well...then... you should!!!! >.< ;_;

I should what? I swear, half the time you don't make sense and the other half I wish you hadn't.

Jeez... Muffo, I really hope that your comebacks aren't sincere... Really, just start discussing anime/manga (i.e. fulfilling the purpose of this thread), because this is getting really irritating.

Soooo~! How about that manhwa, too? I kind of like Priest, though it's a bit gory in places; it has a neat style.

I don't read a lot of manga or watch a lot of anime (in fact I plan not to watch TV for the next three months) but one manga/manwha/whatever I liked was Ragnarok. I love the art. But the series stopped at 10 awhile back, and I haven't checked to see if there's a new one out for a few months.

I liked Priest, but it just didn't have enough dialogue for me

I've heard of Sexy Voice and Robo, picked it up too.

What I really liked about those two was that they weren't in the "enormous-sparkly-eyes-and-pretty-boys" style - you know, the "classic manga" look, or the "still-frames from an anime" style. I like manga that looks different, or that, at least, doesn't overdo it on the screentones and greyscale shading.

I don't either, but that's what seems to be popular. I tend to go for older manga most of the time, One Pound Gospel, Maison Ikkoku, Galaxy Express 999, and Akira being some of my fraves.

Go, 80s manga!

I really wanted to like Maison Ikkoku, even though I sincerely disliked her other works -- I mean, it's a classic series, and one of Viz's "Editor's Choice" picks. But I read the first volume and it basically followed the "guy falls in love with girl -> opportunity for romance -> hilarious misunderstanding -> repeat as necessary" formula... Does it get better?

Anyone here reads Ragnarok? It's really good. My sister bought all the first 10 volumes. Great read.

I think it's mostly that, like all of Rumiko Takahashi's long series. I've heard her short stories are pretty good, though.

As far as things go, the last thing I read/watched was Azumanga Daioh and before that I watched Planet ES. I'm not a huge anime/manga fan and there's tons of "classics" I either haven't watched or can't stand, but there are series I like.

It gets much better and the misunderstandings are really funny. I wonder how she came up with all those situations. Sometimes I think the plot of Love Hina was taken from Maison Ikkoku with a few exceptions here and there.

I read the first 9 because they were free through the library. I would never have bought them otherwise -- it started out vaguely interesting, but it was around the time that the costumes started changing that it just got ... ugh. I will admit it had nice enough art, though the fight scenes were sometimes hard to follow.

Because I didn't read any of this, what I'm about to say has probably already been said....

Isn't this thread in the WRONG forum?

Heh, yeah, there's anime forum and then there's General Discussion that happens to be about comics. But I'll allow.
