Yes if the author is from Japan.

Only manga I've ever read was the prequels and sequels to Gundam Wing, before they ended the universe in Endless Waltz (stupid move that was). Not bad, but I prefer the animated stuff, never got into comic books from here either.

I like the darker stuff.

One that I can't get into is Deathnote. Thats just too damn weird, even for me. Thats about the darkest one I've ever seen.

Another was that "Big-O" series. Never made any sense to me, and it seems like they just played the same 7 or 8 episodes on a loop- every time I tried to watch, it was an episode I'd seen multiple times already.

I used to be a big Inuyasha/Trigun fan. I guess its cause the main characters act like total dumbarses at times.

Edit: and Gundam was a good series, but lost interest after Gundam seed.

Loved Inuyasha, recorded the whole series on my comp and watched the vast majority of it in one marathon weekend.

I haven't seen all Gundam until Gundam-00 was aired this fall.

And to Gundam admirers - the new Gundam looks promising. It's also the first anime in HD (High Vision as the call it in Japan). Seriously... does an anime have to be in high definition??????

I like the stuff that mixes conventional animation with computer graphics (like Zoids and Ghost in the Shell did), that stuff would look awesome in HD.

Miroku is funny. Especially his quote after Sango smacks the living carp outta him "it was worth the pain"

I think the best Gundam series was 08th MS Team- it was like a gritty, ultra-real war movie set in a future with walking robots- and the animation was spectacular.

Followed a unit of normal grunts instead of the usual anime "super-soldiers". Was very well done, wish they'd run it on Cartoon Network again. Even censored for US TV it rocked.

Treize, looks pretty cool, I'll definitely check that out. Also, found the series I referred to. I really got into it, so I guess I am a manga fan. (And I won't mention the H word around you anymore

)

Battle Angel Alita

only anime I ever liked

after I was about 10 I gave up on it.

Treize69 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 21, 2008, 05:38:39 PM »

I loved that show when I was kid- tried watching it recently and couldn't make it through an episode. Had a Voltron that was as tall as me, boy was that a great Christmas morning....

Same with Transformers.

In the funny pictures thread, the girl that MG posted was Iori Yoshizuki from the anime/manga I"s. The manga version is 15 volumes long, which makes it a very good story to read from beginning to end. What I really found as interesting was that in the manga, she was born on 3/21/81, where I was born on 3/12/81. (I about crapped myself when I read that)

I dont even know where to start on my favorites, theres too many that I like to really choose a favorite.

One the the funniest I seen is called "Ninin ga Shinobuden" (Ninja Nonsense).

I'll have more but since I just got home, I have some work to take care of.
