Anime and Manga

[KingCrab]

What Manga/Anime are you watching or reading?

At first I watched mainly Mainstream such as Inyuyasha, Naruto (and Shippuden), and Bleach. Naruto was the only one I continued to stay interested in. Dragonball Z was a classic anime I watched.

I also recently started an anime called Wolf's Rain where two people got their jugulars ripped out in the first episode, so it's good so far.

FLCL is forever my favorite anime. It's a great coming-of-age story and the soundtrack kicks ass.


A couple more of my favorites are Serial Experiments Lain and Cowboy Bebop,
and I found an old vhs of a series called "All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku" that's completely insane.

Also, watch Akira.

[KingCrab]

Akira seems more like a classic anime movie to me. It has a slightly older style to it.

I've heard Fairy Tale is good but have yet to watch it.

[PolakWithABlock]

Neon Genesis Evangelion
just to start things off

[KingCrab]

Im on episode 24 of 30 of Wolfs Rain now and I must say things took a turn for the better. The story was well written and progresses fluently and smoothly enough to keep you interested.

I recommend Ebichu, it's slightly NSFW (Actually quite a lot), but it's short (each ep. is 10 minutes, there're 24 in total) and every episode is tremendously hilarious.

Just thought I would share ^^

^ cant unsee!!

[KingCrab]

What the hell did I just watch???

[Aleries]

I found Maria+Holic's art style and humor refreshingly enjoyable. AnimeNetwork currently has the first season on YouTube.

Here's the first episode:

I've heard Fairy Tale is good but have yet to watch it.

Actually it's called Fairy Tail, and yeah that is nice

that's a clip of it.

And I like an Anime called Beelzebub. It's about an evil (sort of) High School student that was chosen to take care of the Demon King's baby. It's kinda nice.

[KingCrab]

Maybe I'll give Fairy Tail a try.

Anyways I finished up Wolf's Rain and it was absolutely fantastic.

Here's a clip from way earlier on that wont spoil anything.

Also, I believe I've heard of Beezlebub but never really looked into it.

EDIT: Just finished the first episode of Fairy Tail. Not the greatest dub, but still not bad so far. Only the first episode so I won't judge quite yet.

Anyone who is serious about Anime and Manga have probably seen this.

I'm mostly a manga person myself and keen on D.Gray-man although the mangaka has recently gotten a hand injury that has slowed her down to a measly chapter a month.

I do like beezlebub which was mention earlier, and I started off with fruits basket (or furuba) which is a bit of a girly-girl manga but still really enjoyable. Fairy tail is also awesome and so is Fullmetal alchemist.

I read a manga called psyren recently and it wasn't all that bad and so I'd say give that a shot. 007 ghost, ao no exorcist, Degeki daisy, Gaken alice and Kuroshitsuji (or black butler as it's more commonly known) and Ouran high school host club are also quite enjoyable.

Been reading "AIKI" of late and it is absolutely insane! literally, it makes no real sense whatsoever but maybe that's why I am so addicted? haha
I love the way this mangaka draws and the faces are just priceless so I would definitely advise checking it out, it has mild sex + nakedness involved but it doesn't really interfere with whatever plot the manga actually has.

Hope you had fun reading my wall of text :/

After I am finished with Fairy Tail, this is on my agenda.

[kattoo]

Quite an old french-japanese anime about the lost mayan cities of gold. I used to watch the shit out of this when I was 6-7 years old and I suspect Lim might have seen it aswell as it was aired on polish national television back in the beginning of the '90s.

[Ninjawolf]

I mainly read... since i have like 7 months of nothing i read

Naruto
Bleach
One Piece
Fairy Tail
Mahou Sensei Negima
Claymore
Full Metal Alchemist
Detective Conan
Air Gear
Kekkaishi
The world only god knows
Prince of tennis
New prince of tennis
Death note
and about 5 more i dont really remember signifigantly

I have an app on my iphone called Manga reader i got for free that has plenty of mangas to ready, all categories!

Oh right and i forgot im currently in the middle of Hajime No ippo (its 900 chapters long....)
and Beelzebub

Edit: I Finished Hunter x Hunter, Ao no exorcist, Pandora Hearts, Pysren, Veritas, Tower of God, The Breaker, Toriko, SWOT, Gamaran. I am currently reading ID, started it yesterday, on chapter 143 i believe. I really like it, nice story, unique characters. I recommend reading it

[KingCrab]

I have the Manga Reader as well.


Anyways, just bumped this to give Fairy Tail my seal of approval. I am on episode 90, and even though I try to stay away from anime that is mainstream, I must say that this one has some excellent writers behind it.

Considering I will be hopefully taking a trip to Japan sometime, I plan on meeting the people who write it.

[burn22]

Hunter x hunter, kenichi the strongest disciple, naruto, bleach, death note, One piece, fairy tale, Afro samurai, shin Chang. And many more

[KingCrab]

Oh God, Afro Samurai XD

Also, I just finished every episode of Fairy Tail that is currently out.

I must say that this one has some excellent writers behind it.

This is an understatement.

Next on the list: Neon Genesis Evangelion or Inuyasha (Used to watch it when I was younger, but the series only went so far on Adult swim)

[Allie]

Toradora! is my favorite animu of all time. But, I'm a sucker for romantic comedies that make me cry my eyes out.

Clannad is recommended from me then

I watched that many years ago

[KingCrab]

Finished Neon Genesis and...

[Aleries]

I recently watched and recommend Angel Beats. Its a short 13 episode series containing action parts mixed with comedy and drama.

IMDb: Angel Beats!

It's been a while since I've kicked the habit, but my top three were:

1) Cowboy Bebop

2) Samurai Champloo

3) FLCL

The opening credits for the first two should give you an idea of the artistic style of the two shows, which, I absolutely loved. Dubl was kind enough to link the trailer to FLCL, already, so I will refrain.

Edit: One should never fail to mention Azumanga Daioh, which, at first glance, seems like an animu for the ladies, but really is just too quirky to pass up.
