And now for my sales pitch!
Amazon.com is having a 50% off anime sale.
BOOYAH.
I've taken it upon myself to highlight a few particularly economic (read: less than $20) standouts from among the crowd...
1) Moon Phase: $16.49
Why? CUTE VAMPIRE HIJINKS. As well as some truly creative directing and a really effective dub.
Summary: While Kouhei ranks among the best in paranormal photography, he’s never actually seen a ghost. So when he fails to capture a hauntingly beautiful young girl on camera, curiosity drives him into the arms of a vampire and a world he cannot comprehend. Hazuki, having waited years for someone to finally set her free, proves unwilling to part with her unwitting hero and follows him home, promptly adopting his life as her own. And as the petite fanged wreaks her own flavor of havoc, mysterious forces conspire to reclaim what was lost. The truth could be one that none dare to face.
2) Sukisho: $19.99
Why? Enh, I dunno. S'alright, I guess... PSYCH. You guys know how much I love this series, it's plastered all over my journal and icons. Tune in to this one for a really sweet love story and some awesome psychological mumbo-jumbo. Not to mention the gorgeous art. And fabulous voice acting. And-- *shot*
Summary: Sora fell from the roof of his high school and was knocked unconscious. When he finally awoke, he found a kind-hearted boy named Sunao waiting over him. Sunao claims to be his best friend, but the fall erased some of Sora's memory. He doesn't remember Sunao at all and the wide-eyed young man acts like much more than just a friend. From that day on, Sora begins to experience flashbacks in which he is not himself, but a mysterious alternate personality with hidden powers. He begins to search for the secret of his lost memory and the flashbacks, but will Sunao be his companion or his enemy?
3) Read or Die: $9.49
Why? SCHOOLTEACHER SAVES THE WORLD. Do you really need any more persuasion?
Summary: Yomiko Readman is a bespectacled substitute teacher who spends every cent she earns on books. When a weird humanoid riding a buglike monster tries to steal a rare book from her, Yomiko performs some amazing battle moves using pieces of paper as weapons. She's immediately drafted into the British Library Special Engineering Force, assigned to Operation Manuscript Retrieval. The mutant clones of a demented scientist are stealing rare books from libraries around the world. The resurrected scientist plans to destroy the human race by reconstructing and broadcasting Beethoven's lost "Death Symphony," which will compel everyone who hears it to commit suicide: it's up to Yomiko and her teammates to stop him.

Kyou Kara Maou, season two: $24.99
