Default TRSI CPM Recommendations

I've been browsing the TRSI CPM titles and wondering if there's anything I'm missing that's worth buying. This isn't just a recommendation thread for myself but everyone feel free to post CPM titles you recommend to anyone wanting to take advantage of TRSI's sale.

Now and Then, Here and There - I have to recommend this, a great drama adventure with brutality in post apocalyptic world.

Maze TV - A good comedy and very cheap. This would be the best time to get it. EDIT: Just noticed it's $16.18 from DDD shipped.

World of Narue - A slightly better then average romance comedy, with some progression unlike many other of the same genre.

Ping Pong Club - Crazy wacky (as stated in another thread) toilet humor...

Cat Soup - I don't have this, so I may pick it up depending on if anyone recommends it.

Legend of Himiko - This is another title that caught my eye. So I'd be greatful to anyone who's seen it to post their thoughts, the good and bad in the show. Is it just average, good, or great?

It looks like I may pick up:

World of Narue Box Set
Now and then...Box Set
Project A-ko DVD1
DNA 2 Box Set
Yatsura Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer

Total: $148 WITHOUT 40%OFF!

Being Canadian, I looked at some Canadian Stores to see if it's worth it..

Future Shop: 336.95 WITHOUT TAX
BEST BUY: SAME THING WITHOUT TAX!

These are the stores where I found everything in stock!

Rightstuf is the way to go this time!

Can I get some opinions on Black Jack? I thought the movie was average, how is the collection? And is this a TV or OVA series?

I'm thinking about getting Cat Soup, They Were Eleven, and Revolutionary Girl Utena. Any opinions on those?

Well, obvious choices are Grave of the Fireflies, Now & Then, Here & There, Utena and Lodoss Wars. For stuff other than that I'll go into more.

Legend of Himiko (To answer the previous poster's question)- Fairly average series. I had thought it was made in the early 90's judging by the animation, but the credits say 1999. Still an alright series with surprisingly intelligent villains. Chosa and Heihachiro rocked.

They Were 11- One of my favorite anime movies of all time. A great mystery mixed with great characters. Also surprising to hear David Lucas and Wendee Lee in a CPM dub.

Geobreeders- One of the original "girls with guns" series. Classic with great fanservice. Damn funny too.

Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer- Another one of my favorite movies (And the best UY movie period), a movie VERY obviously made by Mamoru Oshii. The director's commentary with him is great and the movie itself is amazing. Very trippy.

Patlabor- Pick this up. Great character show. Awesome characters (Captain Goto is the man), great episodes and awesomely strong female leads (Hooray for Noa and Kanuka!)

Any Black Jack is cool! More serious here than his original Tezuka appearances in Firebird, his is a kind of culty love him or hate him character. If you like Harlock types, you'll like BJ IMO.
