I found lots of anime on vhs on amazon.com

Yeah, but those are all going to be used dealers. It's very uncommon to find something made recently on VHS.

I don't care. I like Retro stuff.

Okay so I couldn't find Sword Art Online so I checked to see what Netflix had. I ended up watching Canaan. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't super awesome either. But I just downloaded Crunchyroll on my phone and I found Sword Art Online on there with subs. So I'm going to start that later. Anybody have any suggestions on what to watch afterwards?

I'm not sure how I missed this but I found this awesome dbz parody series on Youtube by teamfourstar. I laughed my assignment(i typed in ass but this is what SwiftKey gave me so I'm going with it) off for hours today. They have up to the beginning of the Trunk's saga done and it is so worth it to watch.

DBZ: The Abridged Series. Honestly, the only Abridged series ever to hold my attention was Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, which also happens to be the original. I very, very much didn't want to, since, like many people, I can't stand the concept of Yu-Gi-Oh, but relented at the insistence of a douchebag friend of mine who happened to be right.

Hmmmm I don't care for yu-gi-oh either but I do like parodies. Apparently teamfourstar is also involved with a hellsing parody. I'm very looking forward to watching it and trying to find the yu-gi-oh parody you mentioned.

Right here, the original and still the best. Later episodes also feature TEam Four Star as the villains, so there's that.

Shadowman, you'll have a thing for Blair for months after this, you know...

Wigglez, Samurai 7 isnt like alot of anime, it's unpredictable, fun, and the best part is that the Samurai are mortal. They get wounded, hurt. My favorite character in that series died, but damn if ye didn't die like a hero! In the manly tears record right behind Zabuza and Solid Snake.

So, Im watching the Wolverine anime.

I just finished the first episode and I liked it. My only real problem is where does this take place in the -If any- timeline?

I need to know before continuing, is this an origin story in another country? Or do I need some prior knowledge before continuing to watch?

Also, both this anime and the upcoming Wolverine movie take source material from the same place, just a fun fact.

Don't I know it. I do love a catgirl...

Actually it's very predictable, seeing as it's based off of an Akira Kurosawa movie. If I remember right, all the deaths are pretty much the same between both. (The names certainly are)

The Iron Man anime was supposed to be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe...except it's not technically part of the MCU. That is, you're probably not going to see them bringing it up in the Avengers. In particular, it's very contradictory to a lot of the themes in the second Iron Man movie. (Tony's protectiveness of his designs, and that he's the only one with working power armor)

And it can't be an origin story for Wolverine if he's got adamantium on him.

If you saw that movie, yeah. Thats like watching a film based off of your favorite book.

But as an Anime, I can't say it has alot of predictable moments, or powerups like Wigglez was saying. The only thing that I remember thats even close to that was when whatshisface learned how to kill, or when, in one or two cases, a Samurai would deflect a bullet, which as previously stated, bullets are a Samurai's one weakness. Other than that though, you wont get tired of it. Its not as cut and dry as you think. Watch it and maybe you'll see what I mean.
