HOLY CRAP WHY DIDN'T I MENTION HELL GIRL?!?

Have One and Two, watched one, two, and part of a random one in the second season.

AWESOME!

i recommend that one too, because it's depressing and awesome. Yeah...very vague.

 

[Sansha]

Oh, I want to join!

I go through phases, but here's the animes/manga I'm generally interested in:

Anime:
- Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni
-Elfen Lied
-Deathnote
- Hellsing
- Chobits
- Rurouni Kenshin
- .hack//sign
- FMA

Manga:
-Chobits
-Fruits Basket
-Life
-MARS

Honestly, I haven't found many Animes/Mangas lately that I really liked, it feels like my interest is sort of dying, so if you guys have any recommendations that you think I might like, feel free to throw them out there, all is appreciated. :3

I've made it my life's mission for everyone to know the joy that is Azumanga Daioh, but it's more at the Chobits end of the spectrum than the Elfin Lied.
It's... absolutely brilliant but has no plot at all. The manga's set out like Peanuts comic strips.

And if murder mysteries are your thing, Detective Conan is absolutely excellent.

 

[spaekle]

I dunno if you'd really like it just based on what you listed, but I recommend DN Angel. It's a fantasy/romance series. Read the manga, though. The manga is amazing and has amazing artwork. The anime has good music, but is mostly fillers and they crapped over the storyline.

Also seconding Samurai Champloo. Dang, I need to watch that again.

 

[Storm Earth and Fire]

I suggest reading and watching anything else by CLAMP.

 

[spaekle]

Ooh, for CLAMP stuff, I love Tokyo Babylon. :D XXXHOLiC isn't a bad series either.

 

[Flora]

CCS. And Tsubasa. That's all I read by them. (Man, I need new addictions.)

 

[surskitty]

CLAMP's art style is kinda agh though. Tiny tiny TINY heads. Aaaaaaa D;

 

[Sansha]

Oh, I can't believe I didn't add in Samurai Champloo and Azumanga Diaoh! I knew my list was small but I couldn't remember what was missing, those two are amazing.

And as for all the other things you guys suggested I'll be sure to check it out, thanks so much.

I've heard alot of good things about DN angel, I just never bothered to get into it before.

CLAMP's art style is kinda agh though. Tiny tiny TINY heads. Aaaaaaa D;

I know exactly what you mean by that, it's bugged me forever. xD

 

[surskitty]

It's like, CLAMP art is pretty as long as they don't go below the neck. But aa hands are the same size as the face, the human body is about five heads tall, etc etc. Everything else is in proportion! It's just. tiny tiny heads. Same reason I can't read superhero comics usually.

 

[Minkyoya]

I want to join! ^^

My favorite manga and anime is Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I just love Hibari and Gokudera. <3
I also like all of the CLAMP works and am currently into TRC. ^^

 

[spaekle]

The typical CLAMP style is kind of 'meh', although I do like the eyes. Though I remember watching the 'Holic anime and getting annoyed at how all the people were like 15 feet tall. D:

 

[surskitty]

My favorite manga and anime is Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I just love Hibari and Gokudera. <3

Needs more Hibird. Midori tanabiku Namimori no, dai naku shou naku nami ga ii~ Hibari's so great, he adopts tiny yellow birds while being held captive by fruity pineapple bastards.

Although I'm surprised Spanner isn't on that list, judging by his current fandom popularity! mainly because he's a. a geek, b. obsessive about everything including Japan, c. fairly attractive even if his expression is v creepy, and d. stripped + kidnapped + handcuffed the main character to a futon. GO FANDOM GO how long did it take for the Spanner/Tsuna community to show up after chapter 181?

honestly most of the cast is great. Kyoko's kinda bland, but Haru and Hana are neat! Chrome's amusing in some of the extras. The Kokuyou Land bit of Life With Everybody! was amusing~ go go go Chrome SHOOT KEN WITH YOUR WATER GUN that's one way to get him to bathe

[spaekle]

I dunno, I was seeing some SUCK ON MY LOLLIPOP TSUNA :D stuff quite a while back, before I even knew who Spanner was. Also angsty rape fanfics. But checking Deviantart again, the fandom has grown considerably.

Don't think I really have a number one favorite character. Everyone's special in their own special way. :] Most of the extras I've seen are pretty awesome. There's something inexplicably amazing about Hibari riding a turtle to an undersea castle from that one folktale I forgot.

 

[Dragon_night]

I've been putting it off a while now, but I'm joining!

And currently I'm reading the pokemon Manga (It's awesome so far. I just hope it doesn't turn out like the anime >_>)

Ooo! And I love CLAMP (and I find that I'm used to the 15ft tall people in XXXHolic ^^)

 

[surskitty]

I think it took like three hours between the spoilers for 181 being posted and suckxburn (the 4827 lj community, go go super tuna) showing up! which coincidentally happened like a week and a half after I started reading KHR ahaha. And I hadn't seen anything involving Spanner/Tsuna prior to that, not that that's a shock since the whole "HEY LOOK TSUNA IS HANDCUFFED TO HIS BED. WHILE IN HIS BOXERS. LET'S SHIP THIS" thing was for that chapter.

I haven't looked at the fandom on dA, just LJ. It's kind of popular in a few certain circles though! ... hasn't gotten mainstream yet. I blame the anime not being licensed and the manga being kind of irrelevant (but hilarious) for the first seven? volumes. I don't think the Viz translation of Kokuyo arc has started yet?


Everyone is great. I think I like Gokudera, Colonnello, Viper, Lissuria, and probably Mukuro most, though. GO GO FABULOUS GAY BOXER NECROPHILES \o/ Lissuria Third Street is epic.

Hibari encountered a turtle that was being bullied, so he rescued the turtle. He was invited into the Dragon King's palace... and it was annihilated. O HIBARI SCREW UP MORE JAPANESE LEGENDS

also this piece of fanart w/ context is great


THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY AN OMAKE i have my doubts because of content but the art looks right and it'd be great if it actually was one. If it isn't, then it's amusing fanart. WIN/WIN

 

[Dannichu]

I've been having fun looking up everything on TV Tropes today and it's great fun - I especially reccommend the Evangelion section if you've seen the anime.

This made me smile, though, because it's so true (from the Yotsuba page)

The series has been described by one reviewer as "printed joy". Azuma somehow manages to create a series that's both feel-good happy and side-splittingly hilarious. Not for nothing is the series motto "Enjoy Everything."

And this, about Azumanga:

Azumanga Daioh has been described as "Peanuts on LSD", which seems more or less accurate. It's a bit of an acquired taste, but if you're in the right mood, it can be hilarious.

In other related-to-anime/manga-but-not-related-to-the-discussion-at-hand news, I got volume 17 for Fruits Basket. Maaaan that series just gets darker and darker.

I don't like Spanner. x_X [He's popular? O_O]
He isn't cool, kinda weird, stripped Tsuna and is a traitor-ish-we-don't-know-what-he's-thinking-kid. XD;
(I have biased opinions)

Hana is really neat. XD
I should have included Dino, because I like him despite his tattoo. Also, Viper, Bel...ALL of Varia is cool.

It would be scary if Queen Marmon were to lift his jacket and reveal his face...[strike]Wait, how do Bel and Marmon fight if they can't see a thing[/strike]

Sadly, I'm beginning to like Squalo, because it's Squalo, and because he is awesome in the video games. x_x

 

[spaekle]

Yes. Bel is awesome. He doesn't need eyes. He sees with his awesomeness. :D

I should check out Azumanga. And PokeSpecial.
