As some of you know, of the many different jobs I’ve had since I’ve been a Doper, currently one of my three jobs is that I work in a video rental store. My boss has given me near carte blanche to update the store’s stock, create new sections, etc.
I’ve added several new sections, and ordered several buttloads of new titles. I find I need some help, however, with a couple of genres that I’m not terribly well versed in: “Non-Children’s Animation,” and “Comics Movies.”
Now, Comics Movies is easy. It’s just a place to put all the various movies that have been adapted from comics: from *Annie * to *Batman * to *Spiderman * to *Ghost World * to Road to Perdition. I’m not having much of a mindblock in this section, but if you guys could list any and all such titles, to help me make sure I’ve included everything, that would be awesome.
Now, the Non-Children’s Animation section is more of a problem for me. We’ve got quite a bit of stuff: from Akira to Watership Down and everything in between. But I’m not all that well-versed in this genre, so I’d love to collect some recommendations of what to buy to expand the section.
For example: I’ve had 2 customer requests for InuYasha. There’s a shitload of InuYasha; I wouldn’t know which to buy first, or if any of it’s worthwhile. Can those of you who follow this “genre,” as varied as it is, make some suggestions? With some explanation of why you sugget it, if possible; some capsule reviews would be monumentally helpful.
(FWIW, the reason it’s called Non-Children’s Animation is because Adult Animation might imply some Xrated stuff, and it’s very definitely a family store, without an “adult” section, so I’m not interested in Hentai-type suggestions for now.)
