I'm a huge anime and manga fan, so I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who shared a love for it. I always love dicussing different series with others. I've seen a ton of different anime, and have even more on my list of stuff to watch.

So what about you? Have a favorite series or one that you're currently watching or a great manga that you're reading? Feel free to discuss it here!

I have heard of it, though I don't know too much about the series itself. What's it about?

Yep! I need to re-watch it because sadly, I've forgotten a lot of what happens. It was one of the first anime I saw about five years ago I think. ^^ Once I re-watch that I need to see the other season of it.

You're watching Fairy Tail!!!!

I'm about to around ep 40 I think....
So how are you liking it?
I think it's a little cliche in the themes, a lot like Naruto which just kept repeating the same storyline throughout season 1, just with different characters involved. I would finish Naruto Shippuden but I can't be bothered.

By the way, have you watched Wolf's Rain? It's fairly popular I would think. Though the ending was sad and a little too on the dramatic side I still really loved it. They should make a season 2 of it, in my opinion because they ended it in a cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers :lol: especially when the guys who created the story in the first place don't tell you what happens next. But I won't give too much away to those who haven't seen it yet...

You haven't seen Ginga? O:
Why has no one seen Ginga...
/goes off to cry internally

Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (series #1) & Ginga Densetsu Weed (series #2) are great animes. I'd give them a look at if I were you. (;

Here's an example of what they're about.

Also yay for Blue Exorcist & Kekkaishi!

I like Fairy Tail a lot, but I need to catch up to it really bad. I've had it on hold there for a while because originally when I was watching it, that was all of the dubbed episodes.
I've watched some of Wolf's Rain until I realized how it ended. I mostly try to avoid sad things.

I've heard of Ginga before and I think I've even seen a few clips but never really looked much into it. Just from watching the video it seems like it's a rather tragic anime. Also Ao no Exorcist and Kekkaishi are awesome. I haven't come across anyone else talking about Kekkaishi. I watched it mainly for Vic Mignogna's voice acting, but it was a pretty good series.
I know this is off topic, but I love the opening on the video you posted. XD

Skip Beat!! Yes! I love it so much. It's one of the few manga that I actually follow. Kyoko as Setsu has turned out to be very interesting indeed and this latest chapter was so emotional. It's weird to see the president serious. He's always the craziest one. :P
Have you seen the live drama of Skip Beat? It was made in Taiwan, but they did a reallyawesome job with it.
