| @avenx I'd add Saraiya Goyou. Also, watch Aria the Animation first. Natural is the second season in the franchise. Also, regarding Gundam, watch the first two seasons of UC first (the original season and Zeta.) From that point on, go nuts. |

| hello everyone, here's my list http://myanimelist.net/profile/crownbeauty thanks ^^ |
 |
| Given that my backlog in terms of manga is rather large for me, I thought about asking for help a bit. After taking a look at my manga list, what do you think would be the most interesting/worthwhile manga out of those I already have on my plan to read list? Alternatively, if there is another title you think should be there but actually isn't, such recommendations wouldn't hurt either. |

mugi said: Ryushika Ryushika (since you like Yotusbato), Berserk because always Berserk, Vagabond, Vinland Saga, Dorohedoro, Ran to Haiiro no Sekai and Shut Hell maybe. And here I thought everybody forgot about this. The thing that keeps me away from Berserk are the very irregular releases. I can endure it for HxH, but definitely not for a second manga. Vagabond and Vinland Saga are noted, Dorohedoro does look pretty interesting as well. Thanks for the recs! |
HitsuWTG said: The thing that keeps me away from Berserk are the very irregular releases. Well, you can read all up to the current arc and just drop the manga there, and then continue when the next arc is done. You'll still be able to talk with people about Berserk and possess knowledge about the manga. It's not like something groundbreaking is going on in the current arc. Transition arcs are usually like fillers in Berserk (Lost Children arc for example). |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Id not start Berserk. Ive pretty much stopped reading ongoing manga, because of the risk of either long hiatuses or even such little things as waiting 2 weeks for a chapter to have a bunch of (almost) nothing happen because, well manga chapters are short. And who knows that lazy bastard Miura might die, either by an accident/sickness/old age or because of overexcitement from the lolis in Idolm@ster (Is this actually true? Ive heard it alot but not from a trusty source). And then it will be horrible. Like really horrible. But if you dont try it it wont be horrible. They say that what you do not try you do not desire. What are 10 years to wait for it to eventually (hopefully) finish? Compared to that waiting 2 months if youre lucky for a chapter of nothing is actually worse cause youve tasted the fruit. At least thats my opinion on it and airing manga in general. |

At least thats my opinion on it and airing manga in general. And that's pretty much my line of thought. I don't really mind ongoing series as long as I can see the mangaka isn't prone to hiatuses, and if I started reading something in the past I'll keep reading it, but that's pretty much it. I realize that there are very good readings for Berserk, or else it wouldn't be rated so highly, but I really don't think I could keep up with that uncertainty once I actually get into the manga. |
Wind_Falcon said: For baki502 - http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=10065.msg165995#msg165995 There is no greater must read manga than Berserk out there. It's one of those masterpieces that if you haven't read you've not lived your life fully. The manga now is at an all time high, the most exciting twists, turns, revelations and continuation of a story that I taught was untoppable - Miura is outdoing himself at the moment. So while the releases are slow, the wait even for a single chapter is always worth it. Ah nice finally an indepth answer to that. Altough it is rather colored and obviously favoring and protecting Miura it does make sense. Im sure he isnt working ALL the time on Berserk and has a few days/weeks where he does only what he wants but in the end its understandable, its human. Everyone needs a break. I still sometimes wished mangaka where robots lol. As for Berserk, exactly because it is at a high point he shouldnt start it. Hell catch up and then be stuck at the high point waiting weeks/months for a new chapter to unveil a bit more information. Its living hell. And its not like the manga goes away if you dont read it. Berserk will be just as good in ten years as it is now. But I agree with pretty much everything you said about it. It really is a must read for manga readers. But it isnt a must read NOW. Nothing is. |

| Looking at your list it appears to be very hard task to do. All the cute girls shows that popped up in my mind were already in your list. I am not an specialist in OVA's. |
| Yeah..if you can't recommend anything you better not do it.... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
cipheron said: Cute girls ... ecchi, crazy. wacky .... not pure. Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru (try this first) Dog Days (was a very cute show, fun, but stupid and very ecchi) Astarotte no Omocha (can't get less pure than this ;D ) Sabagebu! (airing now, ultra violence, parody, cute girls) Divergence Eve (this also covers sci-fi and gore) Mouretsu Pirates (cute girls x Space pirates) Saki (exactly like girls und Panzer but with mahjong and more ecchi) Chuu-Bra! (little girls form an underpants club. yeah. ) Tantei Opera Milky Holmes (pretty crazy and "lively" characters) Haiyore Nyaruko-san Symphogear Vividred Operation Sky Girls Hope something on there interests you. I second this but forget about Vividred especially if Strike Witches is not your thing. Since you mentioned something like Girls Und Punzer, as suggested here, Saki and Sky Girls will do. |
|
| Sabagebu is a blast. IDGAF about cute girls but the comedy is gold. I dont think its got that dark humor but then again my standards for what i consider black humor are pretty high (or should I say low?). |
| So, I asked this in the comment section and only got one reply from Nid to check out Taniguchi, Asano, and Tezuka's work. But, I've got enough money right now to get some manga and, to be honest, I'm not sure what to go for as, despite reading 170+ I still consider myself to be rather new to the format as most of what I've read is one-shots/short series. As for preferences, I'm not one to really pigeon hole myself so I'll say: psychological, drama, romance, slice of life, action, and mystery. I guess good characterization is big thing for me, I like to feel as though I really have gotten to know he/she/them or, at least, I like them to be pretty fun to follow if it's like a pure slice of life series. Generally speaking, though, I like characters that have their emotional scars that they don't necessarily have to overcome. Some anime/manga that have these features that I feel do this well are: Evangelion, Beserk, Hunter X Hunter, Monster, Utena, Ruroini Kenshin Trust and Betrayal, and Perfect Blue. Or just characters growing throughout the story like Akage no Anne, Aria, Solanin, Honey and Clover, etc. Of course, a good plot is nice as well. It just isn't always absolutely essential for me. Also, I'm extremely interested in Vagabond, Vinland Saga, Gundam The Origin, Lone Wolf and Cub, and Akira (manga). I don't necessarily care if any of these have the elements I specified above, I just want to hear thoughts on them. |

| I can't speak for Gundam, LWaC and Vinland Saga, but I can say that Vagabond in print would be a really good idea. Not only is Inoue's art in itself worth the investment, but the story as well is great. The methodical character development mediated through amazing fight scenes, fantastic emotional events all done in meticulously detailed artwork. There isn't a dull moment in Vagabond, the Farm Arc isn't bad like some fans like to say, in fact it's one of the better arcs in the whole manga. I would also recommend Dorohedoro. It fits under the psychological and mystery genres. The art itself is pretty messy, however the story--confusing at first-- shapes up to be extremely in depth and there are subtle details that you wouldn't notice without a second read around. It starts out as a combination between a black S-o-L and comedy, which later turns it takes a darker/serious turn and the mystery element is really emphasized. Something that might not fit your needs exactly might be Hoshi no Samidare/Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. It has one of the best cast of characters that I have read in a manga. And does well both parodying the tropes of shonen manga, while also at the same time presenting an interesting plot. The plot is zany, fun and intriguing; characters are more than they seem and characterization is the strongest trait of the manga. Some of the pages would look wonderful in print. Or if you want something relaxing and fun, I would recommend Yotsubato. It's pure fun and Yotsuba is super cute. It's not your next Aria in terms of character development, but it is relaxing and entertaining. Hope I helped. |
 |
| Yeah, thanks for the suggestions. Dorohedoro is actually something that kind of caught my eye after looking at the enlightenment list, I'd heard it had an influence or at least was similar to Tokyo Ghoul which is a manga I'm currently enjoying. Looks interesting. Wait, Vagabond has a farm arc? I thought that was Vinland Saga? I'll certainly look into your suggestions, though I don't know if I'll buy them just yet. I am trying to get something I am fairly confident I'll like for right now and those ones I specified all kind of gave me that feeling. Well, Gundam because I've seen the anime and I hear that this is a more in depth version of a series I already liked pretty well. |

insan3soldiern said: Wait, Vagabond has a farm arc? I thought that was Vinland Saga? Both of them do. And I'd vote for you going for Vinland Saga as well. The action is dynamic and intense, and the characters are interesting and worth getting invested in. I had the chance to buy the first three volumes, but I was broke at the time, so I couldn't. ;_; |
| Yeah, I"m about even on which one to get between Vinland Saga and Vagabond. But that Vagabond Viz Big edition looks mighty tasty.... |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Guys, I would like to get some recommendation for anime. I want some good comeback after months of anime fasting. TTGL is already one nice feast, and I plan to watch 2-3 more. As for suggestion, I was planning on Kill la Kill and katanagatari, although I would love to get other rec as well. |
 |
| I'm currently looking for a few mangas or animes to pass the time with until the Fall season, and thought about getting some recommendations here. I'm pretty much fine with any genre except Hentai and Yaoi. While a part of my Anime list and most of my Manga list hasn't been rated yet, I think the scores I already filled in should give some pretty good pointers towards what I enjoy and what I don't enjoy, so can anybody think of something that I'd possibly like? Thanks for any recommendations in advance~ |
| Well, in case anyone was curious, I ended up buying Gunslinger Girl vol 1-10 and a personal favorite, Solanin. |

insan3soldiern said: Yeah, I"m about even on which one to get between Vinland Saga and Vagabond. But that Vagabond Viz Big edition looks mighty tasty.... I like how the spines of them form one big picture when you put them together. The only downside is waiting for the next Vizbig volume to come out when you catch up to it. Then again, that's pretty much the downside of getting omnibus/compendium for on-going series, especially for some that go on hiatus.  As for Vinland Saga, I own the first 3 books (6 volumes). The hardcover for them looks nice. I still haven't read them yet, though. |

| Yo guys, im currently looking for some good animes to help me pass the 100 completed entries mark and just for my sheer enjoyment ofcourse. any genre is fine with me really as long as it is not your run of the mill naruto like shonen. i dont mind shonen but then at least something FMA brotherhood or hunter x hunter in terms of story and atmosphere. I hope anyone wouldl ike to take the time to recommend me some awesome gems. |
