Official Manga/Anime Recomendation Thread

Ah, I see I guess it's a simple way to make people interested in the story. Like you'll have a WTF is going on type of moment and want to see more. Or at least that's what they're going for.

Yeah, but most of the time, it fails pretty badly. I can't think of a single "in media res" that worked except for Shin Mazinger, and it was needed for Shin Mazinger because:

1. The first 8 episodes are slow, and are foundation for the rest of the series.
2. It's basically a retelling of the Mazinger manga events everyone is familiar with.

Ah, yeah sometimes it's fail however it does work. Like FMA prob the best anime I've seen in a while. Broterhood not the original. Oh thanks for the anime reccomedations LotLH isn't bad and I'm enjoy natsu also. Got anymore ?

I haven't watched an anime for a long time. A long time ago, I watched FLCL and TTGL and I LOVED THEM. I also watched Hellsing and it was good.

I'm looking for animes that are over-the-top, like FLCL and TTGL, so any suggestions, anyone?

Go watch Panty and stocking... it's by the same director of TTGL and it's way over the top.

[Sick_Fool]

Anyone here watched Guin Saga? I'm planning to download the series, would like to know if it's good enough to be worth watching.

Dead Leaves. It's a 50 minute movie that's more over the top than anything I seen. Same director too.

Mixed:

20th/21st Century Boys (didn't read yet)
Homunculus (gets sickening)
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi (read few chapters bad)

Nice fighting art but only fair plot:

Jackals (good art fair plot)
The Breaker (good art fair plot)
Hajime No Ippo (start good, insightful for boxing, later line art bad)
Fairy Tail (nice art fair/copied plot)
Gantz (nice art fair plot)
Naruto (good but not even close to one piece anyway)
Claymore (good art fair plot)

Masters category:

Vinland Saga (great-excellent)
Vagabond (great-excellent)
Full Metal Alchemist (great-excellent)
One Piece (great-excellent)

Angel Densetsu (fun-great)
Kyou Kara Ore Wa (fun-great)

Art, story/plot and what it covers are all important, I like war/peace but I prefer mangas that have a good plot/philosophy behind like One Piece, Vagabond, Full Metal Alchemist, any recommendations

[Megadoomer]

Just wondering: which would I read first, Toriko or Beelzebub? I'm looking for an ongoing Shonen Jump manga to read, and I've heard good things about both, but I can't decide which one to read through first.

[Zik]

Beelzebub. Hilarious and interesting series.

I stopped reading Toriko very early on for some reason.

[Thousand Lion-chan]

Beelzebub for hilarious high-school delinquint comedy.

Toriko for hard-core shonen fantasy action.

Whichever suits your taste best.

[IceBorg]

Beelzebub has The General.

[Malintex_Terek]

It's good. A bit like Legend of the Legendary Heroes but not as polished or developed, I felt. It's an old series, but it didn't feel horribly antiquated like Golgo13.

[Sick_Fool]

^Thanks. I'll give it a shot then.

[IrishLuigi]

Dead Leaves. It's a 50 minute movie that's more over the top than anything I seen. Same director too.

Thank you very much good sirs

EDIT: I've seen Dead leaves and sampled P&S (and subsequently downloaded the whole series)

One thing to say:

[Jacko]

I think everyone should watch and read Gintama, its an awesome Manga/Anime.

[city_lights31]

+1 - absolute hilarity! If you are a fan of Christopher Moore's novels than you will love GinTama.

Does anybody know how an avid One Piece fan like myself would feel about Negima?

[MDL]

i'm an avid one piece fan and i like negima. it does what it does and as long as you don't take it too seriously, it's kinda fun.

[Hiroy]

The Lucifer and the Buscuit Hammer. Recommend it. Great manga.
