Hey, look, it’s this thread again. 
Have since moved on to Initial D (HK DVDs, as it doesn’t have the “new and improved” audio and crap R&B soundtrack). It’s much better than it has any right to be (I don’t even like cars that much or racing at all).
I have the feeling I have something else in my anime queue, though for the life of me I can’t remember what…

Super Gals!, v1 - Wacky cartoon about three highschoolers with impossibly skinny limbs who get into all kinds of insane situations, have run-ins with weird characters…and…uh…do a bunch of stuff. Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Oh yeah, did you know that a typical teenage guy melts into a puddle if his girlfriend so much as puts her hands on his waist? And teenage girls are apparently required by law to hate each other on sight?
Initial D, v1 & 6 - Having bought every current volume of the manga, and seeing this discussed everywhere, I had to take a look. Verdict…meh. Typical manga-to-anime hack job. And why is it that anime can neverhave a quirky, weird, or offbeat character without making him the most irritating person on the planet?
Fist of the North Star, v4 - Yeah, I’m one of mabe ten people in the country who actually rented this. If you have any familiarity with the manga, it’s…surreal. It’s as if the anime crew had a bunch of character pics and a two-line explanation and were told to go nuts. The Sailor Moon dub wasn’t half as bizarre as this. And I gott ask, why is it that anime can neverhave a quirky, weird, or offbeat character without making him the most irritating person on the planet? 
Aika - What the hell, I was curious, and I had some time before my new job started. Delivered where it counted, for the most part (and it was really gratifying to see a guy, when attacked by a bunch of women, fight them, for cryin’ out loud…and win!), but could really have done without the pointless renew-the-world plot, and the ending was a complete letdown.
buncha hentai - Yeah, you heard me. Mixed bag, as always. Maybe one that had genuine eroticism.
Opinion of the genre hasn’t changed. Some good, some bad, worth an occasional look, not gonna change the world.
I’m watching Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 right now. It’s okay I suppose. Pretty decent animation, a semi-interesting storyline, and instead of big robots it has small pretty ones and medium sized zombie robots. I think it’s really the zombie robots that does it for me.
But speaking of Netflix, you have to be careful of what you rent. I took out Escaflowne assuming that they had all the discs, and suddenly it just stopped halfway through. What is that all about? So I looked up Love Hina, and the same thing. Just a few of the discs, not all. It’s really irritating. But I still love you, netflix, and I’ll continue to pay your (now discounted) fee each month.
