Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Anyone got a series that they'd recommend? Cause I am looking for a manga to read but it has been hard to find a good series to keep reading aside from Berserk.

List completed/reading at the moment:
Dragon Ball Z (who hasn't)
Naruto
Bleach
One Piece
Beelzbub
Fairy Tail
SAO (first season, and half of the visual novel)
Death Note
Rurouni Kenshin
Umineko No Naku Koro Ni
Higurashi no Naku koro ni
GTO
Slam Dunk
Kuroko no Basket
Puella Madoka Magica Magia (it's now what it seems...but I recommend)

Try Claymore. I've only seen the anime but I've heard the manga is pretty good and it continues the story whereas the anime stops early ala Berserk.

^ I'm not sure if they have mangas, but I really enjoyed Gungrave, and Elfen Lied.

Phantom: Requiem for a Phantom does have a manga, and although I haven't read it, I have seem the anime, and it is awesome.

Try Claymore. I've only seen the anime but I've heard the manga is pretty good and it continues the story whereas the anime stops early ala Berserk.

I've done Claymore, but I've gotten a bit bored on it. Maybe I'll pick it up.

I do want to try Phantom: Requiem for a Phantom. I have a thing for stuff that Gen Urobuchi is involved in.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them rolling in.

HBO has picked up Monster to make into a TV show. The anime, while long, is amazing. Guillermo del Toro and Steven Thompson(Sherlock, Dr Who) are involved.

Could be great.

If you're an anime fan and you aren't watching Attack on Titan, then you're doing it wrong. The first five episodes have been amazing.

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Haha, not as excited, but yeah I am watching and it's pretty great. I would up the gore factor if I could though. Feels like it leaves too much to my imagination.

Spoiler

Like when Eren's mother's body was broken and eaten, didn't even see the Titan chewing I don't think.

Just finished Angel Beats. I thought it was good, but the show's bipolar nature held it back imo.

The show is solid, but

I know it's supposed to be tense/scary, but running Titans?

Yeah that, and a lot of the faces they make just throw me off sometimes. It's supposed to be this tense, depressing and scary time when something like that just pops up that makes you laugh your *** off and it ruins it.

IRT Titan, great episode today.

Spoiler

I knew it was him all along. All along with everyone else.

Show is amazing.

I just got around to catching up to attack on titan and I got to say from what I seen I'm liking so far, but the problem I see in the show is that it seems a little rush for my liking. Outside of that I started watching Arata the legend and I also feels this is one anime story that start a little rush, but I was able to get into that.

Also I took about a 3 year break on naruto, but was able to catch up with everything I miss thanks to the crunchyroll 30 day trail, but I think I still need to get around to the 5 movies I miss lol.

Both are based on manga, as they're probably trying to fit as much in as possible. That's the double edged sword when something popular gets animated, especially when the original source material isn't finished.

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Watching East of Eden, pretty good so far.

Man I want to see that Battle of the Gods movie but damn I forgot how annoying the Goku jap voice is. One of the only anime I enjoy English dub voices over the jap with subs.
