manga:

Ah/Oh My Goddess! - I love this series, I only have about three issues but so far it may be my all time favorite manga publication. Summary - Boy accidentally dials wrong number and summons a goddess. rank ***** Oh My Goddess is extreemly well drawn and has good, extreemly funny storylines, well worth five bucks for a Dark Horse issue.

Mermaids Scar - This is a great collection of manga from the creator of Ranma1/2. Eat the Mermaids flesh and you become immortal as the two main characters Yuta and Mana affirm. rank ****

anime:

Devil Hunter / Mamo Hunter Yohko - Devil HUnter Yohko is the story of the 118 generation teenage devil hunter (the title character). Its got fairly good storylines and its very funny, especially the grandmothers character rank ****

Battle Angel - Although the ending is somewhat less than satisfactory the animation and story are supurb. The story centers aroung Gally, an abandoned cybornetic girl with unknown origins and her life as a hunter warrior (read bounty hunter). This is definately one of my favorite anime titles rank *****

Macross Plus - The story line admittibly sucks (less so when subtitled) but the animation alone makes it worth watching. rank **
