British Comedy Guide

Anime and Manga Fans

I was just wondering if anyone else on the BCG forums who was a fan of either anime or manga - not just comedy, but of any kind.

*hand up*

Ah, nice to know I'm not the only one here. Do you haver any particular favourites?

Cowboy Bebop.
All the Ghibli's even the Go Panda Go!
Hellsing is alreet, Ultimate is better though.

I've recently started Bleach, it's interesting.

Yes Cowboy Bebop is good. I've been meaning to watch Hellsing as well. I've get around to it one day.

Go for the Utilmate Helsing. It's alot better. Same story just more true to Manga and better animated.

Thanks, I'll remember that.

The latest anime that I watched was volume one of Aria: The Natural (sadly only available in region 1). I like the upbeat attitude toward just about everything in it.

Here is the Wikipedia article on it. It's a utopian sci-fi story.

I LOVE Cowboy BeBop!

And all Ghibli (excluding the Cagliostro ones and Porco Rosso) are just amazing.

Caglisotro doesn't really count does it? I thought that was before they became Ghibli? I may be wrong. The first one was atleast.

Nice embedded Link Mr. Wolf! Will look

Some to avoid:

Devil May Cry. It is just tripe!
All Ghost in the Shells other then number 1

The main manga I've been reading recently is actually a comedy, and a rather surprising one considering recent news about the Japanese. While QI might have annoyed the Japanese making jokes about the nuclear bombs, it turns out that the Japanese are willing to make jokes about the war - well, in Hetalia: Axis Powers anyway.

Well yes maybe, but it's still Miyazake and I'm ignorant and tend to lump them all together.

I have seen all of the Ghost in the Shell series. While they were alright I suppose that they the original will always come out on top.

Can someone elxplain to me how to do embeddedlinks? Cook Mikado always does them, and I'm bemused. What's the code?

Oooh I own GitS 1 and 2 but am yet to watch.
