Anime Manga Stuff

The Kenshin OAV rocks - I dunno if it's the best anime I've seen (I'd probably have to go with Gundam 0083 or 08th MS for that) but it's certainly amazing. The TV series is exceptionally good as well, much more light-hearted than the (exceptionally gory and quite disturbing) OAV, but it's huuuuuuuuge - over 100 episodes of wallet-damaging goodness

 

but its the seriousness of the anime that makes it so cool. Still the TV series from the 1/2 episode i looked at seemed ok ...

Berserk is still my favourite though
but Kenshin is a close second.

 

Patlabor I/II
Ghost in the shell
(Both already on Region 1 DVD)
Vampire Hunter D (Soon to be out on DVD)

The rest I've seen have been woeful. Either unbelievably childish, or plain porn, or worse Both.
There was an explanation of Anime styles on one I saw recently and it tried to answer the age old question of why Anime women look like overly-developed school kids.
It put nearly everything down to fashion in Japan, which obviously is to look and sound like a young schoolgirl to be atractive. No wonder they export 40% of the world's kiddy-p0rn.
Hmmm, went slightly off topic....Oh well...

www.noated.com have a manga and anime search , its pretty handy and even tho the manga search was only really started there a small while ago , hes already got alot of sites in there, was interested in downloading some , but much like anything else i don't like reading comics on a pc , its like playing console games , it just doesn't sit well with me but take a look none the less.
