Reddit reviews Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 Motion Comic (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Hmmmmm. Tough to say. I think something that is unmistakably tied to the show would be cool, but the first thing that comes to mind - something like Buffy's cross - is too generic. This Etsy page has some good BtVS-themes stuff, although most of it is not something that you'd see in the show but rather things emblazoned with Buffy trademark images or phrases. I think the "grrr...argh!" earrings are awesome, personally.

The aforementioned Gem of Amara ring would probably be my top choice, although it is a tad more expensive. The Gem of Amara enables Vampires to go outside during the day, so it's a pretty sought-after item in the Buffyverse. The one being sold looks like a really good copy of the one in the show. Moonfire makes a replica of Anya amulet that's also pretty cool.

I don't know if your sister is into comicbooks or knows about these, but there is a series of Buffy graphic novels that continues the story after the end of the series. They're available in physical 'dead tree' editions and e-versions through Comixology, Amazon Google Play, etc. The series is overseen by Joss Whedon, Buffy's creator, so they are pretty decent quality. There's also a "motion comic" of the eighth season available on Blu-Ray and streaming video. It does not feature any of the original actors but it's pretty decent anyway.

Ahh this? That's not an animated series. It's a motion comic. Motion comics are completely different things. They're basically voice acted comic books with very very minor animation. They did one for Whedon's X-men run too. Some of it is on YouTube.

Personally I hate Motion Comics though. I love animated shows. I love comic books. But motion comics are an abomination. They're always stilted and unnatural feeling and I have yet to see one that even really "works" for me.

Personally, I'm for watching crossovers in order but with switching back and forth as infrequently as possible. I stick to a season of buffy til there is gonna be a crossover then i hop to the angel season that goes along side it til i have that caught up and switch etc.. but thats from someone who is watching dvd box sets and watches several episodes per day in a watchthrough.. for slower watches the way you are doing I would think just sorting them all into airing order would be better. This guide works for either method. All episodes listed in chronological order, episodes best seen after catching up on both shows prior are listed in red. And I just noticed this is the same link you posted, lol.. 1 thing I would add to it though, the Buffy season 8 motion comic is totally worth adding to the end of the list.
