So looking toward 2016 I’d like to know if I could get some suggestions as what,if anything, that I should be thinking of adding to my collection next year before I call it quits on the collecting
and sit back and enjoy my collection.
To help you please list 1 or at most 2 titles from the following genres:
1.Magic Girl
2.Horror
3.Mecha
4.Fantasy
5.Sci-Fi
6.Slice of Life
7.Harem Comedy
also anything with catgirls or any combination.

I don’t really understand, do you mean stuff that is going to come out in 2016 that you want to add or stuff that you that should be added before next year. In any case, I nominate RWBY for your collection. It is magical girl show kinda, and it has one cat-girl with a sword/gun.
-
- August 10, 2015 at 6:15 PM
For anyone who’s curious what I meant was: what titles should I specifically concentrate on getting next year (old or new) to add to my collection before I call it quits to collecting.
-
- August 12, 2015 at 5:48 PM
Yep, already considering Punchlineand RWBYas well as the series that Snow mentioned in the Marriage Equality thread( it’s getting a NA release by Funi). -
- September 11, 2015 at 5:30 PM
Ok any more? I looked up
Knights of Sidoniaand it looks interesting. -
- September 14, 2015 at 6:11 PM
Gurren LagannI’ve already seen when it was on the then Animonday on SYFY. Wizard Barristershmm…need to look that one up. I really need an idea for December if I don’t decide to get
Yuki Yunna Is A Hero. Is the CE the only edition out there for it?
-
- September 16, 2015 at 5:21 PM
I looked it up and it looks interesting. Moyo looks to be an interesting character,even when you consider she’s essentially the Devil in disguise.(I hope I got her name right.) -
- September 21, 2015 at 5:58 PM
Nope. I’m now thinking of getting
Umi Monogtarifor December as the complete series is only $29.99.

AFAIG with Monster MusumeI was lurking around Animenation forums last week and they had a link to a quiz at the official Sentai Filmworks site where you get to find who your Monster Waifu is. Mine is Suu.
Please don’t judge my Monster Waifu just because she’s a blob of water.
-
- October 7, 2015 at 5:41 PM
Charlottedefinitely. Does anyone know when Sentai is releasing
Monster Musume? I also want to get the rest of season 1 of
Cat’s Eyeand GITS:Arise. So that’s four I want to get in 2016. -

Durararamaybe. Samurai FlamencoI’m not sure of. Sounds bit too funky for me. -

Yeah, Samurai Flamenco is something, and this pic actually best describes it in my opinion:

-
- October 14, 2015 at 5:49 PM
Well now that 3.33 is coming out in February I have another must get on the list. -
- October 19, 2015 at 6:09 PM
I really need to start writing things down. -
- October 21, 2015 at 6:02 PM
No…I mean I need to start writing all these suggestions down on paper so I don’t forget them. -
- October 26, 2015 at 6:03 PM
I already got OVA 1 of Hellsing Ultimatethe only thing is to get off my butt and get the rest of it. -
- October 28, 2015 at 6:07 PM
Ok the 12 I have selected so far from all the suggestions are: 1.Monster Musume
2.Kyousougigga
3.Punchline
4.RWBY
5.Wizard Barristers
6.Charlotte
7.Tokyo Ravens
8.Baccano!
9.Durarara!
10.AKB0048
11.Kampfer…yeah I know it wasn’t a suggestions but I decided I add it to the list anyway
12.Nadeisco
Also thinking about School Live if that’s any good.
-
- October 30, 2015 at 5:35 PM
Good because the whole idea sounds like total fun. Plus it comes with your daily required allotment of cute zombie puppies!…Take That! Walking Deadfans! -
- November 14, 2015 at 3:32 AM
Hmm, School-Live!(Gakkou Gurashi) from the glimpses I saw it’s your typical cutie girl school show psychologically messed up with the zombie theme. It leans toward the cutie school girl life than the zombie part.
Sailor Zombieis the live-action derivative. I can’t imagine watching both to the end. The only good thing is the zombie theme song (not OP/ED) which only appears in the show. It’s has weird pronunciated lyrics similar to poem///stretched and twisted…totally creepy. It kind of reminds of ancient vietnamese theatre singing or whatever it’s called. Only difference is that they sound way better. A similar approach was made with the theme song for the Korean Lady of the Stormshow. It sounded way weirder but not creepy. -
- November 17, 2015 at 1:30 AM
Sailor Zombiesounds like they would name a live action version of Sailor Stars. Anyhows, I have my January all planned for with
Angelic Layerand then too I hope to get GITS:ARISEand 3.33. So that means I have 9 more to go. At least. I could order more than one at a time I know.
-
- November 22, 2015 at 7:36 PM
I would guess a real Sailor Starshow would be better. Sailor Zombie isn’t terrible but it’s just somewhat boring. There are funny and good scenes but the newbie idols aren’t …supportive enough them. But I blame the script more than their acting. [BBvideo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7azQt_YyNU [/BBvideo] -
- November 23, 2015 at 7:15 PM
I think watching that was more fun than a full season of The Walking Dead! mmhmm1 At least they don’t look like they took the material too seriously. And is it just me but did that
megane girl remind anyone else of Ami from the live action Sailor Moon? (yeah…I know it wasn’t here as she’d be too old for that part now..it’s just do all megane girls in live action Magic Girl shows look alike now?)
-
- November 25, 2015 at 7:28 PM
I really need to get the first two volumes before I even think of volume 3. -
- November 27, 2015 at 6:35 PM
I know and I can also buy the first two parts, which is what I need to do first. Ok so Wizard Barristers comes out, I think in March along with 3.33. I also added Hamatora and
Buddy Complex to my list( the first isn’t to be confused with Hamtora as it’s about a group of
detectives with psychic abilities not hamsters; although admittedly a series about hamster detectives with psychic powers does sound kinda fun!
😆 😆 😆 While the second is some sort of odd time travel mecha series that looks interesting.) -
- November 27, 2015 at 7:10 PM
Buddy Complex is bad imho. You really should check it out on youtube. mitsuki lover wrote:I think watching that was more fun than a full season of
The Walking Dead! mmhmm1
Although, I posted that there are more fun scenes, entertaining scenes but as I said it’s that good.

Yep, I thought the same but she didn’t get to appear that many times or stand in the center.No, most do but many don’t look like Ami. It’s just that stereo type characterization. And She looks better in “You are Under arrest”.
Rei/Mars was seriously badass in a recent detective show. -
- November 30, 2015 at 7:36 PM

- December 6, 2015 at 9:57 PM
As to non-Gundam mecha shows Aldonah Zerois not the latest. “Knights of Sidonia” is newest show I think. Both have two seasons. Aldonah Zero season 2 is more like Gundam and kind of lost it’s smartness in season 1. So get season 1 first and save season 2 for later if you want to prioritize another show. I’m not quite happy with season 2 and you could go without it as the story is simple. Now running:
Soukyuu no Fafner-Dead Aggressor-Exodus, season 2
Meh, get the original Fafner in the Azure if you must
Aquarion Logos
Meh, total crap idea just to have a show.
The original Aquarion is best. Aquarion EVOL is lavishly draw but is so-so otherwise. It has lots of OST but hardly found in the anime itself. The best it offers is the Mecha design for the transformation mechanism. They reused it all over again and again…
-
- December 7, 2015 at 7:28 PM
I basically need ideas for from June-December as I already have my January-May planned. -
- December 10, 2015 at 12:58 AM
Well, I don’t feel like recommending something I can’t consciously warrant happiness. That said
Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiruappears interesting if you minor horror is acceptable. Simply put it’s Bones, the american medical CIS-esque show. -
- December 11, 2015 at 6:45 PM
I haven’t watched Bonesfor awhile but enjoyed it when I did. btw:Totally off topic, but our mail is delayed now because the windstorm we had damaged the roof
of the distribution center in Spokane and so now everything is going to be 2-3 days late because it has to go through Seattle until they get things fixed.
And back on topic: I need to have help with a Plan-B list in case some of Plan-A doesn’t work out.
-
- December 11, 2015 at 11:18 PM
Well, you could try some of these ok shows Owari no Seraph=Seraph of the EndIt’s rather your run of the Mill a la
Flame of Rekka. It’s currently decent but it might become long running like Naruto or Bleach. Similarly for
Karneval, but it definitely ends. Assassination Classroomis more fun. Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de“Imagine you can actually use magic (for) battle” school show.
Akagami no Shirayukihimefantasy romance, nice, but long paced
Mikagura Gakuen KumikyokuGirl has barely magic power is forced into battle to survive in her school of choice. entertaining!
D-FragFreshmen delinquents gets “coerced” into
scarygame club. Shinigami no BalladDeathgod stories about people’s fate.
Somewhat reminds of the “The Outer Zone” manga, e.g. Twilight / Outer Limits.
-
- December 11, 2015 at 11:56 PM
I think Owari no Seraph or Seraph of the End is better than ok ; it does have typical shounen tropes…but it has good quality animation, vampires (loli vampire queen of Japan anyone B ) ?) , good story (this is debatable to some) and a decent group of main characters and side characters alike. I think its worth watching. Also if your looking for a heart-felt / feel good anime with cute girls and good music i suggest Love Live School Idol Project (
sakuyafinger1 ) lol -
- December 14, 2015 at 7:18 PM
😆 Knew you might say that! I actually might put a few of the suggestions to 2017 so that I will have something to work on for the next couple years instead of one.(Unless of course the world ends or
a meteor crashes into my bedroom killing me or something else unforeseen occurs..)
-
- December 16, 2015 at 6:47 PM
FWIW: ACER and it’s only a couple years old. And not that anyone asked but I keep most of my DVDs in boxes as in the larger ones that they send
your order in, they make pretty good way of stashing your collection cheaply and from expierence
(depending on size) you pretty much can keep up to 15 DVDs stored in one box. So I think I have
at least three more boxes worth before quitting.Maybe I could do four but then it gets to be a bit of a hassle trying to get DVDs that are in the back row.
My room is small and I don’t have any space to put them except the closet.
-
- December 16, 2015 at 7:24 PM
You might want to check Kekkai Sensen= Blood Blockade BattlefrontThe title reminded me of
Xso I wasn’t quite sure. Well, it’s looks like a mix of X, Hyper Police, and kind of Get Backers. Story wise it leans toward Get Backers and maybe Bebop. The first 15 min. kind of reminds of World Destruction. Imho all the above are better in their own respect. Actually, I got a bit annoyed by the feeling of dejavu which may have caused some negative impression on my part. It’s modernized so it should appeal to lots of people. The BG art is detailed and with dreamy lighting. -
- December 21, 2015 at 7:15 PM
I got the confirmation that Umi Monogatariand Magical Witch Puni-Chanshipped on the 17th, so they should come some time this week. Still since this is Christmas week I might not get them until next week because of all the packages being sent and having to be sorted out. The way things go for me it’ll probably go to Seattle first and then wind up at the bottom of the pile so I won’t get it until practically the end of the year…ah…that’s life!
isawitplz1 -
- December 23, 2015 at 6:27 PM
Well only a week to go to 2016! I really hope that this coming year there aren’t any more screw ups like last year.
-
- December 28, 2015 at 6:52 PM
True that…still waiting for Umi Monogatariand Magic Witch Punie-Chanto get here. But so far they’re in the required amount of time to get here( 4-14 days), so I don’t have to worry
until after New Years.
IF They don’t get here until the first week of January I’ll send an e-mail to Rightstuf to see if they
know what’s up ( like an idiot I deleted the conifrmation notice before copying down the
USPS order number!
sadface1 )OTOH this is the holidays so that might also delay things,and also because of the wind storm some of the mail had to be sorted in Seattle…so you never know.
Just so it didn’t wind up in Northport again!

From what I heard Berserkis pretty dark and tense. Then again I’m thinking of Xsimply because I love CLAMP. OTOH I been thinking for awhile about getting
Mardock Scramblejust because it seems to be a good match for
GITS. Well I have until May or June to decide what else to get. Right now I am going with my list for now. And just put in my order for
Angelic Layertoday along with my renewal of Gotanime membership for Rightstuf. -

Berserk – Golden Age Chapter I – The Egg of the King
Berserk – Golden Age Chapter II – The Battle for Doldrey
Berserk – Golden Age Chapter III – The Descent

Well, it’s a horror type anime. As far as dark goes I would say it’s the last part that’s really… *shivers*The new Berserk looks great but there are too many forced modernizations to the medieval world. There aren’t really many new scenes, though. And they aren’t must see either but some are good or improvements of old ones. There’s nothing new as far as the story line is concerned.
I second that. CLAMP’s X has more sympathetic characters so things feel more cruel imho.
Mardock Scramble: is lavishly beautiful. Episode 3 is kind of a let down regarding story progress, though. Not to mention it was discontinued. That part is somewhat superficial similar to the secrets of the Yamato country in Utawarerumono – Itsuwari no Kamen….
-
- January 6, 2016 at 6:22 PM
I don’t think I’ll get Berserkbut probably Mardock Scrambleand X. -
- January 8, 2016 at 7:28 PM
Added Mardock Scrambleto my list for June. I see where Rightstuf as the entire collection of all three movies available for 29.99. Hope it’s still there in June. Also planning on adding
xxxHOLICsince the complete collection is available and I enjoy the first bit a whole lot(need me some more Yuko!
soawesome1 ) -
- January 11, 2016 at 7:12 PM

*Bump* So far this year I have ordered and gotten:
Angelic LayerGhost In The Shell: Arise Borders 1 & 2Ikki-tousen: Dragon Dynasty vol.2And just this week sent in my order for
Brynhildr In The Darkness. I also pretty much know what I want to order for the rest of the year except for November and
December,I might go with
Sailor Moon Rto finish the year off or wait and start 2017 with.

IIRC I plan on getting RWBYin June and then Mardock Scramblein July. Have to check my list. But I think that’s the way it is now. I also am thinking of finishing the year maybe with
NOIRand
Kiddy Grade. Since I have a bit of both I’m really just thinking of getting the complete series of each and finishing them up. -
- April 23, 2016 at 9:08 PM
Definitely want to add Akame Ga Killsome time next year, also the Monster Musumemanga if the anime doesn’t come out for sale soon. I saw the manga for both yesterday at
B & N.
Monster Musumelooked especially fun. iloveit1 -
- April 27, 2016 at 5:52 PM
RWBY chibi? Ok I got everything for this year finally decided. I’m really on to 2017 now.
After next week when I come back from my anime hiatus I will post the list of the rest of 2016
that I have decided on.

- November 4, 2016 at 6:23 PM
*Bump* Ok I don’t want to start another thread for 2017 so ignore the date and keep handing in suggestions that would be good
for next year as well.
So far
Akame Ga Killheads the list. And others? -
- November 4, 2016 at 11:30 PM
I think you would Magical Girl Raising Project. Especially if you enjoy Madoka. Well…. Enjoy isn’t quite the right word… qt1 lolhttps://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/images/fotolife/S/SarahNelkin/20160721/20160721105044.jpg " /> -
- November 7, 2016 at 7:42 PM
Well I just got my latest print catalog from Rightstuf and will see what’s in that. And Snow…yeah I shall check
Magical Girl Raising Projectout. Thanks. -
- November 9, 2016 at 6:33 PM
Wow! that looks even more depressing in ways than Madoka. I mean rather harsh what happens to all those girls who loose their Magical Girl abilities. Still looks interesting enough to watch just ’cause The Goddess of 17 herself: Inoue Kikoue is in it!
soawesome1 -
- November 11, 2016 at 7:48 PM
My goal at the start, when I began collecting anime was to get something like 365 now I have 88 more to go to get there. -
- November 14, 2016 at 7:20 PM
Yep. And now that I have the space I can see my way to it. Of course if I count by actual number of titles it’s probably less. I’m using my Raw Mondays the same way I used it when they were Sub/Dub Mondays: as a way of rewatching titles that
I might not be getting around to for awhile, so they just don’t sit there.
-
- November 16, 2016 at 6:38 PM
Is that going to be a series or ova based on the movies? -
- November 18, 2016 at 6:54 PM
It looks to be total fun when it gets here. -
- November 19, 2016 at 12:46 AM
Might want to look up Orangehttp://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=18075 I have caught up a bit on the recent Sailor Moon musicals. They appear to be somewhat better than those of the past.
-
- November 21, 2016 at 7:38 PM
Sounds like a bit of a mesh up between Lainand Noeinthere. -
- November 23, 2016 at 8:21 PM
A bit of help here is I really like ADV/Sentai licensed shows. Also if Wendee Lee or Michelle Ruff or Luci Christian are in the dub or if it has Hayabashira Megumi, Tanaka Rei,Yukino Satuski,Hisakawa Aya
Inoue Kikou or even Mitsuishi Kotono,etc. in the original Japanese.
-
- November 25, 2016 at 6:27 PM
I took a count of all the titlesI have in my collection and I have about 140 individual anime titles. -
- November 28, 2016 at 7:30 PM
I think it might be at least half a dozen. I need to look and see. -
- November 30, 2016 at 6:37 PM
Since I asked about 2017 I have gotten 2 suggestions: Orangeand Little Witch Academia, 4 if you add in RWBY Chibiand Magical Girl Raising Projectwhich were the last two made before I had my ‘little’ hiatus. -
- December 7, 2016 at 6:27 PM
After Monday I realized I should also get the rest of Pilot Candidate’cause Kinza! soawesome1 And yeah still going to get
Akame ga Killnext month and Feb. -
- December 12, 2016 at 8:36 PM
Sent in my order for Kiddy Gradetoday and also ordered Suzuka, as far as I remember it was the first sports themed anime I have ever ordered. -
- December 21, 2016 at 8:44 PM
I also have to renew my Got Anime membership for Rightstuf but they upped it up by $6 so it’s now $18 instead of just $12. -
- December 23, 2016 at 9:28 PM
I’ll reup my Got Anime after the holidays which means after I get paid. Also thinking of buying a blind box dvd to go with it. The only other time I ordered a blind box I got the ADV version of
Kaleido Star Season 2which I already had the Funi version of; but that was ok I wound up watching both.
kiyonesmile1 So here’s what 2017 will so far be like:
Jan.:
Akame Ga Killpart 1 Feb.:
Akame Ga Killpart 2 Mar.:
Celestial Methodand that’s what all I have planned so far,I don’t know about April or beyond. Although I do want to get more
Sailor Moonalong with Ikki-tousenin 2017. Also the other main Magic Girl series I want to get is:
Wish Upon the Pleiades. Of course if
Yuki Yunna is a Herocomes down in price I will get that too. -
- December 26, 2016 at 11:39 PM
Only one weekend away from 2017. Need to pick up my pace in deciding what else to get then. -
- December 28, 2016 at 6:57 PM
Yeppers. And cross off
Akame Ga Kill part 1finally since I just went down to the PO and snail mailed my order for it in. And I also bought
A.D. Policeat one of our local second hand stores yesterday to go along with what I have of Bubblegum Crisis, so I’ll watch that first and then BG. Still waiting to hear from Rightstuf about my last order for
Kiddy Gradeand Suzuka. This is why I generally don’t like to order during the holidays.
