[Grubbz]

What do you guys think the best anime and manga are?

My favorite manga of all time is Tower of God (which i believe everyone should read).

Cowboy Bebop is a rare example of excellent dub in addition to sub.

ONE PIECE.

[Vorkon]

I may be a tad bit older then some of you guys, most of the anime genre I can't follow/doesn't appeal to me. Though growing up I was a huge fan of the Patlabor and Evangelion series, Macross/robotech and Gundam. Just about anything involving big robots fighting.

The pokemon/dragonballz stuff I don't like.

Recently was prodded into watching the Beserk series with tortured protagonist Guts. Thought it was okay, though I hear the manga is better.

Appleseed was still one of the best I've seen.

I hated the NGE ending but i did enjoy some of the older gundam series, especially Zeta and the 08th ms team.

[lecompte]

NGE had a crap ending; they made two movies trying to explain away that shit.

Great Animes: Claymore, Hellsing, Witch Hunter Robin, Monster, FMA Brotherhood, Hikaru no Go

[Vorkon]

I think what sold me on the NGE series was 3 or 4 episodes into it, Shinji had one of his blackout moments, and his robot became self aware and absolutely went nutso on one of the bad guys (I think they were called angels). The end scene before the credits was blood and guts absolutely raining off of traffic lights and buildings in one of those 'Shit just got real' moments. The fight scenes were legit.

Gundam was legit, I don't remember the actual name or series that got me into it but I think it was a mid 80's one called Mobile Gundam Suit or something like that? I loved the big battles between hundreds of'em.

[zajurai]

Space Dandy and Kill la Kill.
I'm sorry.

[dafier]

Curse of the Undead Yoma

or

Ninja Scroll

Akira is always a favorite as well.

EDIT: I am old school....

[dafier]

Sorry but for a long time, nothing beat the original Robotech. Not even Gundam when it was first released. Guyver was freakin' crazy awesome too.

[Kope]

Usagi Drop
Ghost in the shell (SAC)
Cowboy Bebop
Serial Experiments Lain
Mushi-Shi
Kuroko' Basketball (I have no idea why...I just really got into this one)
Fate/Zero
Kara no Kyoukai
Vandread (Guilty Pleasure)
Steins;Gate
Spice and Wolf

Watched GitS (SAC) and it was interesting, but the movie (first movie) was the best.

I actually haven't watched the original robotech, i really should get around to watching it. you guys should check out Tower of God (manwha), its pretty fucking amazing.

[dafier]

I'll check out Tower of God. There are a lot of Anime movies back in the day that I encourage most young (younger than I) people to check out.

The ones I mentioned in my other posts are Ninja movies. Not Akira of course....but that speaks for itself. Any new person to Anime has to watch Akira 1988, at some point of time.

[Estolcles]

Basically, all the works of Masamune Shirow up until after the first GitS movie. (Appleseed, Dominion Tank Police, New Dominion Tank Police, the original Ghost in the Shell.) Always loved all the "Tenchi Muyo" stuff too.

Also, "Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai!", because pop divas turned wrestlers.

[Sorn]

Mushishi (anime and manga)
FMA Brotherhood (anime)
Yakitate!Japan (anime)
Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)
From Eroica With Love (Eroica Yori Ai wo Komete - manga)
Breaker (Manhwa)
Nougami Neuro (manga)
Ouran High School Host Club (anime)
Princess Tutu (anime)

Anything by Miyazaki!

I used to watch Speed Racer, Robotech, Gundam, and all that good stuff when I was younger. Also watched Scooby Doo and ReBoot. I saw the first episode of ReBoot a while ago and wanted to gouge out my eyes, though. Times have really changed.

edit: And Thundercats!

[Kope]

I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but:

Mamoru Hosoda > Hayao Miyazaki

[Breeziyo]

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. Had some PLOT and some fanservice (I think. I don't really know what constitutes fanservice tbh) but even if the main chick wasn't a tittymonster I would still love this anime.

A review of it I read said that it was reminiscent of Spice and Wolf. Still haven't gotten around to watching that series, but if it's anything like this one I'll love it as well.

Thundercats and Reboot were great lol.

I can't believe only one person has mentioned Ninja Scroll so far.

No love for Vampire Hunter D?

If you liked Maoyuu Maou Yuusha you're going to LOVE spice and wolf. You can view it on Funimation's website if you want.

IMO Spice and wolf is just better all around.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first but Bloodlust was amazing.

ONE PIECE.

shit sux, wouldn't watch dubbed or subbed

Baccano was the first anime I watched that I preferred dubbed. I would never have even tried to watch a dub where sub was available, but I was watching it with someone else who claimed they couldnt keep up with subtitles on this much drugs and realized later I preferred the show that way anyway.

[Big_Japan]

speaking of which, if you havent seen baccano watch it. dank stuff

[LostCause]

not one mention of berserk patheic.

[Grubbz]

not one mention of berserk patheic.

Berserk anime is garbage, the manga is solid tho. ToG still has a much better betrayal.

Shit's great and you know it. Sry if it's not Jap enough for you.

Anime is literally just animation. Mickey Mouse is Anime. So says the country that invented the modern usage of the word.

Subs and Dubs are both Equal, sometimes subs are better, sometimes dubs are better :).

Watched this first 8 episodes and I'm loving it so far.

[Brocode]

Japanese put in emotion in their dub and love it.
Spanish arent bad but for animes sorry no.
Brazilians can go fuck themselfs as they suck on dub even tho my childhood with dragonball was with dub portuguese.
English ones i cant really compare barely saw any dubbed, anime i mean.


Some Mangas beat the anime, and some have to be censored, and oh boy if you tell me you watched it in USA television censored and liked, we have a problem.

[Big_Japan]

saw this film Patema Inverted today, very much enjoyed. Physics experiment gone wrong inverts gravity for a big chunk of the earth and population. Some apocalyptic Akira style imagery to tickle the goosebump bone but it's overall pretty lighthearted a la Miyazaki. Normal people live on the surface in authoritarian communist shithole. The "inverts" live underground and when they venture forth it leads to vertigo inducing scenes like this:

Waifu is pretty good, but #1 complaint is there is only 1 waifu in entire movie. otherwise good movie would recommend

Deadman Wonderland

that one was pretty brutal. saw it recently when it was on netflix

[FoxxHound]

That's why I liked it a lot. Favorite part is when they were trying to escape, and the robot shot that kid with acid, and then ran over him.
http://antiotaku.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/deadman0806.png

My favorites are Deadman Wonderland, Attack on Titan, Psychopass, Cowboy Bepbop, Jormungand (Because I find Valmet sexy as fuck), Deathnote, Full Metal Alchemist, and Hellsing. Though I did watch a little bit of Elfen Lied; simply because it had some decent violence.

sounds like we have similar tastes. never seen jormungand though. where can i find it?

[jarshale]

Acchi Kocchi is the best. Prove me wrong. Protip: You can't.

Jormungand was solid. Black Bullet was also a good watch.

[Madbad]

Ghost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex

[Grubbz]

FMA:B is alright but i feel like its so overhyped and don't even get me started on NGE, The ending to that was garbage.

[Kope]

Jormungand and Black Lagoon are both on Funimation's website for streaming. Not sure if they're available without a sub or not though.

[Big_Japan]

FMA:B is alright but i feel like its so overhyped and don't even get me started on NGE, The ending to that was garbage.

NGE is guilty of some of the worst sins in anime (reusing footage to a disgusting degree, filler) but it's still gr8. Especially if you consider the movies the real ending to the series.

Pretty much falls into the Akira trap of being the greatest shit ever, but losing steam 2/3 of the way through. Except worse

[FoxxHound]

Jormungand was solid. Black Bullet was also a good watch.

Does it have hot, buff, women in it? Instead of the 5-10 year old loli shit. I kinda hated gunslinger girl because of that.

[AceTravis]

Steins Gate is probably my all time favorite. Humor that had me literally laughing out loud, great character development, and a fantastic story that was actually very emotional at times. Most animes have their flaws but this one was basically perfect to me.
