Okay, for NO other reason than that I'm curious and I'm looking for one or two new shows to try out, what are your favourite anime series and/or manga?
Mine:
Ghost in the Shell (SAC - not the movies so much, haven't read the manga)
Hellsing (Manga, series, OVA's - GREAT show)
Elfin Lied (Manga is great, sadly the series had so much potential, only to die a 13-episode death...)
Witch Hunter Robin
Ghost in the shell SAC,
Noir
For Anime Series.
Love Hina, for manga
Sara
Not a big anime or manga fan. I love Air. Lucky star is pretty good, but i dont know why, nothing happens :S Spiral is an awesome manga imho.
Haibane Renmei -- have tissues handy for the last two or three episodes.
Angelic Layer -- last episode is also a tear-jerker.
Noir -- Chicks With Guns, but done well. Also, a bit 'yuri'.
Azumanga Daioh -- High School classmates (girls) just living. I shoulda' known something was up when I found myself strongly identifying with Sakaki.
Kashimashi -- Hazumu is changed from a boy to a girl by space aliens whose ship accidentally crash-lands on him...
Kiki's Delivery Service -- a 13 year old witch must travel to a town without a witch, set up a business using her magic, and live for a year in order to remain a witch. The story arc is a lot like transition...
Ranma 1/2 -- THE gender-bender grand-daddy. Ranma got dunked in a cursed pool where a beautiful princess drowned 1,500 years ago. Now when Ranma is splashed with cold water he becomes she -- the effect is reversed when she gets splashed with hot water... I always thought that if that were me I'd swear off hot water for life...
