Anime

[Puruun]

DesLife said this was a good idea, so..

Talk about your favourite Anime and Manga here!

Has anybody seen The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya?

[SuperSunshine]

TMOHS is my favourite manga/anime love the novels too

[Puruun]

I loved it, but the Infinite Eight episodes were a real torture to watch.

[DesLife]

Never heard of this... has anyone here has read Shamo ? I'm reading 20th Century Boys atm, and my favorites mangas are... hm... One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Vagabond, Monster, FMA. I love Shamo too but it's quite special (I truly doubt you'd like it ahah). Oh, and the worst manga I've ever read must be Bleach.

Do you only read shojo mangas ?

[Puruun]

About manga, the only manga I ever read was Fruits Basket, which is a Shoujo. (I have the first seven parts in my bookcase, going to collect the rest ) I prefer to watch anime though. (Except when male characters are voiced by women. Gah, I hate that.) I watch both Shounen and Shoujo anime (I try to watch as much as possible).

Anime I've seen so far:
Yu-Gi-Oh! (just the Japan-only one)
Inuyasha
Vampire Knight
Azumanga Daioh! (Still have to finish that one..)
ToraDora!
Full Metal Alchemist (My favourite, I'm going to watch Brotherhood when the full English Dub is up for download)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Death Note
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
Princess Mononoke
Ponyo (Japanese without subtitles, didn't understand it )
Hetalia: Axis Powers
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

One Piece and Love Hina are waiting to be watched.

Btw that Shamo one seems pretty depressive

Indeed ! It's really, really, really dark.

You should try some seinen too. Watch Monster, you won't regret it (oh btw that girl in my sig is a character from Monster), and Cowboy Bebop too !

i read BLEACH (kubo is such a troll to his fans ff kills off the awesome guys. ) but i quit with naruto. argghhh naruto was boring and it kept going on for chapters (one fight look like 10 chapters) it was like Dragonball Z all over again

and i read a few shoujous like revolutionary girl uthena and sailor moon (because i used to watch it when i was little)

but right now i need to finish the anime of HIgurashi no naku koro ni and higurashi no naku koro ni kai. heck i named my hoodlum murderer after that anime.

Has anyone noticed that Japanese titles never make any sense? Even the few that I'm used to hearing, like “Metal Gear Solid” and “Final Fantasy”. The titles seem rather... disjointed. And abstract.

Well it's probably because you haven't heard a lot of titles. Most of them make sense.

Naruto's better than Bleach though, but it's getting worse and worse... it's a shame, the second part could have been great.

[Serza5]

The only manga i've read is Sugar Sugar Rune. Oh and i've read thee Axis Powers manga too.

I started watching Naruto and got bored with it, haven't watched Bleach though.

[El Dango]

I used to like Dragonball, but then it completely lost its charm.

[IllarKallas]

Animes that i have seen:

Naruto
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Only some chapters)
Death Note (Only like 2 chapters)

I dont like Naruto now.

[RayLums]

When I was young I saw all animes of Zatch Bell, and I like this even now ! I like Mär, Death Note, D-Gray Man, and recently, Black Bulter ! I agree with you, Naruto is so crappy now...

[kristaldoodle]

oh gosh zatch bell i used to watch that too 8D but when i saw the original i HAD to laugh at how much they had to take out of the japanese one to bring it over here overseas XD :
i really love parco folgores voice actor since he voices in the transformers animated dub in japan. while megatron is Norio Wakamoto (fffff wakamoto is awesome)

[MadMan]

Hey SLoL, could ya tell me bout Death note? I like vampire animes and I'd like to know more bout them.

p.s. Has anyone here watched the incarnation of awesomness on earth which is known by the name of Hellsing? (if you're under 9, don't like blood, don't like maniac vampires shooting all over the place and don't like zombies don't watch it.)

[DesLife]

Hey SLoL, could ya tell me bout Death note? I like vampire animes and I'd like to know more bout them.

There isn't a single vampire in this anime.

[MadMan]

Oooooooh.... What is it bout then?

[DesLife]

The series centers on Light Yagami, a high school student who discovers a supernatural notebook, the "Death Note", dropped on Earth by a shinigami (death god) named Ryuk. The Death Note grants its user the ability to kill anyone whose face they have seen, by writing the victim's name in the notebook. The story follows Light's attempt to create and rule a world cleansed of evil using the notebook, and the complex conflict between him, his opponents and a mysterious detective known to the world only as L.

There's 12 volumes for the manga and about 50 episodes for the anime, it's truly great.

[Cairnie]

You should have been at MCM expo last year there were like 15 people both male and female dressed up as L alone.

Only real manga I've properly read was the second volume of a Tezuka one called Buddha, and I'd like to try and find the other volumes at some point. Read the first volume of Naruto as well, and I was surprised to find it OK unlike the anime.

[Haruka]

Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are among my favourite movies.
