Blade of the Immortal-One of my favorites. The fight scenes the main character the swastika and the art style, truly poetry in simulated motion.

I also loved the ghost in the shell manga (read it after seeing the movie way back when)

the Battle Angel Alita manga was also superb

And...well the list goes on and on, I am just intrigued by the japanese way of thinking, I mean, where do you get story ideas like that, and the visual style they use to bring these stories to life is almost too much for me...

The Tao Of Spike

I'm into both anime and manga, though not as much as I used to be. I transitioned from anime to manga because anime was too damned expensive. (Luckily my friend's dad distributes movies so he has a 200+ massive collection, all for free.)

I read the first three issues of Chobits and it seemed like an excuse to look at half-naked girls and wasn't all that funny (IMHO). But I am a big fan of Kare Kano (don't tell!), GTO and Confidential Confessions. As far as anime goes; I loved Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop and Serial Experiments Lain.

I stopped reading manga for a while but then I got drawn back in again. I love x/1999 (I've started on Tokyo Babylon), I enjoyed CLAMP's work in general. I like Oh! My Goddess too.

I've got one volume of Mars and I really liked it. I can't find volume two when I'm at book stores though.

I used to read the US 'Pulp' magazine, which got me interested in hilariously intelligent subversive pisstake comics like 'Even A Monkey Can Draw Manga' and horror stuff like 'Uzumaki' and pop culture comedies like 'Short Cuts', but my real interest lies with Katsuhiro Otomo's works like Akira, Domu, and the Memories collection.

When I'm a bit more flush with money, I might explore a bit further ('Wounded Man' looks interesting), but as money is tight, I'm content with rereading what I've already got.

I have some of the Mars manga series. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.

I used to be a big fan of anime and manga. I'm not one anymore, but I still have all my stuff.

Hath truer words been spoke? X is awsome. I hope CLAMP decideds to finish it one day though. I'd like to see an actual ending to the series depicted by the original creators.

Also, I've seen Battle Angel Alita thrown around here. It's orignally called Gunnm (meaning "Gun Dream") in Japan. James Cameron, who directed Terminator 2 and Titanic, is making a live action movie of it titled 'Battle Angel'. Currently he's going to be filming it in 3D, so I'm really not sure what it'll look like, but fair warning, don't expect this in theaters anytime soon.

I love anime. My personal favorite is Shaman King.

I'm more of a Shonen Magazine guy myself. I always find it amusing to get attached to a seemingly obscure series in Japan and years later find that it's growing popular in the States. It makes me feel special

Do they print that in english? If not, I fear I may have some trouble understanding the Japanese, seeing as I don't actually speak the language.

I haven't seen it in English... Guess I'm just a lucky illegitimate son for being able to read Japanese .

Great, now I have to learn Japanese. I've always wanted to go to Japan anyway, so I guess I'll probably need to learn at least some of the language if I'm to go there one day.

I did enjoy Lone Wolf Cub and Blade of the Immortal.

I would like Angel Sanctuary more if it weren't for the constant repetitious exposure of incest, but I guess some people like that.

I love the work of Adam Warren . . . . The Dirty Pair series and his Bubblegum Crisis prequel/mini-series are really good.
