Manga
I am a big fan of Manga and Anime. One of my favourite monthly magazines is Shonen Jump. Any one else a fan of this Japanese drawing form?

I've just recently become a huge fan! I've always loved Anime but finally got curious about Manga and bought Mars & Boys Over Flowers.
Mars is a fantastic manga that TokyoPop is distributing. You should definitely check it out!

I've read less manga (since searches of manga on the internet inevitably turn up pornography) but I've watched some spectacular anime (Escaflowne comes to mind). I don't really read the magazines or anything, but I loved Ah My Goddess (don't you DARE tell anyone I know that :-P) and some manga from Chobits and Fruits Basket (yes, I'm rather feminine for a male). But they're good!

Yes, I like manga so much, I draw one^^. Although mine's not a pure manga, but eh...same difference.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to read much manga of late (no $$), but hopefully after I get a job (somewhere, somehow), I can get back into it. I have a problem where the manga that I liked a few years ago was all teen-agey sort of stuff, whereas now I'm more interested in mature titles, but I've been out of the loop for so long I don't know what's good^^.
Some titles I have read/ liked in the past include Love Hina, Rurouni Kenshin, Ah! My Goddess, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Card Captor Sakura, and Ghost in the Shell. I also liked this more adult series called "Eagle", but I kind of ran out of money after the first two volumes ^^;;.

I'm fond of anime but I've found few manga I cared to bother with. The only major exception is Battle Angel Alita...truly a masterpiece. I'd like to read Berserk, but I can't find it, and besides, I'm broke.

I am a fan of manga and anime! ^_^ But I am not very obsessive and have not read or seen many. The manga I like though are Chobits, Cardcaptor Sakura, and right now Alice 19th. (Wish I had more money T.T) But, ooh Mirei-chan, you like CLAMP?? Yay, I am a fan of CLAMP too ^^.

Hm, I haven't read many of their works. I need to be a bit more dedicated, it seems. The plot for Magic Knight Rayearth turned me off a bit, maybe I should look into it more. I love Cardcaptor Sakura though, Chobits second to that, and I have to pick up Tsubasa: Chronicles of Reservoir. Clover seems interesting, so I might pick that up soon to read. Ack, so much manga for me to buy!! And I really want to read the next volume of Alice 19th (by Yuu Watase => Fushigi Yuugi or Ayashi no Ceres)

No you're not. Believe it or not, Chobits with its ecchi comedy is actually intened towards teenage boys. Fruits Basket is also widely known and loved by boys. By Ah! My Goddess!...? You're on your own for that one.
But I also love Shonen Jump, I love Chobits, Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, Kurumi Steel Angel (this is sort of like hentai for those of you who like that stuff) and...Tsubasa, Love Hina, and Negima!

When I was in the Army, one of our favorite pastimes was getting drunk and muting anime. Why? Great question! Try it sometime. Once it is muted, make up your own dialogue. It's hilarious! You have to be drunk though...at least I think...
