I used to rent anime from blockbuster all the time. With their outragously long return policy, and growing selection of anime (depends on the location), you can see a lot more and pay a lot less as apposed to buying (as i'm sure you would assume). Since i've seen most of what they now have to offer at my local store, i don't rent anime as often, except for when they get in something new.
The only thing i'd watch out for is their tendancy to have incomplete sets. If you don't check thoroughly, and rent the first half of a series, then go to get the next half and they don't have one (god knows why), its really irritating. When i rented gits for the first time, i thought there was just 6 volumes, since thats what blockbuster had, but then it turned out they just didn't have 7, which i learned to late
