My list is a constantly shuffled, complex thing. I try to time the movies for my husband and I for weekends when the children are at their father’s. Similarly, I try to time the kids’ movies for weekends they are with us. So if I see one is not going to make it in time for whatever weekend, is coming up, and move it down. Sometimes this works, sometimes not – but in any case, I can always hang onto an ill-timed arrival, since there are no late fees. Hurray!
Netflix is my hook-up for anime; I rarely order anything else from them. Since I have neither the money nor the inclination to buy everything I am interested in checking out, I rely on their extensive animation section to keep me up to date.
I just returned everything I had out, so I am waiting for a delivery. I don’t know what’s in transit; it will depend on availability.

As you can see, I’m catching up on certain series. I don’t know if I will watch all of RahXephon; I’m not much into mecha, but I liked the first couple of episodes.
The only real bummer is that they don’t seem to have FLCL.

We’re down to only 85 in our queue. We have a five year old son, so we try to always have one “kid’s movie” at any given time. We usually add things in bunches, grouped by genre, then go through periodically and reorganize the queue. We generally have about a two or three day turnaround.
