I used to rent anime too before I started buying them (with the exception of BGC Tokyo 2040 which I bought the individual DVD volumes after seeing it on SBS). I remember the first was Samurai X Trust & Betrayal which was such a good choice leading me to buy the DVD. Personally I rented anime to test it out if it was good enough to buy but I'm sure that's part of the point of renting anyway.
After Samurai X I continued to rent Rurouni Kenshin tv series on VHS until volume 10 after that I continued on with the DVD's, my local VideoEzy was still kinda limited on animes available for rent at the time so I tried out other animes like Excel Saga, Chobits, Ninja Scroll Resurrection, Voices of a Distant Star and Tokyo Babylon. Out of those list so far, the only one I actually went out and bought after renting was Voices of a Distant Star.
I haven't rented any animes for years now cos right now I'm focusing on buying the Madman releases of animes that I downloaded awhile ago (Fumoffu, Midori no Hibi, etc) and also partly cos I used my older sister's account to rent in the first place lol XD.
