This is where we all can hang out and talk about anime and manga.
I usually watch Naruto and read all of the comics like I used too, but I don't do it often.

Also, has anyone here seen Bleach?

I can't watch Naruto...

No cable, no Naruto.

Oh well, me and my video games can bond more.

My favorite is Yakitate Japan with Midori no Hibi a close second.

It's safe to say you'd recommend Midori Days then? I saw the first episode at Otakon, and a friend of mine is absolutely obsessed with the series. It looked to have a lot of comedy in store, but I could also see that ruined by an overly romantic overtone. I did enjoy Love Hina, however, so if it's anything like that, that'd be great.

As for my favorite Anime & Manga, I guess I would have to hand it over to Record of Lodoss War.

I like Naruto. This is for Aarom and anyone else who likes it.

Characters I like:

Haku (Yeah, I know he looks like a girl.)
Zabuza
Kakashi
Gaara
Naruto
Rock Lee

Characters I hate:

Sasuke (He's always mad, so I don't like him.)
Itachi (He's the reason Sasuke is so mad, so I don't like him)

Characters I think are weird:

Sakura
Ino
Others.....

I like One Piece, but that has been killed by 4Kids. Bobobo is kinda crappy too.

What, no perverted hermit on your list? You phail.

Itachi's awesome though. That guy flicked Sasuke's strongest attack away from him without even trying.

Sasuke? Huh? Is that name common as a hero's name or something? 'cause in Final Fantasy 1 & 2 Dawn of Souls, the strongest weapon (aside from the masamune) for the Ninja was changed from "katana" to "Sasuke's Blade" from the original verion. Hmm...

Anime and manga are cool. My favorite are probably One Piece. Too bad the anime had to get stuck with 4Krap and Viz sometimes uses renames by the dubbed version. Either way, it's one of the things that got me into pirates.

I also like FLCL, DB/Z (subbed only for DBZ. The dub is terrible) GTO, Paranoia Agent, Naruto, etc.

HolyAarom · « **Reply #10 on:** January 08, 2006, 02:25:55 PM »

At least Naruto wasn't dubbed that much.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2006, 03:18:25 PM »

Yeah, but when Kakashi used lightning blade againts Zabuza, his hand didn't punch through Haku. That was really dumb......

AZN is a great network for REAL anime or manga, that is if you can get it.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2006, 07:37:32 PM »

Naruto was 100% dubbed. It just happens to be kind of a good one (which is I think what you meant) ;)

Heck yeah I'd recommend Midori Days. I don't know how much romance is too much for you, Black Mage, but it wasn't too much for me. I've only seen the first four eps of Love Hina so I don't know how much romance that would be.

I'll also note here that the Japanese Bo-bobo is AWESOME and the American Bo-bobo has a horrific voice and Kogepan rules. Why do I like so many shows about bread? >_>

HolyAarom · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2006, 07:44:28 PM »

Heh, Midori Days rocked. A different take on what people would think.
