CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

So it was my birthday about a week ago, and I got a bunch of stuff, including some gift cards.
And after buying Blame! 1-2 I now have $30.00 left on my gift card for Barnes and Nobles.
And after buying Ruin Soldier, I now have 25.00 + on my Best Buy gift card

Barnes and Nobles - $30.00
Best Buy - $25.00 (Or anything around $30.00)

I'm thinking I want manga from BN but I don't know which ones...
And I either want anime or movies from Best Buy.

Oh, and I'm thinking about either Death Note or Fruit Basket, but I'm wondering if Fruits Basket is a shojo manga...?

So just tell me what you guys think I ought to buy

Thanks! Aaron

If you want my two cents, Fruits Basket is excellent. From what I have read of the manga (and I havn't read all of it, mind) it is excellent, and I really enjoyed the anime. It may be shojo, but plenty of guys like it. I've never seen Death Note so I can't compare the two, but Fruits Basket would definately be worth your while to check out.

but I'm wondering if Fruits Basket is a shojo manga...?

It is targeted towards girls, yes, but I know many guys who like it. You could skim through it in the store. (It's mainly a shojo because of the art style.)

death note is really good too, they're both excellent choices. why not getting one of each, and whichever one you like better get the 2nd volume of?

30 dollars. I HIGHLY recommend buying volume 1 of Monster. It is my favorite series of all time. I KID THEE NOT you will NOT be dissapointed. Trust me on this Spend 10 dollars on Monster. And like the other 20 on Death Note (or 1 volume of Monster/Death Note/Fruit Baskets)

Yay for monster!! I agree, excellent series. I'm going to have to invest in that one someday. Of course, I have many things to invest in right now, so who knows when that will be. I vote for monster as well, but go for what appeals to you -- I dunno what you're looking for... sci-fi? realistic fiction? fantasy? Monster is a realistic suspense.

Sweet! Thanks a lot you guys! I spotted Monster for the first time the other day, and picked it up but put it back. I'm thinking that was a bad choice...lol
I'll probably get one of each like you guys suggested.

Thanks, and feel free to post as many ideas as you have, as I'm always open.

Do you have the third Inuyasha movie?That would be a good one to buy.
