Anime & Manga

[cookymonster]

^Man, Monster is not only the best anime I've ever seen but probably the most intriguing story out of any book/movie I've ever come across. Do you know what happens in the end of the manga??!!! I'm dying to know.

[djflame]

What anime do you love to watch? Mostly shonen, I like Bleach, One Piece, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Seed and Wing, Some ruoroni kenshin and naruto

What manga do you love to read? Same as above

What do you recommend? Most of you ladies wouldn't like shonen (anime targeted at males ) but cowboy bebop is a fanastically carfted piece of art.

What's the first one you saw/read? Cowboy Bebop and Gundam Wing in the 90s.

You're sure you want to know? That would ruin the pleasure of reading it / watching it, wouldn't it?
Only thing I can say without any spoiler is that personally I didn't like the end of the manga that much, it was kinda...confused...imho.
I got the impression that Urasawa-sensei went a bit too far, putting too many subplots, and finally got a bit lost in the end...
I hope he'll do better with 20th CB!

Yeah, I still wanna know because I get Monster by bittorrent and there hasn't been any new released episodes for over 2 months. I skimmed the rest of the story using online manga translations but got confused at the ending. I do agree that Urasawa added too many subplots but it was pretty darned good overall. It's not like the subplots were bad or anything, just very difficult to wrap up.

Do you mind pming me a short summary of the ending?

I don't know much about this, but I have seen some manga for older teenage girls and the drawings are very beautiful. Particularly yaoi has really well-made characters and bodies and clothes... I think

[pillarist]

So far, my favorite anime that I own/watch (not including movies):

Lain: Serial Experiments
Haibane Renmei
Someday's Dreamers (yes, this is a total chick anime but whatevz )
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Neon Genisis Evangelion
Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (1st & 2nd Gig)
RahXephon
Wolf's Rain
Paranoia Agent
Samurai Seven

- Cheers

Angel Sanctuary. I read through all 20 volumes of the manga. It was so good. Petshop of Horrors also.

As for anime, I think Ayashi no Ceres and Naruto as of now. Ayashi no Ceres made me cry a bit.

[cookymonster]

^I like Angel Sanctuary too but sometimes it's kind of difficult to read because the dialogue is all over the place. Plus sometimes it just TRIES too hard, IMO, especially with the incest love between Sara and Setsuna. Sorry, I'm an open-minded person but I have an older brother too and imagining our relationship any more than siblings is just plain gross.

Has anyone ever seen or read Bleach??!!!! It's my new obsession.
