A-n-i-m-e
 
The thread to be in for Anime and Manga fans. Anything from childhood shows like the Dragon Ball series, Pokémon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-OH! to others that are less heard of like Sailor Moon, Bleach, and Naruto to those that not really heard of in the everyday world of media like Soul Eater, Bleach, and Cardcaptor Sakura. You don't need to be a fan in here, just don't be a jerk. And please, no hentai and such.

To start this thread off, I'd like to present a few upcoming releases of Anime titles in the next few weeks or so. These 3 are by FUNimation, an anime distributor.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Part 3 on Blu-ray and DVD
It's a great show. At first I didn't think I'd like until I actually saw. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Anime shows are awesome.

Dragon Ball Z Kai Season 1 Part 3 on Blu-ray and DVD
The epic Legend Reborn, Dragon Ball Kai is the same DBZ. The differences.... It's a redubbing of the awesome Z, with most of the voice actors reprising their roles. With this, the actors are a lot better and it's been completely remastered for HD. There's also no filler (useless story not part of the actual story line).

Tsubasa: The OVA Collection on Blu-ray and DVD
One of my top favorite anime shows and manga from Tsubasa. If you're a Chris Sabat fan, the guy known for voicing half the characters in Dragon Ball Z including Vegeta and Piccolo, then this is an epic anime OVA to watch. However if you haven't seen the anime show, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, yet then ur gonna have to wait to see this. The anime gets a lil complicated after somewhere around mid 2nd season and then it goes off into filler. This OVA follows the manga more closely and goes into a teen audiences.

Sorry if some of these gave off some spoilers.
And remember, there's no such thing as coincidence, only inevitability.

I was made to watch Spirited Away against my will, if that counts for anything

My favorite anime ever is Cowboy Bebop, hands down. I love everything, from the plot to the characters to the animation and especially the music.

I have also seen & enjoyed Samurai Champloo, Ghost in the Shell, Outlaw Star, Escaflowne, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Akira. I think I may be missing a couple, but those are the ones that are among my favorites

As far as manga goes, I did read Naruto at one point, but began to dislike it after the timeskip. I read Bleach, however. It is enjoyable & Kubo is a crazy author & I enjoy his art. ^^

I have also read Slam Dunk, which is a really good manga for anybody who is a basketball fan. Very enjoyable. Haven't really read more manga cuz it's hard to get into when they have been in print for a long time and a lot of the series are very similar in a lot of ways.

That's all I have for now! ^_^

Alright Uni! You made the thread! <div class="background" style="position: relative; right: 26px; top: -4400px;"><img src="http://i805.photobucket.com/albums/yy338/DanielBroManGuy/dragonball.png" /></div>

My favorite anime? Dragon Ball Z!!! I love the whole Dragon Ball series/franchise. It's the first anime (or anything really) that I really got into as a kid (with the exception of barney and power rangers as a small child lol). It was what I really looked forward to most of the day at school to go home and watch. I had an hour long bus ride home which allowed me to get home as soon as it was starting. Get off the bus, run as fast as I could down the long, gravel driveway, then tune into Tsunami on Cartoon Network :D. It was what really jump started my passion to draw too. Whether it was simply drawing the characters or making up my own, just about everything I drew before middle school was related to DBZ in some way. I really got into that show and it will always have a place with me. I still plan on buying all the episodes and movies on dvd one of these days so I'll always have them to watch.

I really think DBZ helped shape me in some ways as well. Not just with it jump starting my passion for drawing and art, but the stories and their messages that I got from them. Just a great series with all of it's epicness, tragedy, comedy, and more.

As for other anime, I never much got into anything else quite like I did DBZ. Nothing else was really capable of sticking with me for as long I suppose. That and I suppose the timing for DBZ being introduced to me was just about perfect as well. I watched some Digimon some but not enough to get into it I guess. I did get into Pokémon for a while when it first started but then they just took it too far with all of the different types of Pokémon coming in all the time. I did play one of the gameboy games a lot though, Crystal version. Good time waster, lol. Similar to Pokémon, I ended up getting out of Yu-gi-oh when they started coming out with too many new characters, monsters, and cards. I was really into that around 5th and 6th grade though. Really enjoyed the dueling. And then there was Naruto. I did watch that for a while and liked that but eventually it stopped showing and like DJ, I just wasn't much into it after the time skip. Oh, crap, I almost forgot about the Gundam series. I did get into that for a bit around the time I was into DBZ. I just never could watch the episodes as much so I couldn't keep up but that was a pretty cool show too.

Ok, enough out of me for now. I could go on and on about DBZ though :D

Ummm....All I have ever watched was Pokemon....cause I thought all other Anime is just not interesting since I like more real things. And yes, pokemon are real. I have the whole first edition of pokemon cards in my basement. But I stopped being a fan of the show once they stopped including Ash, Misty, Brock, and whoever else. RIP Pokemon :)

And just making sure, I wasn't be a jerk with this right?

No... I thought you were just trying to be funny since you said Pokémon are real, lol. DBZ is the real, real stuff! I should know, I'm a saiyan.

:p
