The one thing that I don't get about this genre is all of the hate that it gets and the accusations that they are "ruining" anime. Granted not a lot of them are special or anything like that, but there is no harm in watching buxom/lolicon/crossdressing girls showing skin now and again. Not to mention that they're more or less following Go Nagai's footsteps anyway, and he's a legend for extreme content {and Mazinger Z}

High School DxD easily is my favorite of the bunch, as it actually has a MC who enjoys being in a harem with women {and Kiba} that don't view him as a piece of meat, mostly at least, and it's actually refreshing to see everyone in the story approve of Issei's perverted behavior.

I like it too but it gets dragged out so much. It's not until the end of Season 2 that Lucifer realizes that Issei's "power source" is his feelings for these women, which cracks me up. If only I could get strong and powerful thinking about having sex with different girls, I'd be ultra successful by now.

Just wondering, are you going to watch the new season of High School DxD that's coming out in April?

I am. I wonder where it is going to be when it first comes out.

Has anyone trolled this club because they think we are losers who watch cartoons or is that shit over now?

I pretty much already know everything that's going to happen in the new season. I've read the light novel and gone ahead, but that's still not as great as seeing it animated.

I tried reading the light novel but I don't like how there are no pictures.

Just came across "Kiss x Death" and after going deeper into the first chapter, the whole thing is getting weird...now if only Migi shows up.

I am watching and I like it so far. Is anybody else?

I agree, there should be more pictures. At least we got to see what Rossweisse looks like and she looked great in the anime trailer for the third season.

Yeh I might get around reading it. Not sure.

I'm looking for a good horror series besides When They Cry, I finished Another recently, and was realllly dissapointed in it

I don't know other horror animes besides Another but I am interested to watch another horror anime. And Another was not that bad, can I ask why are you disappointed of that anime?

Just kind of seemed to drag on, and just felt too Final Destinationy, but wasn't Final Destination. Also the theme song was terrible.

Hmm,I see. I think I like the anime because I'm a scaredy cat,lol XD I like both the story and the theme song. But do let me know if you found another horror anime^^/

I'll keep you updated, but for now if you think you can handle it, When They Cry is far superior

Boogiepop Phantom

Hundred Stories A.K.A Requiem From the Darkness

Paranoia Agent

and Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma has a bit of horror mixed with action

I think those are all really good anime and aside from maybe Paranoia Agent, they're very underrated IMO. Definitely recommended to everyone.

Oh, and Vampire Hunter D could sort of be considered horror/fantasy/action. That's one of my favorite movies. I love the atmosphere of it so much. Bloodlust is good, too, but it doesn't have that.

Have you seen Corpse Party: Tortured Souls? It's an anime OVA series based on a game and it's very short with only four episodes. It's actually more disturbing than scary.

I've added it to my list recently, I love the games. someone also suggested Deadman Wonderland

I saw it, and the dub version is okay. Let us know your thoughts as you keep watching it.

Turns out the Forbidden Planet near me has a massive manga section hidden, and it's all on 3 for 2 at the minute.

Grabbed the first two books of Dragon Ball (actually the first 6 volumes, as they're big 3-in-1 collections) and volume six of Watamote yesterday, probably going to go back for more later in the week.

Dragon Ball is fun so far. Like it more than Dragon Ball Z, although I've only seen the show of that, so maybe the books are better across the board.

Dragon Ball is fantastic, I've been slowly rewatching it lately and I'm really having a lot of fun.

As for Z, the manga is a small step up from the show, but it's still far inferior to Dragon Ball. I've always been disappointed that DBZ gets all the attention when the original is so much better.

guess who is watching Zatch Bell? this guy

How is it? it's been in my plan to watch for god knows how long.

he is tooo cute <3333

I am going to continue to take advantage of the 3 for 2 on manga at my local store and buy 6 volume ones to try out tomorrow, or 9 volume ones if I don't buy True Detective as well.

I'm thinking Berserk, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Fullmetal Alchemist and Attack on Titan.

Any suggestions to plug those last two holes? Will probably just get more Dragon Ball if not.

Berserk is the only manga I ever commited to and paid money to collect volumes of until I realized it was going for like 20 years and still had no ending in sight. If I were to get into a manga now, I'd try Gantz or Akira myself. I've wanted to, but I just never bother with comics anymore.

This forum collected the joke chapters that appeared in the manga volumes of FMA. For some reason sites like mangahere removed most of them so...

Remember the miniskirt joke from the first series? Only difference is that the final 4koma panel with that joke ended with Mustang getting KIA and it was implied he was fragged.

Some are still untranslated though, including how Basque Grand was killed.

Edit: http://fma-omakes.tumblr.com/volumes

Never mind, here's a better source.

Could be worse, I looked up on Glass Mask and found out it's still ongoing despite debuting in 1976. I looked it up because of a joke panel on the FMA manga where Roy Mustang was portrayed as a bullied shoujo character and someone on the comments section mentioned that it's a parody of Glass Mask.

Then you have Doraemon (1969) which outlived its creator.

Doraemon was an great work. I really enjoyed it.

Yes, the anime series happens to be one of the first I watched.

I have a feeling that even if the original author had lived for another hundreds of years, the series would still have been ongoing so either way, there's no end in sight.

Just found something that was somewhat famous over deviant art...what the hell did I just read?

Berserk and Jojo are good

FMA is fine but lesser than the above mentioned

AoT is pretty mediocre

I personally would pick Jojo over Berserk but I wouldn't fault either choice.

Gash Bell, filthy gaijins

Anyway Gash Bell remains probably my favorite manga of all time but not too many people have read it

The anime cuts short so if you want to continue you'll have to read it

Just got into reading Glass Mask and other than that joke page Arakawa drew along with the omake about Roy Mustang, I can see where Skip Beat! gets its inspiration from.

After finishing reading the scans of the third volume of Glass Mask, I kinda get the feeling that Maya is a kind of person who would steal a gun and shoot herself just so she can properly emulate a death scene. I mean she stood in the rain all night to get herself sick so she can get a certain scene of a play right.

Not to mention diving into the river in the middle of the winter for a ticket in the beginning chapters.

Also, I just realize the Gundam parody manga got the joke from Glass Mask when the first chapter has Tomino punching Amuro's VA, Tohru Furuya just to get him to voice the character's anger the way he wanted.

With that said, do you think Hayami is a budding pedophile for Maya?

Really? Three days of inactivity? Might as well post something I have been doing during that time aside from mental fatigue from class projects and journals.

After reading the 17th volume of Glass Mask, lets just say that Ayumi have become one of my favorite characters. Don't know how the anime series from 2005 handled that since I haven't seen it yet but what she did to that bitch Norie was epic, almost in the same level as what Mustang did to Envy.

What Norie did was sick, I hope more gets piled on her later on.

With that said, Hayami had just indirectly orphaned a girl he's starting to (If not already) fall in love with, leading to her breakdown and getting taken advantage to the point her career gets ruined.

Real smooth man, real smooth...now he's going to have to live with the fact for the rest of his life.

What happened to Maya's mom was sad, I mean while she was hard on her, even tried to dump boiling water on her for trying to become an actress, in the end she was shown to have felt bad and does indeed care for her daughter. With that said, Haru was a much better mother to Maya than Kyoko's mom was on Skip Beat!

It tells you something about Kyoko's mom considering that Haru tried to dump a freaking pot of boiling water on Maya!

In the end, she went out in a death pose made famous by Joe Yabuki and later repeated by Kamina.

For some reason, I kinda get the feeling that Ayumi and Maya may be gay for each other...

I will have to check out Glass Mask. Sounds interesting.
