Plea for Help for my Xmas List

[arccie]

Hey hoo,

Guess, what?

Yes, this is Arccie actually speaking. I'm not dead. (groans of disappointment are not appreciated thank you very much!!!)

I've started working on my fanfics again, so I'll try and be productive and actually publish something in my other journal sometime soon. I feel like such a slacker. I think it's been about 3 months since I actually did any writing (and I have soo forgotten my writing style, I've mangled it with other influences)

Anyway, I need some help to pick out my christmas present. I'm shipping over an anime boxset, but I don't know what to choose. Any help or thoughts at all will be of great help.



What do I like in an anime series?
Well, pretty (slashable) boys are always appreciated.
Good quality art/animation (preeety is good)
Good plot line, with an acceptable satisfying end (no...build up to the climax, build up build up and then "flop")...and when I mean plot, I mean actual plot PoT crack story lines are OK, but EXCEL saga, not really my thing.
I probably prefer action series, or at least series that have a fair deal of actionable scenes (I like Fruits Basket, but examining my collection it seems one of the rare series that isn't full of action)
Oh, and preferable main characters that aren't annoying i.e. don't want to make me smother myself with a pillow in embarassment of them or that spend the entire time bragging.



This is the list of possible animes:

(ones I actually know something about)
Outlaw Star
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Rurouni Kenshin
Escaflowne
Rahxephon
Sorcerer Hunters
Peacemaker
Pilot Candidate
GadGuard
Wolf's Rain
Generator Gawl
Chrono Crusade
Hack Sign
Arjuna

(ones I've heard are good, but know nothing about)
Berserk
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Yukikaze
Lodoss War
Aquarian Age
Betterman
Soul Hunter
Wild Arms
Dai-Guard
Android Kikaider
Kaleido Star
Key the Metal Idol


...Yes I know that's a long list, but I'm an indecisive person, and I'm all like "ooh ANIME!"

Any other series recommendations would be cool, and I can take them into consideration for birthday and christmas's later on.
I really want GSeed, Saiyuki and Soukyu no Fafner (the main character is so almost another Kira), but as no box sets, it's too expensive to get them shipped over here.

Oh christmas time, oh christmas time, why are you making my life difficult?

I suppose it's because you can't be everyone's sister, and using a japanese nickname for you might imply I actually have some sort of understanding of the language, so I'll stick with the home grown variety of endearments...
...plus you're munchkin like (not a reference to height in anyway)

Isn't there something "off" with Escaflowne's noses though i.e. really big and distracting?

...and my address is on the way to your email account

*pokes*
How's the stress life keeping you?

...are we still planning to work on that lego plot?

Yes... there is something off with their noses... but, hey my brother bought that series so I saw it for free.

I got your address, and now we can snail mail, yay.

This week was Hell actually. FLunked a bunch of crap because everything happened this week... meaning I could do some of everything but not all of what I needed to do... make calculus and physics and chemistry go away! I cry at it -_-. ANd my god the rehersals and crap, just got back from curling and Japanese dance practise today... ebleh... kill me now.

We are so doing the lego plot, I just need to write it. But it will get done. How can we deny Yoh and us crackheads the joy of a lego shoe fetish? I think not.

Pssst... I still like Kenshin.

FREE entertainment is always the best. There's never as many flaws when you didn't fork out the money for it yourself.

Snail mail...I haven't heard that term in a while.
I think the last letter I got that wasn't a bank statement was from my grandmother.
Oo

*pats B-kins*
Don't you hate it when they do that to you? Society needs a new rule: "no more than one major event can happen per week"

Does it look like your schedule will calm down any time soon?

I'm not sure how much stress you can take before you'll be mean and grumpy (I've seen it happen) I don't want B-kins to chnage.

There is no denying Yoh. If we did, I think we might get an unpleasant visit from Hao.

I really want Kenshin, but it seems like it's come down to price considerations too. (I'll just have to wait and see if the price goes down by my birthday next year)

Then I'm going to send you a letter one day.... when I have some time...

Society needs a new rule: "no more than one major event can happen per week"
I'd campaigne for that like potition sign smack down.

My schedule... I have three modes. Busy, Really Busy, and OMGKILLMENOW busy. Last week I was at at mode three and this week I'm at 2... so it's better? I think it'll simmer down to just busy after this weekend (curling comp to finish up and the what not).

I'm never grumpy ^_^... Even when I want to throttle something I'm pleasent in appearances... No one's really seen me actually mad. I just get annoyed and irked at times, and maybe semi-pissed )not that I let it show).

But if Hao showed up on my doorstep I'd have to force him to do strange things to amuse me... or plant ideas into his head about Yoh.

My family just gives me money... so I never have to worry about these things ^_^
