PLOT PLUS STAFF INFO.

BEST ON-LINE ANIME SHOPs

Infinite Ryvius is a futuristic Space Adventure Anime with romance, actions, dramas and friendships. 300 high-school students trapped in the high-tech spaceshatle called, Ryvius and they try to find the way to get back to the Earth. The great SiFi Drama.

KARESHI KANOJYO NO JIJYO~

Kare Kano is a love comedy story set in high school. The story is about Yukino Miyazawa, a high-school girl, who had cared too much about her appearance and played the honor student at school, decided to be herself after meeting a boy named Soichiro Arima. Made by Hideaki Anno and GAINAX (maker of "Evangelion").

Some say "LAIN's" story is very close to Evangelion's. The theme is loss of actuality or self-identity crisis in computer network and cyberspace

3 bears since the story could have been exapanded more and luck of explaination. Great OP music and sounds.16 episodes. (DVD/VHS)

MACROSS PLUS (OAV)

Macross Plus is one of the Macross sagas. The drawings and animations are excellent in quality. Music is awesome too. The story of Macross Plus centers on the love triangle between three old friends, reunited after seven years apart. Full of machine actions!!

4 episodes (DVD/VHS)

MARTIAN SUCCESSOR NADESICO

The Nadesico's main plot is about the space battleship fighting against the invaders from Jupiter. This anime contains elements of all time popular various Japanese animes. Everything from love, actions, comedy to dramas.

26 episodes. (DVD/VHS)

One Piece is a great action adventure from manga by Oda Eiichiroh. It was a time when pirates ruled the seas. Young pirate named Luffy and his buddies search for the great hidden treasure called, One Piece.

5 bears! One of my favorite Animes. 183 episodes + Anime is still continuing.

Outlawster is Hight speed SiFi adventure. The main character, Gene Starwind searches for the meaning of his past aboard, the "Outlaw Star" with his discrepant but adept group of crew members.

26 episodes (DVD/VHS)

PLEASE SAVE MY EARTH

Please Save My Earth: The story is a revenge after reincarnation. But its main theme is much bigger than that. The sad thing is that this 6 episodes OVA ends before getting into the fantastic finales. Recommend that you get the original MANGA written by SAKI HIWATARI to understand the Big theme of Please Save My Earth.

6 episodes (DVD/VHS)

18 + 143 episodes (DVD/VHS)

Based on Rumiko Takahashi's (famous for Urusei Yatsura) popular manga. If you're into romantic comedy and martial-arts action, you'll love this one.

12 episodes. (DVD/VHS)

TRIGUN is one of the best Anime that I watched this year! The basic plot is the main character Vash the Stampede traveling from town to town while trying to avoid the hordes of bounty hunters attempting to cash in on the huge bounty on his head. It comes with SiFi, Drama, Gun Actions, Romance and Comedy. Very Good!

26 episodes (DVD/VHS)

URUSEI YATSURA (by Rumiko Takahashi) comes with full of Sci-Fi, romance and "gag" comedy. About the half of its TV series are directed by Mamoru Oshii (directed "Patlabor."

218 episodes. (DVD/VHS)
