Anime and Manga

olivers · Post by **olivers** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 8:22 am

The O/T board has been a bit quiet recently so needs a new topic.

I know a few people on the forum are into a bit of anime/manga so this should liven stuff up.

What i'm watching at the moment:

Naruto (subbed version, not the bad Toonami translation)
Fate/Stay Night (best anime at the moment)

And reading:

Maho Sensei Negima (magic teacher Negima)
Battle Royale
Ai Yori Aoshi (bit girly but I liked Love Hina)
GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)
Remote

So who's next

Well, you cant miss the Naruto episodes, even though theyr only fillers at the moment.

I dont watch anime or read manga as I used to, been cought by World of Warcraft

The animes I would recomend:

Transformers (maybe more like cartoons, but they are still good)
Wolf's rain (OMG Wolfs!)
Elfen lied (It involves alot of blood and nudity)
Hellsing (You cant be a real anime freak if you havent seen this serie!)
Hack//sign (no comment)

Thats what I can remember for now, I'll maybe add some later.

Tried to read my brothers copy of Helsing (he loves it) but couldn't get into it. He also likes Berserk but can't get into that either.

I liked Elfen Lied, watched the anime but haven't read the manga

I have loads at home I have to watch, don't have time.

What the hell????? lol

Last Manga film I saw was Millenium Actress. Nothing to shout about really, but I watch them from a film-lovers perspective, I don't actually get right into it that much.

I loved Millenium Actress. Bit hard to watch at first due to the way the film maker puts himself in her back story.

Paul, I have all of GITS:SAC 1st and 2nd Gig with Tachikoma specials. I have the 1st Gig on DVD and avi and the 2nd Gig as avi.

Either PM me or send me an email oliver.steeples 'at' virgin.net if your interested. I don't want to turn the forum into a file swapping site.

Will have to bring a list to AWS 20

I've been a busy boy recently watching loads of anime and reading the occasional manga so I thought I would kick this topic into life.

Gunslinger Girl, young girls trained to be assassins. 30 mins of name that gun
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, 1st ep is bad. Others are good. Recommended
High School Girls, just finished watching this and nothing special
Ikki Tousen (Battle Vixens), bit childish for me
Ai Yori Aoshi, I liked it. Sort of toned down Love Hina
Popotan, not sure why I downloaded this
Love Love, thought was less perverted than it is
Rumbling Hearts, can see why this is a top rated anime
