Anime/manga
 

Any fans here?

My faves are Neon Genesis Evangelion, Akira, Ghost In The Shell, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL (Fooly Cooly)...pretty much all the ones that have aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block.

Yea, the ones mentioned are good... the rest on adult swim is kinda bunky tho.

FLCL is one of my favorites alongside champloo and bebop... but that's about as far as my anime lking goes... tho I have seen legen of the overfiend once.... banned in america and really fucked up.

Bebop used to be my favorite, but it's been taken over by Samurai Champloo.
Last Exile, FMPF?, Genshiken, Speed Grapher, Crest Of The Stars, Gankutsuou.
I've got a bunch from the winter/fall season I haven't had a chance to watch, yet: Black Cat, Blood+, Cluster Edge, Solty Rei, Jigokou Shoujo, Noein, Gun Sword.
I'm going to limit myself to just Ergo Proxy and maybe Black Lagoon for the spring.

love cowboy bebop, just watched some of noir but that was pretty shite, appleseed is cool

I'm not up to the latest anime stuff. I'm not really sure any of the lastest stuff has been all that great that its gathered much attention. I know there was a "Ghost in the Shell" two that came out a couple years back. Haven't seen it. "Akira" is and always will be the ultimate anime film though I think.

I've only seen Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion. I remember watching one of the Neon Genesis Evangelion movies on television and being completely confused. I should have watched the series first.

Yeah, Eva is probably my favorite anime of all time. But i like Bebop, Gantz, GITS, FLCL, Dead Leaves, Cromartie High, Akira, Rahxephon, Boogiepop Phantom, Trigun, Gundam Wing, Moblile suit gundam, mobil g fighter gundam, 08th MS Team, Gungrave, Tenchi Muyo-universe-in tokyo, etc. Oh, and every Miyazaki film is extremley good.

One question- Was their such a film called Devil Man made by them or did I dream it?

Gundam Wing = All time favorite
Neon Genisis is my second fav

I'm not a huge fan of anime but i like that show FLCL. It's bizarre as fuck with robots coming out of people's heads and fighting with guitars. Plus, the music form the series is really good, it introduced me to one of my new favorite bands the pillows.

Never read any, but I've thought about getting some Bebop stuff at one point; can't remember what changed my mind.

Yeah, the pillows are great. I have the two FLCL OSTs, pretty cool.

Cowboy bebop is my favorite anime.
I got hooked on it around 3-4 years ago.
Its still cool to this day. I also like trigun,
paranio agent, outlaw star, and many others.

puni puni poemi, Excel Saga, Samuria X, Crying Freeman (is classic), Vampire Hunter D & Ninja Scroll. The stuff mentioned here is all good as well.

the only manga stuff i read was blade of immortal. It was awesome but it became boring after 7 books ....

i've been reading yoshihiro tatsumi recently, he blows most other manga writers out of the water. hideshi hino's a good 'un too.

I thought NGE was pretty great. Especially the alternate ending film "End of Evangelion" is partly quite brutal and dark stuff.

But I'm more interested in manga really.

The End of Evangelion is my favorite ending to any anime i've seen. It's just brilliant, a moving experience.

I just recently saw "Ghost In The Shell 2 Innocence", & it blew me away. But, right now I'm watching the series, "Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex".
Other favorites are:
Paranoia Agent
X
FLCL
Akira
(& more)

All of Satoshi Kon's work is amazing; Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers and Paranoia Agent. He also has a new film coming out, Paprika, about a dream detective and it looks like it's gonna be awesome.
