Recommend an interesting anime/manga?
I’m not looking for mainstream stuff at the moment….or anything too fanservice based like Chobits, Love Hina, etc.
As for genres, not really looking for well-known shonen or girly shojo but more of josei, seinen, or something with an interesting art style. I like comedy though.
Shounen ai is ok. Yaoi or yuri’s not really my thing.
Some titles I’ve seen/currently watching, in no order:
Anime – Ghost Hound, Jigoku Shoujo, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt (it’s um…unique), Loveless, Kuroshitsuji I/II, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rozen Maiden, Moon Phase, and others….
Manga – C.A.T., works of Asumiko Nakamura (Dokyuusei, I am a Piano), Kaori Yuki (Godchild, Ludwig Revolution, Boys Next Door), and Mitsukazu Mihara (DOLL, The Embalmer, Beautiful People), Kuroshitsuji, Paradise Kiss…..Death Note, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho. And many more.
Any ideas?
Some suggestions: (* means you should watch)
-Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden (I really like this one, one of the first anime shows I watched. The manga is better though in my opinion. Has action, humor, good plot, etc. One of my faves)
-Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (At first it was slow, but when it got serious, it got pretty good. One of my faves now.)
-Vampire Knight (I recently watched it and finished it. I ended up liking it very much. It’s one of my faves now. Has action, humor, romance, etc.)
