Favorite Manga/Anime Series Discussion

[Laijin]

I'm bringing this up cause I'm running out stuff to watch. I've pretty much seen all of last seasons good animes and now the last of them are finally coming to an end. These include Toradora, Hyakko, Casshern Sins, Mitchiko to Hatchin and a few others.

Anyways. My favorite series in order:
Hajime no Ippo
- If you have not seen or read Ippo, wtf are you are doing? This is simply the best series ever and is probably longer than any other anime/manga series you've ever read(Well..maybe the dragonball series is slightly longer..). Anyways its been on going for the last 20+ years and only gets better as it continues. There is never a dull moment and the series manages to keep you entertained all the way through.
Gantz
- Gantz is awesome. Simply amazing. The anime will get you hooked, the manga will keep you hooked. The anime makes up their own ending for the sake of ending it, but the manga is just so much more ridiculous. What makes this series different than most is that they really are not afraid to kill of any character in the series. Main characters will often die in the series, which keeps you entertained since you don't have that comfort feeling that the characters can't possibly die cause their main characters. Besides that, the story, action and character development are all pretty awesome
Berserk
- Do I even need to make a summary for this one? After checking out Ippo and Gantz, your sure to love Berserk too.

Those are my favorite series.

Anime sucks it promotes kids to be weird and anti-social.

Next thing you know you'll see someone dying in the bathroom, trying to become a super saiyan from constipation. Or you'll see some ****** trying to talk to a tree or some ****.

 

[Master Raven]

My top 10 anime:

Evangelion
FLCL
Big O
Gankutsuou
Giant Robo
Full Metal Panic series
Monster
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
Outlaw Star
Code Geass

Code Geass was actually arbitrarily lumped there because I could fit just about any anime that I liked just as much if not moreso in that spot, but it's hard after Outlaw Star.

Haruko from FLCL is my favorite anime character <3333333

Big Duo from Big O is my favorite mech.

I actually haven't watched any new anime in a long time but I really want to get into something good. I'm thinking of trying out the Nanoha series.

 

[ph00tbag]

The only shows that I've enjoyed to the fullest possible extent:

Haibane Renmei
Azumanga Daioh
Noir

Other stuff has been good for distracting myself, but not really deeply appealing.

 

[Samus_ABe]

ok so here it goes sorry if these are too mainstream but imo they're the best

full metal alchemist- if you dont like this there is something wrong with you, between the music, characters, and crazy storyline, this is what anime is supposed to be. the english dub was also actually really good props to funimation

cowboy bebop- ok ummm...can you say anime without mentioning this show? the show that would be become a genre in itself, cowboy bebop is the ultimate must see, and watanabe is a fvcking god. its almost unfair to even call this show anime, it is a work of art all in itself...

deathnote- i've literally gotten like six people to watch this who don't even watch anime, and they all watched it in like a span of 3 days....the show that so ****ed up that it was banned entirely in china, death note is the best anime to come out of the last three years....dont watch the english dub cause its corny....

paranoia agent- if you've seen this you kno why its good its really fvcking trippy and cool..watch out for lil' slugger

naruto- if you don't like it suck it, but this show can still bring tears to my eyes...the dbz of the next generation, this show is fvcking amazing...i still read the manga every friday!!

bleach- like naruto, but with different characters and swords....good **** shonen jump

 

[Zoro]

Hajime no ippo- boxing anime

Eyeshield 21- football anime

One piece -my favorite anime ever its stupid but funny and all about fighting its like dbz but funnier and weirder.

Dragonball z- best there is was will be

theres a million mangas that i liked i just dont remember any of em.

 

[Kingblack56]

Gantz......That is all

 

[Frames]

eva

the end

 

[Lore]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

that's all I need.

...and Lucky Star, Code Geass, and Gurren Lagann. But shut up. >_<

Manga: Mirai Nikki right now. Never saw that twist coming.

 

[The Alpha Gundam]

Currently reading Naruto *stop watching the anime cause of fillers >.>*
Code Geass
Monster
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni kai
Cowboy Bebop
Gundam 00 and Wing
I seen a lot more but i just wanted to make a short list

Clearly you are a baka gaijin who knows nothing of the glorious land of Nippon!

Spoiler

no but seriously anime sucks ****.

Spoiler

I did however like Gurren Lagann and Samurai Champloo.

 

[NickRiddle]

Ga-rei Zero was ****ing amazing IMO.
Code Geass was surprisingly good. (If you can get through the first few ****ty eps)
Kenshin's good.
DBZ is good.
Naruto manga's okay, thankfully it should be ending this year.
Too many to list. -.-

 

[CO]

FLCL will always be my favorite. Gurren Lagann is one I recently watched that I really enjoyed. And anything Suzumiya Haruhi(the light novels need to come out here quicker).

Manga, I keep up with Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Ouran. I read Bleach too, but refuse to admit I like it. Tite Kubo should have kept Zombie Powder going.

[Darktemplio]

[Vts]

Elfen Lied. I dont really like anime, yet this one was badass!

which part the whole ripping people apart just by thinking it or the girl with horns lol.

u should watch Higurashi no naku koro ni its really good or just watch the youtube version of where it shows all the killing and the girl who rips off her own finger nails ( it made my fingers hurt watching her do that)

 

[Darktemplio]

**** that anime sounds pretty intense!

lol, as for your question, I think the ripping apart with the mind definitely got my attention

 

[Toobz]

Read Blade of the Immortal. Best manga ever (and the only one i've read/will read). The anime is ok, but not as good.

Someone does'nt know about Hajime no Ippo.
BotI is alright. :\

 

[Master Raven]

For Evangelion fans, the teaser trailer for Rebuild of Eva 2.0 has been leaked via cell phone rip.

I can't wait!

 

[Toobz]

Someone does'nt know about Hajime no Ippo.
BotI is alright. :\

Lol! Hajime no Ippo looks pretty fun. I'm on episode 4 and its pretty awesome!

 

[ihavespaceblondes]

Kind of an old series, but I've been marathoning Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku for the weeaboos) for the past week or so (at 52 episodes, it's going to take awhile). It's pretty much hilarious; breaks the fourth wall constantly, makes insulting references to other anime, either breaks cliches into pieces or overdoes them, etc. It's basically old Family Guy (before it started sucking) in anime form.

 

[tubes]

Lol! Hajime no Ippo looks pretty fun. I'm on episode 4 and its pretty awesome!

well ****. now I'll have to change my name to like tubbbes or some ****.

 

[yummynbeefy]

well ive never been really into anime itself
but i have really liked pokemon, yugioh, DBZ, trigun, and expecially death note that show is plain LAWL

 

[Laijin]

well ****. now I'll have to change my name to like tubbbes or some ****.

yea..that kind of confused me.
Cause I played Tubez last saturday.
Then I saw a Tubes being posted about on the same day.
So im like "This man went to two tournaments in one day at different places? wtf"

 

[Toobz]

Um, Toobz, not Tubez.
