    Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

    I know we have some anime fans on here(trob, cyros, candy, etc). Hopefully this will bring more out of the woodwork.

    What are some of your favorite series? Which would you recommend? I just finished Gantz and was a little disappointed it ended the way it did. you have to read the manga to get the full story since the anime stops way to early.

    Ai Yori Aoshi, Steel Angel Kurumi, Mahoromatic, Love Hina. Those are my favorite. I also started reading volume 1 of Suzuka.


    My roommates are also fan of Chobitz, but I haven't seen any of it.

        I also started reading Venom vs. Virus (I think that's the title at least) but it's edited and I am not a fan of editing manga. That's not just because I am a pervert, but also because when you edit anything some of the authors intent gets edited as well.

          Oh yeah, Suzuka is pretty nice. I've only read the 1st two since they were my friends.

            I check books-a-million every day and I can not find volume 2. When I bought volume 1 they had volume 2 but I didn't buy it because I had no idea if I would like it, big mistake.

              If you saw Neon Genesis Evangelion and enjoyed it, or appreciate anything with a deeper meaning then you will most definitely enjoy this.

                RahXephon made me feel weird lol. Not "real ending of Evangelion" weird but still weird. Very good, though.

                  I really enjoyed Tenchi Muyo.

                  Naruto is a can't miss. Ninja Scroll for the deviant people out there.

                    Yeah, I've had RahXephon on my computer since last summer. Shows you just how lazy I am at watching anime. I also have Gundam Seed Destiny and Shaman King on my computer that I haven't watched.

                      Currently only watching Claymore, not reading any Manga. I have have a lot of stuff backed up on external that I need to watch including Serial Experiments: Lain, The Twelve Kingdoms and Read or Die, the series. I am looking to get into a couple more like Gintama and D. Gray-Man.

                        Is D. Gray Man supposed to be any good? I keep hearing about it.

                          Like with all anime thats good you have those fillers eps, but it's good none the less.

                          anime wise I like, Flame of Recca, Yu Yu Hakusho, Initial D, Gundam 00, Desert Punk is funny, and a bunch of others but I never liked dubbed anime for some reason.

                          Bleach fillers are getting a little better, Shippuden needs to speed up!

                              Where are the anime classics? Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D (the 2nd one... but the first one is hot too) are at the top of the list. It's hard to unseat a classic but Afro Samauri may be my true favorite. Here's a clip.

                              Ghost in the Shell, Animatrix, Gologo 13 (Queen B but the old school ones are good too), Crying Freeman, Ninja Ressurection, X, Fist of the North Star. Heavy Metal 2000 was surprisingly good.

                              Others are Karas, Appleseed, Bleach, Naruto, Cowboy Bebob, Inuyasha.
