Anime and Manga Discussion

edited May 2014 in General Chat

Anyone here interested in watching anime or reading manga?

I haven't seen that many shows myself but I enjoy watching them here and there. I'm particular a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist (both series, though Brotherhood moreso), Attack on Titan (Mikasa's awesome), Samurai Champloo, and Blood Plus. Also Gintama for the lulz. Death Note was also pretty interesting, but I didn't get into it as much as I did the others.

I also dabbled in a few of the more popular ones like Bleach and Naruto, but those got pretty stale, I felt. And I've seen some of Soul Eater, D.Gray-man, and a few others that I liked but still never really got into.

Which anime/manga series are you guys into? And please remember to spoiler-tag whenever necessary.

  • Full Metal Alchemist (both) are pretty good, though to me they are some dead areas. The Boondocks is drawn using that style so I'd include that. Deadman Wonderland had an interesting premise but is there more than 12 episodes. I liked Death Note as well, but that were some dead spots. I did not get into Ghost in a Shell (SAC), Blue Exorcist, Bleach or Naruto. I have Samurai Champloo and Blood on queue.

  • I've been watching a few on netflix lately. Sword Art Online was okay for the first half, not really excited about it. Then Welcome to the NHK which I really liked.... And the last one I watched was Chaos Head, which I didn't really care for. Cowboy Bebop is still my favorite though, and I saw a few episodes of Hellsing and liked that. Oh, and Trigun of course.

    I haven't seen any of what the OP and first reply mentioned(besides Boondocks) but I know Attack on Titan is on netflix so I'll probably check that out.

  • Samurai Champloo comes from the same guy who made Cowboy Bebop, so I'd recommend checking that one out.

  • I wouldn't consider me as the typical 'Otaku' but i like certain Stuff. I'm a Hardcore Fan of the Dragonball Franchise since 1998. It was a huge Part of my Life. Also i had tons of Merchandise. Still have some like Action Figures ^^. Once i also had every released Videogame on Sonys Consoles from PS1-PS2. Left this Path on PS3 after Raging Blast 2.

    Back as a Kid the Original Pokemon, early Yu-Gi-Oh, Monster Rancher, Digimon. You know, every big Series of the 90s/00s.

    These Days Titles like Helsing, Gantz, Fist of the North Star (Dragonball for reaaal Men xD), Azumanga Daioh (pretty hilarious), Highschool of the Dead, Deadman Wonderland. Fairy Tail and Toriko a bit.

  • The guilty king orders you to watch Guilty Crown. I fucking loved it so much, that I am still hyping it even though it ended two years ago.

  • Yu-Gi-Oh!
  • I like the abridged version, if that counts. ;)

  • Dragon ball, Digimon (as a kid), Pokemon (as a kid) and Soul Eater.
  • I am proud of you, Goustttt. You have good taste.
  • I'm a huge fan of Death note.I would like to see Telltale do a game about it
  • I watched Attack on Titan up until about the 21st episode, it was great. I meant to finish it when the other episodes came out, but I never got around to it. I hear the manga is pretty good too.

    Other than that, I like Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Kill La Kill, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Junji Ito's works. I've been meaning to watch so many other shows, but I'm lazy.
  • Yeah I watch both.

    If anyone's interested, I recently made a Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood AMV with the song Demons by Imagine Dragons. It's quite spoiler-y though so don't watch it if you haven't seen all the episodes.

    Here's the link ---> www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiLF4bHSCvo
  • Ah, since Dome is posting his AMVs. I will do it with my 3 as well. They, too, are spoiler-y, so if you ever want to watch Guilty Crown, you might wanna pass on them.
