Anime/Manga

[SilverWind]

What is your favorite anime/manga?If the anime has amanga counterpart and you've read it, which is better?

[TurkSlayer]

I don't have one favorite anime, but I have a list.

Inuyasha
FLCL
Parinoia Agent
Full Metal Alchemist
Cowboy Bebop
I watched Outlaw Star when it was on.
... I'll remember more stuff later.

[Mo-Nercy]

Azumanga Daioh is my favourite.

True, it's not the funniest anime out there. But there's so much more to it that just comedy. I like to think of it as:

ONE THIRD hilarity ("If you get lost, gather round Sakaki-chan!")
ONE THIRD weirdness (most of it in the New Year's Dreams episode)
ONE THIRD cuteness (Sakaki playing with Mayaa. "Meow." "Haaah!")

I've read the manga and, yes I've compared it with the anime. The manga has a few more dirty jokes (directed mostly at Sakaki's breasts)but the anime has some golden moments (Osaka feeding Penguin Chiyo)so I guess it evens itself out pretty well. But I still mourn over certain parts that the anime left out that were just so funny in the manga, like Tomo and Osaka's practice for the 'univeristy interview'. "I pounded in a wedge once!" "Good you pass!"

But the Mayaa + Sakaki <3....Couldn't imagine it being done any better.

Good ones, I guess i should put a list down as well, shouldn't I?

Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
FLCL
One Piece
InuYasha
Paranoia Agent
Full Metal Alchemist
...
...
...Ummm...I thought I had more, but I'll think of more, maybe.

Edit: Oh right, I can't belive I forgot about this. Excel Saga. Many dirty jokes, no sense whatsoever, very hilarious, and a very catchy title theme song. I love this one!

My favorite manga is Mars. I don't particularly have a favorite anime, but for now I'll say Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon. The manga is awesome, and the anime is pretty good though has a slightly different plot (more to the fact not as indepth plot as the manga). yeah, but this could be bias considering my obsession since I firt watched it in the 90's...Codename: Sailor V is a good manga too, well I say this for it the prequel to BSSM.

[SilverWind]

What's with the Bishojo Senshi in front of the Sailor Moon, though? I understand it's a title, but any idea what it means?

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

It means Pretty Soldier. In the dub they dropped the "Pretty Soldier" part.

[Faris]

Mangas: W Juliet, Kare Kano, Love Hina, Full Moon, MARS and Hands off.

[Terran]

Im really not that Anime heavy but I like shows like Zatch Bell and One Piece, Full Metal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, and Ruroni Kenshin...I'm weird like that. Haven't read the manga thou..*shrugs*

[xtreme112]

Ok, just a few:
Manga: Rurouni Kenshin, Full metal panic, .Hack//legend of the twilight bracelet
Anime: AKIRA!!! Cowboy bebop, Orphen, Neon genesis evangelion (yeah, love the classics)Peacemaker and the opening song from gundam seed!!!! ^_^

[Madonna]

Favorite anime(s), currently: Bleach and Beck.

Manga counterparts: Bleach rocks, Beck sucks.

Favorite manga(s): Bleach and Tramps Like Us.

The live-action of Kimi wa Petto (In Japan, Tramps Like Us is "You Are My Pet") is love.

[rubah]

Well, my anime exposure in entire series is limited to Trigun. I would say it was better than the manga, because the entire mood is different, and the manga is so confusing to read that I don't get much out of it xD

[Reles]

My favorite manga is Mars. I don't particularly have a favorite anime, but for now I'll say Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

I've read Mars, well most of it. I liked it.

My favorite anime is probably Fushigi Yuugi, the manga is good too. My favorite manga would have to be Imadoki, which is made by the same author as Fushigi Yuugi (Yuu Watase) and she is the best, no doubt! But all her stuff is fairly girly...

[Shlup]

Imadoki was cute. I like shoujo way too much.
