One thing I've noticed about anime DVDs is that we don't see many taglines. This was inspired by Cracked's "Sarcastic Taglines" collection.
Don't worry. I learned my lesson from the Brutally Honest Anime Titles. This will contain less bias against franchises.
Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box Collection- We know we already released this series 20 times, but what's 20 more? It's the only franchise keeping this company afloat, considering the Otaku inability to support the official release.
Pokemon: Season 1- Relive the good old days when Ash was only a noob, there weren't more Pokemon than stars in the galaxy, and 4Kids still had credibility as a dubbing company.
Fist of the North Star- He can kill you just by poking you... Admit it, you think that's freaken awesome.
Lucky Star- 'Family Guy' meets 'Seinfeld.' Don't worry, there's no dead baby humor and political bias.
Ranma 1/2- Action, thrills, and finding out who left the toilet seat up!
InuYasha- From the creator of 'Ranma 1/2' comes the exact same thing, only with more filler!
Naruto: Season 6- Sure, the fillers start here, but disc one should be worth it, right?
Akira- You might as well buy this. It's not like the remake has a decided cast.
Fullmetal Alchemist- For the first time... Man has seen the unbelievable... An adaptation that consists mostly of filler, but still manages to still be an iconic series.
FMA: Brotherhood- The fans were patient for the manga to end for this. It's a shame the animators weren't.
Dragon Ball GT- From the studio that brought such neccessary sequels like 'Battle Royale II: Requim' and 'Fist of the North Star II' comes the ending fans truely wanted.
Shin-chan (Funimation Dub)- What better way to honor Yoshito Usui's memory by filling his iconic franchise with jokes about domestic abuse, gay jokes, and more character derailment than a filler episode of 'Naruto.' Usui definately isn't turning in his grave.
Sgt. Frog- Sure, the 'Gundam' product placement lacks subtlety, but look at it this way: it does a better job at making you want to buy robot model kits than 'Gundam SEED: Destiny'.
Love Hina- Americans like Domestic Abuse humor, right?
Negima! OVAs- Fourth time is the charm, right?
One Piece (4Kids dub)- Toei Animation didn't care when they sold the rights, so why should you?
Shaman King (uncut 4Kids dub)- Did you enjoy seeing 'Shaman King' in it's uncut glory? Too bad!
High School of the Dead- When the boobs aren't distracting the audience, the annoying characters sure as hell will.
Samurai Champloo- What Spike Spiegel did before 'Cowboy Bebop'.
Desert Punk- Still think Subs always beat Dubs?
Hetalia- It's not racist. Everyone is equally an offensive stereotype.
Fruits Basket- Romance, comedy, and perfect for drinking games.
Vampire Knight- If you despise 'Twilight,' you will enjoy this.
End of Evangelion- If you thought 'Mass Effect 3' was a middle finger for the viewer, you haven't seen anything yet.
Gurren Laggann Movie 1- If you loved the series, you'll love this 90 minute clip-show.
Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Brolly- Watch and be amazed as one of the most badass movie villains gets reduced to a brain-damaged blob that gets killed by water.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya- The episode order is screwed up. The perfect marketing strategy!

Thumbs up for Hetalia!
Sprited Away-won an Oscar, so you will just check it no matter what.
Maria Sama Ga Miteru- Provides you the most unrealistic portray of Catholic Girls High Schools since previous series. High-school lesbianism as an alternative way of peace and love for our children.
Rose of the Versailles- Description of deadly decadent court turns you into god old-tile royalist in less than 3 episodes.
Only Yesterday- True tale of single just about to turn 30 without idea for her life. Don't cry over her, unlike you, she at least has friends.
Mononoke- the closest thing to real absinthe you can obtain legally.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes- by history nerds, about history nerds, for history nerds.
Utena Epic tale about adolescence , breaking old habits and finding true self and re-define your life... WE HAVE LESBIANS
Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi- 47 episodes of messing with China's total classic. Watch and pose as you had read it all we don't take responsibility for speaking about this anime to actual ROTK fans
Victorian Romance Emma- beautiful story where brave maid wins a heart of good for nothing merchant heir, causing no social scandal in XIX century London. Plus Hindu prince advocating for the freedom of heart and equality of all people.

Durarara!- We don't actually know what this is about, but it's fun to watch
Hellsing- Vampire hunting vampires + vampire Nazis + secret Vatican vampire hunters = lots and lots of blood, guts and gore

FMA- The moral of the story is "Don't try to revive your dead Mother" here's a box set of why!
Dragon Ball Z- this box set contains 25% more sayan Power ups than the previous set did get it now while its hot!
One Piece- this box set has 36 of the latest episodes with 4 minutes each of intro for a whopping total of 144 minutes we didn't have to animate for you.
Nazo_no_Kanojo_X- you know we've run out of idea's when? the premiss of the show is a girl sticking her saliva covered finger into the MC's mouth every day!
High School of the Dead- Yes Boobs can be used as a bi-pod for an automatic weapon.
Saki Episode of Side A -For all you young boys who didn't get enough Big Boob references in the first series.
Death Note- its true if your in a bind an apple will get your death god to bail you out !

Well, I remember one of the danger signs of studio overlicensing of current TV series sight-unseen, that lead to the US Anime Recession, was best symbolized by Funimation's real tagline for Shuffle!, although I don't know whether they were trying to be sarcastic:
"Wanna see 30 panty shots in twenty minutes?"

Er...the heck??
Was thinking more along the lines of:
Lucky Star - Yes, they're talking about snacks. Japanese girls don't have complex lives.
A few other fixes:
Akira - Remember when you thought you were cool because you'd heard of it?
Ranma 1/2 - Yes, they can't stay out of the bathtubs, but it's probably the only show your friends will understand at first!
Sgt. Frog - So, is this where those dub writers went when they were kicked off of Lupin III?
Howl's Moving Castle - Admit it, it's this and Spirited Away and you've never even SEEN any of the others, have you?
Negima! OVAs - The franchise that can't take a hint.

Not trying to sound like a buzz kill here but is there a point to this thread? I mean that as in is there supposed to be some sort of discussion or consensus on any of the taglines or are we just supposed to list random ones off?

Shangri-La - If you would love to see a girl in a short skirt destroy tanks with a giant boomerang, you will love the first episode, and added bonus of the rest of series filled with confusing enviromental politics talk. And trannies.
Hanamaru Kindergarten - A show about kindergarteners for otaku, somehow it is still the most adorable thing you will see.
Mitsudomoe - A hillarious comedy with elementry students filled with blood, pee and snot, and pedophilia jokes.
B Gata H Kei - She ain't a slut if she is a virgin.
Chobits - You will never look at your PC the same way again.
Asobi ni Iku yo - Best aliens ever.

Can't resist adding this one:
Dance in the Vampire Bund - It's not really lolicon because she's, y'know, actually hundreds of years old. In fact, it's the reverse: a cradle-robbing female vampire.
