Anime/Manga Thread!

**fOrceez** · 07-15-2011 01:42 PM

Tell us about your favourite anime/manga and why? Can include up to 3.

Myself:
Angel Beats, although it's short, it has some good comedic moments (that suit my humor) and has a decent storyline.
Naruto, i've been following it since early season 1.
Bleach, funny moments, I like the whole spirits thing going on.

And discuss!

**SilverDreams** · 07-15-2011 01:45 PM

Mine are:

Hellsing: Because I'm just a fan of badass alucard.
Ao no Exorcist: Funny, Good action, Nice storyline.
Deathnote: I'm into the whole dark idea that there is a book that can kill, Just by writing someones name in it.

**fOrceez** · 07-15-2011 01:46 PM

Yay~ Deathnote is awesome. I loved how genius Light and L were. ;D

**SilverDreams** · 07-15-2011 01:49 PM

The events of DN annoyed me, Especially when (Censored) died.

**fOrceez** · 07-15-2011 01:54 PM

Agreed, no one can compare to him.

I havent watched a lot of anime, so ill just list the ones ive watched

Code Geass: Awesome anime that slowly begins to make no sense. HAs AWESOME action scenes.
Soul Eater: First 20 episodes: EPIC! Second 20: ASS
Senjou no Valkyria: based off one of my favourite video games, so i watched it. Its pretty good, but not as great as the other ones. All the characters are emo for like 4 episodes

Gurren Lagann: HOLY SHIT SICK ANIME! AWESOME FIGHT SCENES AND...... AWESOME!
Dragon Ball Z: Do i need to explain the greatness of this anime?
Pokemon: See: Dragon Ball Z

**fOrceez** · 07-15-2011 02:03 PM

Whatta you mean Code Geass makes no sense? That anime was sent by the gods themselves.

Wrap that in a spoilers tag... i was thinking about watching Death note, but you and your spoilers not in spoilers tags ruined it

i might still watch it tho. Its not like one spoiler is gonna keep me from watching it.

**SilverDreams** · 07-15-2011 02:21 PM

I'm so sorry. It was such an idotic thing to do, It must be because its late here and I'm so tired and focused on LDing.

**Solarflare** · 07-15-2011 02:23 PM

the end of the anime with the masks and crap, wtf was happening?

**fOrceez** · 07-15-2011 02:28 PM

What're you talking about?

**Maria92** · 07-15-2011 02:32 PM

Bobobo-bo Bo Bo-bobo

It's brilliantly ridiculous.

**SilverDreams** · 07-16-2011 01:51 AM

I'm going to give Code Geass a try

yes YES YES!

**SilverDreams** · 07-16-2011 02:25 AM

I've had about 6 eps on my laptop for a month now, I just havent gotten around to watching it.

**Velarious** · 07-16-2011 02:35 AM

Code geass is a really good anime, probably the best one i've ever seen.

**SilverDreams** · 07-16-2011 04:32 AM

Yeah. Code Geasss [I]is[I] awesome. Just watched the first ep.

**Windhover@** · 10-25-2011 03:51 PM

Ergo Proxy: just. AWESOME. the main character resembles Amy Lee from Evanescence. after I knew about lucid dreaming I realized that it talks about Carl Gustav Jung's psycotherapy on dreams. it also talks about dream walking. non-LDs are cool.
Naruto: my childhood...I'm reading the manga. I dont watch anime anymore.
BLAME!(manga): awesome art and drawings. looks like american-graphic novel. I think its more brilliant than a graphic novel... this manga is the one which inspired I-robot!! (maybe?)
Azumanga Daioh: nice-cute-high school-anime ^^
Wolf's Rain: cool wolves tryin to find paradise. I cried a bit at the end.
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt: a 100 dollar bill buried in a shit. it's a drug!! I get high when I watch it!!!!

**StaySharp** · 10-27-2011 02:58 PM

Elfen Lied: Isn't an 18+ anime for no reason. But there's a pretty deep story for those who look beyond the red flood. Also I watched this quite a few years ago, when I was far away from being 18. It gave me the gift of thorough thought about the life I live and the planet I walk on. I probably wouldn't even be here without randomly deciding to watch that anime.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Has a pretty deep and complex story, one might not understand until watching season 2. Usually I don't like horror at all but Higurashi is just doing it right in my opinion. Again very 18+.
Utawarerumono: Another pretty interesting story, with twists up to the end.

Code Geass is also fairly awesome, but it requires quite some brains to completely follow the story.
Bobobo-bo Bo Bo-bobo is one of the things I want to watch sometime, after seeing a few of the ridiculous episodes on TV.

**Ilumirath** · 10-27-2011 08:33 PM

Elfen Lied: Just like StaySharp said it's an anime with a deep story, and shitloads of bloodshed =D

Girls Bravo: Hilarious and perverted anime =)

Sekirei: Also perverted and funny

We have an anime/manga thread? Anyway...

Best Anime:
Gosick - A mystery story set in Europe. I really like the art and the characters, even though Victorique was a bit of a brat in the beginning.
Shinryaku! Ika Musume (aka Squid Girl) - Squid girl is... Well... Just watch it. It's crazy and fun, and episodic so you can watch it at a leisurely pace (or in a whole day if you're like me

).

I also liked Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, one of my very first anime series'.
Gintama is hilarious, but I've only seen like 10 episodes of it.

Best Manga:
Fairy Tail - The name is misleading, it's not like that at all. Really intense fighting scenes and awesome characters.
Rave Master - written by the same guy who writes Fairy Tail. Very VERY cliched action/adventure manga. Main character meets girl, uses sword, saves the world from evil. You know how it goes. Still a great read though.

Is anyone watching any new fall anime? I'm watching Guilty Crown, Un-Go and Squid Girl season 2.

**Galvatron** · 11-03-2011 02:48 AM

Hokuto No Ken AKA Fist of the North Star - Why? Cause its a badass 80's anime.
Atatatatatatatata Waaaaaataaaaaaahhh "Omae wa mo Shindeiru!"

Sakigake!! Otokojuku! - Why? Cause its a badass 80's anime.
"Washi ga Otokojuku Jukuchō Edajima Heihachi de aru!!"
