CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

hmm...ok, this is a new thing I saw at Borders today. I lurk the anime section, so they apparently just started stalking these. I saw two different DVDs titled 'Anime test drive' for $8 each and they claim to have 2 episodes of a certain anime plus 45minutes of trailers. Has anyone else seen/bought one of these?

I got the one for Now and Then, Here and There b/c i'm certain I saw a couple people raving about that series on the forums here. so yeah...the other was Record of Lodoss War(title?)but I only had enough $$ for one of them lol and I dont know much about that anime.

I still have to watch the actual episodic content, but I watched/skimmed most of the '45 minutes of trailers'. bleh. Other than a few obviously familiar titles (Grave of the Fireflies and a couple others i forget) alot of the trailers seemed rather uninteresting 90's anime. (lol...for the record, that's just a lousy sentence. i'm not saying ALL 90's anime is uninteresting..just that these trailers did not inspire all that much fascination lol) So yeah...so much for the trailers lol. Granted I didn't expect much so that's aight. Now hopefully the 2 episodes will be good enough to warrant the $8. ^_^

anyways...I was curious if others had seen these DVDs and could tell me if they were worth buying or not.

To my knowledge these were mainly made in the 90s. Hence, the "old" trailers :-) Honestly, I just see them as fancy adverstising for whatever show they're premiering. Unless they offer anything else unique or signifcantly cool, I'd say they're not really worth the money.....

^ made in the 90s? o.O The back of the DVD definitely says 2001, unless it was a relicense. hmm.. and yeah, I agree on the worth..but if I hadn't bought it I guess I would have mourned. lol...I'll probably give it to the library or something later
