to fix that problem! And the solution is... MORE SLAYER AND MORE METAL!!!!

Yeah, I think of Robotech as a separate entity than Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada. I'm probably going to be picking up the Remastered DVDs myself (they're DAMN cheap!)

Hmmm...kind of quiet again. Here's a question for everyone. Assuming a good script, and high production values, what anime would you like to see as a live-action film, or series of films? Assume you can get the best actors/director/etc., and that you have an unlimited budget. I for one, would like to see a LA version of Macross. With today's special effects, you could make it look very real.

I think they could make a really cool live-action movie series out of the Banner/Crest of the Stars series.

I wouldn't totally discount an EVA film, based on the kind of excitement that is being generated in the Movies forum about the Casshern trailer.
Considering that there seems to be a trend now (with Casshern, Cutey Honey, and Devilman comming out in live-action versions), it wouldn't surprise me if it gets done at some point.
Whether it is any good or not, that's another question...

Truth is, I'd rather see a very high quality anime version than a live action version of most of the stuff I like, any day. The reason is largely that what I've seen in anime, I have preconceptions as to how it ought to look and sound, and the live action doesn't suit them. Now, I could see live-action adapted manga without problems. That said, Kishin Heidan might not do too bad, and since it eas adapted from a series of novels in the first place the movie could be quite distinct from the anime and it wouldn't bother me.

Does anyone know of a reliable website to order anime from? I'm looking to order Last Exile vol. 1 'cause it's too expensive in the stores. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Actually, here's my counterproposal:
What movie or programme would you like to see redone as an anime?
For instance, Star Wars [episodes 4-6]. Just think of the fun of reimagining this through Japanese conventions... The Rebels are fighting to topple the corrupt, brutal military dictatorship known as the Galactic Republic and restore the overthrown Imperial rule in the person of Princess Rei, saved from the massacre of the Imperial Family and raised as his own by a secretly loyalist Republican Planetary Governor. Young Zoratabi Ryuunosuke joins the Rebels in the hope of reedeming the honour of his family, injured when his father, one of the Emperor's retainers, betrayed his own master and went over to the Dark Side, taking service under the evil sorceror called the President. Ryuu-maru meets his old man three times, running away once at the cost of the life of his teacher, Ken'obi, the last of an order of warrior monks; the second time being wounded near to death; and the third time killing his father and the President. Han Solo becomes one of those Oriental bandits who is forever professing his loyalty to the Emperor while breaking the law, and perhaps we can have Chuu-Baka, a giant and very stupid hamster who emits electric shocks randomly  ,
