How about that Anime and Manga

[Ultra]

We don't seem to have anime and manga gen topic yet, so let's have one.

Talking about Japanese shit in 3 2 1 go.

Damnit how in hell is Death Note not the best manga. And the part where L reveals that

The other two best detectives in the world are aliases. That's like... That's like a lot of detectives that you are being. How many best detectives in the world can one man be? 3 I guess.

Batman can never get that level of awesome.

Apparently we had exactly 47 pages of anime talk in us and we used it all up.

tower of god

its a korean manga aka manhwa but its GOOD

damn GOOD

Why am I still trying to finish Ergo Proxy after six months?
Why is nothing happening?

On an completely different note. Baccano! is an amazing show and everyone should watch it, because it's only thriteen episodes (don't count 14-16), and it has Brooklyn accents. BROOKLYN. ACCENTS. (Dub's amazing, just sayin'.)

I still haven't managed to get past the first episode of that. Same with Death Note. It's probably the hipster deep down inside me screaming "no! Too many people like these things for me to like it too!"

I'd advise you ignore the hipster. Baccano! is well deserving of its popularity.

Death Note...in theory. In action, not so much. There's a lot of "things not happening".

Guys, I need some some new manga suggestions. And don't say bleach because everyone has said that and it makes me want to strangle the suggestor. I want something thats not running anymore and not being milked.

Well, what have you read and enjoyed before?
Off the top of my head I'd say Full Metal Alchemist, but I don't know if you've read it/it's your style.

I second the Fullmetal Alchemist suggestion. the first TV series is okay, but I preferred Brotherhood.

I recommend 20th Century Boys, Id, and SaiKaNo. I have no idea what genre you like, so check those out.
I would have recommended Yureka, but it's still ongoing.

[Raikonos]

This seems like as good a time as any for me to recommend Eureka Seven Psalms of Planets Eureka seveN Eureka Seven. I first watched it years ago because a friend named it as his absolute favourite anime ever, and I can see why. It continues to amaze me how easily and adeptly the show manages to jump between comedy, drama, action and romance.

Just don't expect tons of mech fights just because there are mechas LFOs mechas. Like I said, the show jumps between genres a fair bit, and the focus is usually more on the characters.



Did I mention the mechas are surfing mechas? Who surf on light?

Mobile suit gundam is the best anime in existence.
The into is basically, this song and then some guy saying half of the human population is dead.
Good contrast.

There is this Manga about wine tasting that hasn't come out in America yet. I'm really excited for it though because I'm a legit stooge.

Gaze at it! Gaaaaze!
Edit: Spoilers but your eyes will glance over them because you are a lowblood who has no taste for fine wine.

I'm watching Higurashi no naku koro ni kai right now and it's kind of boring. The first series was pretty interesting but this one is so dull...

The last two series I watched were Madoka and Cromartie High School and they were both exceptional. I don't hear about it too much, but Natsume Yuujincho is a good one that I was fully prepared to dislike, now one of my favorites. It's similar to Mushishi but not THAT awesome.

[ShadowOfFate]

Visual novels.

Are the best.
Better than any anime. 83

[CSJ]

See this? This is an Anime series worth watching.

Twice.

Zeta was better

[Billiards Slick]

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is my favorite anime.
can you tell

[The Fiend]

My favorite anime is Baccano! It has all the things I like. Gangsters, the Supernatural, over the top comedy and violence, plot twists, and a halfway decent dub.

[errorabbit]

Baccano is a pretty masterpiece of nonlinear storytelling indeed!
Rail Tracer is the coolest insane solipsist in anime. (It probably doesn't have many of those)

Most recent excellent series I finished was Revolutionary Girl Utena. Actually pretty old, but it has solid animation and is just generally cool. All fencing, Jungian Psychology and Gnosticism... turns very weird.
The joke-episodes are also hilarious. SURFING ELEPHANTS!

Ok, so, two words.....BIG O.

Look at that mech! Ridiculous, you say? Yeah, ridiculously awesome! You get piston punched, you're done!



What about this suave dude? See those eyebrows!? How can he not be awesome!?

Seriously though, Big O is one of my all time faves. The WTF factor rises pretty high throughout the show, especially near the end but don't let that stop you. Just go along for the ride. If it interests you, it's been compared to Batman the Animated Series in terms of style and action.

Even if you don't care for the show, please check out the soundtrack. Some of the best blues/jazz music in anime can be found here. On a rainy day, nothing beats this:

anyone else reading The World God Only Knows?
