My brother is going to be home recovering from outpatient surgery for a couple of weeks. He likes anime, but isn't avid enough about it to know what to look for, so I thought I'd try to rent some good ones for him to help pass the time.

Any recommendations?

Ok Doug I give up, 'Anime' ?

Japanese animation, usually derived from 'manga' or comic books. Big robots, stupid sidekicks, cackling evil guys, etc.

Akira is the only "Anime" movie I have seen. It is pretty amazing from an animation point of view...just do not ask me to explain the plot!

Ah So !
