Nice Filler. I hit up their 80% off sale too and got 9 DVD sets (since it was free shipping on $75). Just couldn't pass up 80% off a while back. First anime I've bought in a LONG while. I got...
The Ambitions of Oda Nobuna
Gate
Monster Musume - Everyday Life with Monster Girls
No Game No Life
Campione
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere Complete
Chivalry of a Failed Knight
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
Blade Dance of the Elementalers
Wish I had had more, there were a few others I'd love to have grabbed like Log Horizon or Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, but I spent too much as it is. Maybe if they have it again since they're going to stop carrying DVD's soon.

Nice. I checked into the local Australian service AnimeLab and found several of those after cursory browsing. Like: Blade Dance of the Elementalers, Black Butler (Sounds similar to Batman as a young boy), Chivalry of a Failed Knight, No Game No Life and Log Horizon to name a few.
These are really some good tips. Later on I'm going to browse through the list at the site and find more matches. But I may not exactly warm up to the anime (eg. Log Horizon, No Game No Life) that has plots about gaming worlds that the characters play in. They seem kinda like turn-offs to me. I also would avoid the shonen anime like Digimon Adventure Tri. I saw a few episodes of it at Crunchyroll and it was really flat, with no pulse. Just no 'life in it'.
So I saw just one episode of 'Dimension W', it's a sci-fi, futuristic city world-type of scenario and it was really good as a starter. So it depends on each viewer's tastes, I guess.
Heck they even have Date a Live (2013), where there was a fan-translated SFC game licensed from that anime. Hyperdimension Neptunia may be just a touch too kitsch to watch, heh.
