Vampire Hunter D,,is absolutely the best,as is ghost in a shell, and Kaena,the computer generated story of the girl whose prophecy is fullfilled.....

I liked Vampire Hunter D, even if it was funnily surreal at times. ;D

Have you seen the second Vampire Hunter D (can't remember it's sub title)? It's pretty good but done in a totally different style.

Paradise Kiss
Doll
A.I. Love You
Getbackers
Princess Ai
Shutterbox
D.N.Angel

and more still

you've managed to remind me of loads i had forgotten! angel sanctuary is very pretty indeed, but they seem to be a bit difficult to get hold of at the moment ah well, if peeps are into manga, tokyopop.com and adv.com are well worth a look to see what is around. tokyopop are actually talking about bringing out manga versions of neil gaiman's mirrormask and henderson creations' darkcrystal and labrynth, i think, which will be interesting to see

Cool, thanks for the links.

...Though, I know Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean are working on Mirrormask now but I couldn't imagine a manga version of that, I like their work as it is.

But I have to say Dark Crystal (possibly Labyrinth) might be good to see as a Manga/Anime. I mean I like them as they are now, but I think it would be quite interesting to see their interpretation.

...Thing is will they be able to get the permission to do such a thing.

it's actually being openly discussed, i gather, so it must be something tehy'd consider. Gaiman has actually given permission for Jill Thompson to do ameri-manga for Death and the Dead Boy Detectives, so i get the feeling he wouldn't mind doing that. he also seems to have done work with Marvel too, as they're bringing out stuff with him, i think. could be wrong though.

My favourites are Chobits, Cowboy Bebop and Megatokyo (technically not a manga but meh...)

[Morbida]

I'm feeling a little out of place...I can't say I watch any manga/ anime at all!

[Lumineya]

Elfen Lied
Ikki Tousen/Battle Vixens (manga > anime)
Othello
Mezzo Forte/Mezzo DSA
Burst Angel/Bakuretsu Tenshi
Nurse Witch Komugi
Galerians: RION

OHSNAP, no one recognises these series lykprolly.

My only choice is to brainwash my friends into liking these series, only to find them pointing out the blatant fact that Ikki Tousen involves panties and bewbies, Elfen Lied is creepy, Othello is so teen-angsty, Mezzo Forte's uncut version is pr0n, Nurse Witch Komugi is disturbing and has bewbs, Burst Angel has bewbs, and the main character of Galerians is a clone of my ex.

OHGODPORK.
