Favourite Anime\ Manga Series
Ranma 1/2: Well This is what got me into this insane interest. It's an unique series and one of the more entertaining series for most people. I have course gone on to a lot more than a normal Ranma fan would like. From this series I know that Love Triangles aren't always a three-way relation, and the best way to resolve these triangles is through VIOLENCE. Well if the world was like that, it would be perfect, after all you've got your cast of an Aqua Transexual, a Directionally Impaired Boy who turns into a Black Pig, a Cute Tomboy who is absolutely pathetic at almost everything, a Psychotic Girl who trains in Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics, and many other characters.
Dragon Ball (Z/GT): Dragon Ball is definately one of the coolest series, the destructive almost sensless fighting and the ATTITUDE is what got me into this series. This is the series where you need BIG HAIR to support a BIG EGO, this series kicks ass. When fights go on in this series not only do the combatants get thrashed but so does the entire area around them. Face it Gokuu is the greatest fighter of all, if you think your guys from Street Fighter and the like are even a match for him, you are seriously wrong. Gokuu is like the God of Martial Artists. And the other characters like Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan, Piccolo, Goten and Pan can also kick some Street Fighter's ass. Dragon Ball Kick Ass, you hear that, KAAA-MEEEE HAAAA-MEEEE HAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Gundam: The best out all the various mecha series. Gundam completely set out a standard, for all the mecha anime that followed it. Rather than being something silly to sell toys like many series in the 70's Gundam was more serious story. In it the was the first idea that Giant Robots should be controlled by actual human pilots, and are used like fighter planes, something used for militiary hardware. Over the years there has many great series (and a few bad ones though), well out of the most of the good ones are war dramas, as Gundam has developed a trademark for killing a lot of its main characters. The Jions are always one of the coolest of all dukedoms to appear in anime. And Gundam Wing is one of the coolest, as you got your group of five psychos armed with some of the most impressive mecha ever.
Yuu Yuu Hakusho: This is one of the best series to come to come out of Shounen Jump, its about a boy who finds him involved in a strange destiny after getting hit by a car and killed. Then he he finds himself involved after returning from the dead, with Kurama and Hiei, and his formal rival Kuwabara, as they investigate and fight various threats from the demon world, by using various martial arts skills, and various unique powers. The series contains a lot of characterization, along with all the fighting,. The guys are cool and the girls are cute! that's which makes this series so great.
Rurouni Kenshin: Though this series is new to me it has quickly developed into one of my favourite series. It is about a former assassin, who has gave up his years of killing, and has become a Ronin during the Meiji Era. But giving up killing is very hard for Kenshin, when there happens to be a corrupt goverment, and various terrorists and assassins around. This series kind of does have the feel of some fighting games like Samurai Spirits (Showdown) which is part of the appeal of this series.
Sailor Moon: The infamous Sailor Moon, the queen of a magical girls. About the chronicals of the Sailor Senshi the defenders and warriors of the ancient Silver Millenium. Most attempts to copy this series has ended up miserably pathetic. This is humourous series, with a little dramatic and emotional parts in this series, but one main thing with this series is the CUTE GIRLS. Well actually Usagi my least favourite character, Rei-chan is my favourite, Haruka-chan is really kakkoii, and Hotaru-chan is kawaii but has dark dual-nature.
X: A series by CLAMP about a boy named Kamui who is involved in the fate of the world. When the 7 Seals and the 7 Minions fight each other to decide whether the world stands or not, Kamui must pick sides. The ones behind the two groups, Kanoe and Hinoto who are both interested in Kamui. Entropic, with beautiful art along with some graphic scenes, this is a great series with many different characers, each entertaining in a certain way. My faourite characters are Kamui, Subaru, Yuuto, Kanoe, Arashi and Satsuki so far.
Tenchi Muyou: Well this is a twisted and insane series, with cute girls in it. When Tenchi unleashes a demon out of curiosity, his life suddenly turns upside down as he gets involved with affairs with various aliens. Now Tenchi is something fought over between a bunch of girls, mainly Ryouko and Aeka. Various interesting characters out of the series, my favourite out of the whole gang is Ryouko and Kiyone.
Rayearth: Another series from CLAMP about three girls who have never met before suddenly find themselves thrust into the world of Cephiro, where they must become the Magic Knights to save it. But all is not what it really seems to be actually. With great story and art, this series is like a combination of magical girls combined with some RPG stuff. In my opinion Rayearth is the best "magical girls" story so far.
Evangelion: Gainax's most successful TV series, which concentrates mainly on the characters. When mysterious invaders known as angels attack humankind, almost being indestructable. But a project from NERV a branch of the UN has a way to stop all the angels, using giant mecha known as Evangelions. The young pilots for these mecha though have to face problems with life and their commitent to the project. An excellent series which is one of the best recent TV series.
Slayers: Another RPG type series, about spontaneous uncontrollably destructive but cute socerress by the name of Lina Inverse. Accompanied by her friends, the bunch goes around causing general havoc, and usually creating more harm than good, as they go across the countryside robbing people and nuking entire cities, and only doing good deeds for a price.
