Looking for a good manga/anime series

Post Reply New Topic

Paranoia Agent
Serial Experiments Lain
Berserk
Fantastic Children
Ouran High School Host Club
...and yes, Sailor Moon.....

and i haven't seen Cowboy Bebop and Gunslinger Girl but i suspect those are good and i'm actually thinking about watching those....

so yeah, you can look into those and if you like the description you can watch them...

I've seen Serial Experiments Lain and Gunslinger Girl. They're both very well done, but S.E. Lain is pretty creepy and Gunslinger Girl is really sad. I was thinking about giving both of them another chance, though.

I suggest

The Demon Ororon (manga)
Alichino (manga)
FLCL (manga/anime)
Legal Drug (manga)
Dokebi Bride (Korean manga)
Hellsing (both original anime and OVA version plus manga)
neon genesis evangelion (anime/manga)
Ghost in the shell and Ghost in the shell stand alone complex (anime/manga)
Trigun (anime/ unsure about manga)
Witch Hunter Robin (anime/ unsure about manga)
Android Kikaider: The Animation (anime)
Inuyasha (anime/manga)
Code Geass (anime/ unsure about manga)
s-cry-ed (anime/ unsure about manga)
Akira (not a series but its a really good movie/manga)

I would suggest some more but I can't remember the rest grr if I do I will post those as well.

One Piece both non-dubbed but subbed anime and manga

Death Note, Medabots and Digimon Tamers are good.

l like zoids... the one with Bit and his Liger.... I had an Aztek white on top gray on bottom...and I named it Liger... and I was Bit

Bleach (subbed or dubbed anime/manga)

Naruto (anime/manga)

Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime)

Seconded. The anime series is pretty good on its own, but if you want to become a hardcore fan you'll need to watch the OVAs and/or read the manga.

I must warn you: it is very violent and contains foul language, and the OVAs and manga contain imagery that some people may find offensive (*cough*Millennium*cough*).

If you like Hellsing, another good one is Trinity Blood. There are three versions, each one telling separate stories than the others: anime, manga and novels. I personally prefer the anime and I kind of like the manga, but I have too much trouble sitting still to read the novels.

Haibane Renmei's just great. Good for you for picking it up.

Can't wait until the 2nd season of Gunslinger Girl comes out.

Something else you should look into is Princess Tutu. Very imaginative. Plus Princess Nine.

Based on what you've posted, I'd recommend Hare Nochi Guu, Keroro Gunsou/Sgt. Frog (before a certain point where it became nothing but fanservice, that is) and Hayate the Combat Butler. All very funny shows with endearing characters, with random humor and awkward situations abound.

Aaaand, even though it's a much different feel than the stuff you've mentioned, just because I'm amazed by this show right now I'm gonna go ahead and mention Baccano!. Eccentric but lovable characters, wacky humor, violence that ranges from comedic to horrifying to somewhere in between, a clever plot and way of conveying it... yeah, it's nifty.

I forgot to mention Figure 17. It's also the only anime series I've seen with an hour long format. Gives them a lot of time for developing the two leads.
