~*Official Anime/Manga/Etc. Thread.*~

WELCOME!

I figured if I was gunna post an anime pic, they were gunna be drunk.

I think you get the picture, but for those of you who like to be spoon fed: This thread for people to discuss and debate issues that pertains to Anime, Manga, Comics in general, or any cartoon that you like.

I'll start us off. I am a big fan of Megatokyo, although I think that it has strayed far from it original premise as parodying stereotypes of video gamers, anime, manga to being a stereotypical manga. I still like it, it's just weird how much it's changed.

On the anime front, I loved Last EXILE. It gets a lot of guff, but it's still my favorite. Also, I love Drawn Together. Racism, sexism, or another offensive -ism is damn funny when it's done right, and Drawn Together does it right.

Anime is alright, I guess. I use to be a huge anime nut but I guess grew out of it. My favorite animation series were probably Ghost in the Shell and Wolf's Rain. And movies? Probably Jin Roh and Princess Mononoke.

Favorite mangas and comics, I'd guess Y: The Last Man, and Chobits. Anything written by Vaughan and Whedon are in my books.

I liked "Princess Mononoke" so much I baught it (I rarely buy anime). But then, I'm kind of a sucker for fantasy that's based in 15th century Japan: Inuyahsa. redface

I like Naruto, but the stories take for ******** ever to develope.

I (capital L) Love kingdom hearts. I actually just beat part 2 a week ago.

I heard Sakura Diaries was odd or was that Excel Saga. question

Back to the ages of power, it's time for us to learn
One day it's far too late, too late for a return

Has anyone seen or heard of Dead Leaves?

It is my favorite anime ever.

I also love Excel Saga, and I read Naruto (manga) up through where Rock is introduced, and lost interest.

(I only got into Naruto after playing a pirated copy of the Gamecube game, and Zabuza just seemed awesome to me. So I read the manga, found out he died really early into it, and lost interest after a while.)

The only anime or manga I want right now is Hellsing. I'll probably borrow a copy next time I see a friend who has it.

Never heard of the former, but I can tell you from experience that Excel Saga is very odd.

The only one that I'm familiar with is "Hellsing." I saw the first several episodes, but never finished due to lack of availability. It seemed pretty cool thought will I was watching it though.

Am I pathetic? I don't watch Anime. I can't seem to get myself into it. It bores me to death.

Nah, you're better off. I'm surprised though, about how many people really aren't in to it. I figured anyone on Gaia got here from their interest in anime. Though, I guess that wasn't a good assumtion considering that I discovered it from web surfing. Oh well. sweatdrop

I didn't like anime at all when I joined up back in '04; a young gal in an art class told me I should join, so I did.

Gaia online is supposed to be a place for those who like Anime and Role-playing but it has evolved to something more than that. It is a good place to meet friends, chat, and discuss things. That is why I joined Gaia.

I don't know...Anime just never really interested me. When I was like 12 or 13 I would watch DBZ with my brother's but even then it was quite boring, and the story-line repetitive and stagnent.

My friends tried to get me into Anime but it never quite worked. If I have time to watch a japanese cartoon, then I have time to play a video-game and video-games are much more fun to waste time on then Anime...at least to me.

That Battle Royale manga was THE s**t. Seriously. Naruto's is also butt-kicking awesomest s**t too. But, Hellsing just owns them all. I hate it when comic books like those spawn off awful anime series. Love Hina is just SO ******** funny i couldn't read that in public without making people laugh their asses off by hearing me laugh my a** off. (no i usually DON'T read in public places, but the bus stop is as good as any other "public place"... right?)

Is the "Battle Royale" manga you're talking about the one that's based of Koushun Takami's novel "Battle Royale" about Jr. High kids that have to kill each other? If so, is it any good, cause the movie wasn't all that good compared to the book. If not, never mind. mrgreen

Dude, it's so good... i can't even THINK of any adjectives that make it justice. I mean... hotdammnit, jr high kids killing each other never seemed so right. aaand i usually don't advocate that kind of behaviour. But to answer your question. Yes. domokun
