Akira? EPIC.

I'm actually kinda curious about Death Note and Dragon Ball.

Dragon Ball as a manga is much better then the anime series since the fights don't seem to drag for so long and the story seems to be told much better. Part 1 of the series with Goku as a kid where great and has some nice action mixed with comdey throw into it. DBZ with Goku as a adult where great until around Cell saga where I feel like things where about to go down hill. I personaly enjoy the Buu saga since I started to watch the series when the Buu saga started.

Death Note was good until the second half of the manga. Devilman is a great manga and would check that out.

Sadly, I quit all manga. Though I constantly wonder if I should restart and complete the Ranma 1/2 series..

Really I've dropped To-Love-Ru, it's waaaay to much fanservice. Hell I'd greatly like it if Negima would curb the fanservice as well ('specially since Negi is only 10, however boss he may be). To-Love-Ru could improve itself by shifting away from fanservice to more shenanigans and adventures in my honest opinion. Especially considering how weak both To-Love-Ru series are in comparison to Black Cat

I used to read Dragon Ball Z and Death Note before seeing the anime. Nowadays, I read Dr. Slump which is a series created by Akira Toriyama before Dragon Ball.

If you can locate it (only 6 novels of 25 have been translated), look for the Korean Manwa "NOW". You might enjoy it. It's a sequel to Chun Rhang Yhur Jhun (Legend of the Sirius) which Ive not been able to locate translated.

So....here's an interesting manga Mein Kampf

It's about Hitler, written around him as the protagonist.
So far it's chronicling his rise. He just became leader of the Nazi Party in chapter 4.

It's actually an intriguing read

Just got finished watching all 26 episodes of Umineko no Naku Koro ni , the 3rd series in the When They Cry Franchise. This is a very good anime. Great action, not too much fanservice, witches, the 7 stakes of Purgatory, murder mysteries, and more... plus an AWSOME opening song, makes it one of my new favorites...I highly recommend you all watch it... or reaad the original Light Novel.

Watched through Claymore for the first time this weekend. Really solid show, besides the little kid. He was probably the single most annoying character I have ever seen in a show. Also re-watched Trigun as well as the new movie. Forgot how good of a series it is.

I just finished the first disc of Blue Gender, and I have to say I like it so far. It is strang, and dark, but Im not turned off by it.

Is anyone reading Rin-ne? I saw it today at Books A Million as I was looking for a novel and saw it's a Rumiko Takahashi work. I LOVE Takahashi. She's my favorite artist and story writer (for Ranma 1/2.)

So I picked up the 2nd half of Soul Eater on Wednesday (Best Buy didn't have it when it first came out a couple weeks ago). Finished watching it last night. It was indeed as awesome as the first half, and it's now solidly in my top 10 favorite anime.

I've been watching the new anime that have been coming out this season.
Guilty Crown...Yes. Most definitely yes. This anime may be the best thing I've seen since TTGL.

I've been watching Sgt. Frog. It's so weird, but it's funny. I'm addicted to it.

Kerero Gunso is indeed addicting, and downright hilarious... I LOVe that anime, but it just lasts way too long...

Stuckey without the Nia avatar = END OF HUMANITY!

Back on track, just finished watching Soul Eater anime and I read the manga. Both are amazing, but I perfer the manga for more Blair fanservice... and the awsomness that is Mosquito.

Watched Demon King Daimao last night. Awesome series is awesome, but too short.

Also, Peter Hausen. Coolest dragon ever in the history of anime.

Okay seriously, the writers for Iron Man and Wolverine must really hate women. Between the two shows, the only main female character to survive was the reporter in Iron Man. What the hell.
