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.

[Cyros]

Anime:
Ronin Warriors
Black Cat
Gundam Seed
Flame of Recca
Tenjo Tenghe

Manga:
Black Cat (definate differences)
iD_eNTITY (about a bunch of kids playing an immersive MMO)
PhD: Phantasy Degree (same author as iD real fantasy aspect)
Lament of the Lamb (Drama series about a family with a vampiric like blood disease)
Flame of Recca (Much longer than the anime and more details)
Full Metal Panic (Take a militant youth, stick him in HS, and watch the hilarity ensue. Toss in a dash of Mech action for good taste.)

Manga and Anime I need to read/watch:
Shadow SKkill
RahXephon
Arm of Kannon
Witchblade (Those of you with Xbox Live can download the first episode for free)

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.
