Summaries
First off there are 2 kinds of anime you can buy. Ones released in the US which are sold at places like Animenation, Animecastle, and Reel.com. The others are called fansubs, these are anime subtitled by fans, for fans that are not released in the US. They are inexpensive ($5-$8) and gives you a chance to see some great anime that may or may not be released in the US. You can see a list of fansubtitlers at Anipike. Alright on to the summaries.

4.5 Stars-These are definitely worth checking out and are almost 5's, but only the best anime gets a 5 star rating.
4 Stars-Very good anime still worth buying. These are anime other people might consider 4.5 or 5 Stars so check'em out.
3 Stars-Good anime has cool parts worth renting first.
2 Stars-Your taking your chances with these, maybe the previews looked good but the anime isn't.

Berserk - 4.5 Stars
This series revolves around Gatts who is a bad mofo that carries around a big ass sword. The story starts off with Gatts traveling as a mercenary for hire when he catches the eye of Griffith the leader of a ragtag army called the Hawks. Gatts unwillingly joins Griffith after losing to him in a duel, but with their alliance they are unstoppable on the battlefield. The only problem now is controlling Griffiths's ambitions. Very cool series with a plot that will grab you. Lots of blood too for those who like violence. (fansub)

Momiji thought whe was normal until a military group called the TAC informed her that she was actually the princess Kushinada. She ends up being the key to putting the evil Aragami back to sleep (unfortunately it's with her death). Can the TAC keep Momiji alive and get rid of the Aragami?

Dragon Ball Z - 4 Stars
What can i say? It's the longest running cartoon in history so it's gotta be great. Join Goku a Sayin Warrior and his ultra powerful friends as they rid the universe of its never ending flow of evil. I would rate this series a 5 Star easy if the early episodes didn't suck. It gets better and better as the series goes on. Definitely watch the uncut versions though. (US release)
