Zer0 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I looked around and I didn't find this topic anywhere so I thought I'd start one. What are your favourite Anime's/manga's? At the moment I'm watching Code Geass and loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersoni183 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Does Avatar: The Last Airbender count? Already watched season one last week. I am into season two. Great show! Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco97 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Does Avatar: The Last Airbender count? Already watched season one last week. I am into season two. Great show! Yeah, that is Anime. It is my favourite. Not really into Naruto, or any others really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Does Avatar: The Last Airbender count? Technically, no. The show's character designs are heavily influenced by anime; the show, however, is not generally considered to be "anime" because of its origination in the United States. I do love the show though. I'm not gonna see Shamalamadingdong's movie until ... never. Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

chrisco97 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I thought it was, it really seemed like Anime. But, that is my favourite Anime-type show. Not much into real Anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer0 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Pyro is right, it isnt technically Anime. Naruto is okay, but some of the characters really really annoy me, and the story has just turned into some dramatic crying love feast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 My favorites include Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Samurai Seven, Elfen Lied, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I occasionally read Naruto (the Anime's bad).. I wondere what the Japanese have with the German language. I've often seen random German terms used as titles now (eg. Elfen Lied)..

Zer0 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 I occasionally read Naruto (the Anime's bad).. I used to read Naruto a while back, but i got frustrated not being able to see actually what happened in the fight scenes. Only bad thing about the Anime is the super lame Filler Episodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfifer Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Death Note is great! Although I stopped reading it towards the middle when it started to get a bit boring.

n d Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I used to read lots of manga online. Now that is made pretty much impossible, thanks to greedy publishers who are repeating the mistakes of the music business. Before they brought the hammer on online manga scans, I used to enjoy reading series such as Fullmetal Alchemist (thankfully that one got all the way to the end, the ending was really epic), Gunnm, Gunnm: Last Order (it broke my heart when they put it on hiatus), Blade of the Immortal... Then there's lots of good older stuff, the classics, like Lone wolf and cub, Outlanders... Outlanders was really popular in Japan when it came out in the 90:s, they even made a NES game out of it... I tried playing it on a NES emulator but I can't read japanese so it was a bit hard I'm not that much into anime though. Most of the mangas that have been "ported" as anime suck balls. The first FMA anime for example... they raped the plotline well and good. Although I guess that's a better option than filling the series with neverending filler episodes... I don't really like shonen that much - don't get me wrong, series like Naruto, Bleach et al. can be entertaining but they really lack the depth that you find in more sophisticated works - what really bugs me is this is what most people think manga/anime is, but this is what sells because 12-year-old schoolboys keep gobbling it up, so finding good seinen manga is getting rarer. Kinda sad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The best Manga and Anime was, is and will be Akira. The animation in the anime was the smoothest I've ever seen, but you should read the Mangaa first, because the storyline gets VERY... experimental at the end. Right now I'm reading everything made by Kago Shintaro. It's guro Manga, so nothing for the light-hearted, but that guy is one of the most creative mangaka I've ever seen, sick and twisted ideas everywhere (in one story.. nahh, not here). Everything you read of him makes you go WTF. Google at your own risk.

n d Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hey, then you'd probably enjoy Blade of the immortal. The story gets really nihilistic & dark in the later chapters, and the whole manga is full of splatter and guys getting chopped up... I agree about Akira btw, that's one of the animes I've really enjoyed. The manga was good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontcannon Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I don't read it really for the splatter (eww), it's mostly curiosity. I always ask myself 'What will this guy come up with next?'

Kemaru Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Technically, all animated films/series are Anime and all comics are Manga, but let's not get into that. My favourite manga are Death Note, Reborn!, 07Ghost, Naruto and Bleach. Bleach's pace has slowed down unimaginably and the las 20 chapters have been disappointing... Aizen's omnipotence is ridiculous. I don't watch anime. It's always slower than manga, breaks rules, adds filler episodes and is just plain boring. Viz has recently taken violent measures to combat online manga scanlations, which I find stupid.

yy10 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) The most popular manga is probably One Piece. My favourite is Eyeshield 21 though. Edited August 19, 2010 by yy10 Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfifer Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I doubt One Piece is the most popular, I would say its either Bleach, Naruto, Pokemon or Dragon ball Z Quote Blog                     Twitter                     My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonte Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 actually, Bleach, One Piece and Naruto are considered to be the 3 moast popular anime and manga series (not necessarily in that order). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1cki3 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) But just because it's popular, does that mean they're good? The only mangas i got into were Ghost in the shell, Cowboy Bepop, and DBZ. What other mangas are there besides the obvious ones? I just got into manga Edited August 30, 2010 by St1cki3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonte Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 There are far to many manga out there to make a list. Of the ones I've read and enjoyed, I'd recommend Elfen Lied and Claymore to just about anyone. They're the first 2 manga I've ever read.
