Bah, poor fools, watching craptastic anime. Manga is where the good stuff is. If it isn't on a page, it isnt worth looking at. I cant tell you how many times an anime has taken a great manga and made it into 
. Only rarely does it ever get better in the transition. On that note, Im off to reread my complete set of BOTI (Blade of the Immortal is awesome beyond belief.)

Psh, you're just jealous. 
Anyway, argh, I'm screwed, they're putting a limit on my downloading, something pathetic like half a gig a week :/ Nooo. ...that's like....2 episodes. *mutter* But at least my bandwidth's doubling. Or quadrupling. Or something. I might be able to STOP LAGGING OUT from the wireless network! :/

The first ones are pretty cool, they're just very episodic...
Naruto's licensed now, so it's harder to get hold of it
. I'm annoyed because I was downloading 75-100 and the torrent had taken about a month to get to 83%, and now it's down and all that time was wasted 
.
I read quite a bit of manga (although most of it tends to be of the yaoi doujinshi variety, seeing as that's easy to get hold of on the net
). Have read about half of Akira, spread out enough that I had even less idea of what was going on than normal 
, some Ranma 1/2 and I own 1-6 of Gravitation 
. Yeah, I'm a yaoi-fangirl, so sue me . Oh! And I read the FMA manga as well, that was kinda strange. Good, but still felt like an alternate universe (although really I guess the anime is technically the alternate universe).

. And even with my very limited knowledge of the workings of computers I can tell that the technobabble in GitS is mostly complete . But it certainly has style 
*looks down the long list of manga* Aha! I've got Boys Next Door in amongst all the yaoi doujinshi somewhere, if I remember correctly... Any chance of being able to get some of that stuff on your hard drive off you? I'll trade you... umm... well... I have a lot of very pretty boys doing interesting things to each other, and random (most of it very good) anime. And a whole lot of wallpapers and other random pictures to do with almost every anime/manga I've ever seen/read.

Heh, most of the guys look like girls anyway 
Hey, what is yaoi? 
AND ANIME ROCKS! BLARGHARGHBLARGH!@#!@$!!!
Gotta love those emoticons.
It does. And don't ask what yaoi is. And nobody tell him if he doesn't know.
Gasp, Shiri, SKIPPING OUT ON LOVE HINA?!
Love Hina is so great. I own the box set and plan on rewatching it someday. My friends have associated me with Mutsumi. I'm not a huge fan of watermelons, but you know, the narcolepsy (kidding.) But you need to watch it in Japanese also, because it's ten times as funny and not as edited (like the part where all the girls are holding up dishes, and one of them, who I can't remember, goes "Or perhaps you'd like to eat me! *giggle*")
And I've only seen one or two people mention Record of Lodoss War. Seriously, go watch it. It's so good.
I feel like I need to see Akira, for I never have.

*goes into lecture mode* Yaoi is a shortening of YAma nashi, Ochi-nashi, Imi-nashi, which translates into "No climax, no point, no meaning", which basically is the Japanese equivalent of PWP (Plot, What Plot?). It's sometimes said to be an acronym of "Yamete! Oshiri ga itai!" which means "Stop! My arse hurts!". You get the idea. If it's not explicit, it's usually called shounen-ai or BL, which is short for Boy Love. It's mostly drawn/read by women, but there are plenty of exceptions *grin Akraasiel*.
You've read FAKE, right? The guys in that aren't very bishounen-ish... I have the first part of it in Spanish, but not English (I can't even read Spanish, it's a long story why I have it...). Don't think I have anything else though, I like my boys pretty.
There, that wasn't so bad, was it, Shiri?

Anything from from Studio Ghibli. (I have the box set of his collected works up to Monoke on DVD with English Subs)
Songs of the Heart and My Neighbor Totoro are both exceptional.
Kiki is also very good.
Graveyard of the Fireflies is one of the best films made period(animated or otherwise).
Perfect Blue was nice.
Cowboy Bebop = great.
I liked S.E. Lain.
I loved Boogiepop Phantom, even though I found it hard to follow.
For music, I like anything done by Yoko Kanno.
I had been enjoying a Japanese Dorama until the 2nd disc had the same audio as the 1st disc.
Not that it mattered, the subtitles were terrible. I could have a done a better job, and I don't speak Japanese!
I still have a soft spot for the older anime. Cheers for Lupin and Macross!
