i've only read really two mangas in my quest for closer, mahoromatic and berserk.
it's kinda hard to get into bleach with cartoon network showing the same 5 episodes every week, so i went and downloaded the whole freaking series from japan and have to say i love it.
berserk was and is still my favorite anime ever, it rocked hardcore on a level i didn't know was possible until i watched it.
naruto can go fuck himself for all the people telling me to try it, it sucks.
i just finished watching an anime i picked up kinda on a whim, samurai 7. so very very cool and funny too.
the mahoromatic anime is a great watch even if the ending is a little hard to get. once i read the manga however i understood it pretty well. but i'd recomend mahoromatic to anyone who thinks battle androids don't make good house maids.
Big O- i was surprised by how much i enjoyed this series, once they finished it, kinda fun, kinda weird, and overall not good enough to screw anything up royally.
evangelion i watched mostly because people treated it like the holy grail of anime when in fact it is a steaming pile of horse crap, no cool characters, maybe a couple good fight scenes and abcolutley no story cohesion.
FLCL-great 6 episodes of random craziness.
Ninja scroll-yep they made a tv show outa one of the best anime movies i've ever seen how could i not like it. there are plenty of things toned down for the sake of putting it on tv, no giant rock man rape in this one, but it pushes the line enough to make up for it. good story, good characters, great music, overall kick ass series.
that death note cartoon network picked up is actually kinda interesting, i don't really care about it but it's amusing overall.
yu-yu hakusho-great series i really enjoyed it and i'm mad they took it off thew air before getting to some of the really great fights.
dbz is still ok to me, sure there's alotta bad things about it but it's hard to dis the show that got me into anime to begin with.
tenchi- just about anything with tenchi in the title was really good, i ahvn't seen this tnechi gpx yet but other than that i liked all the other ones they made.
golden boy- quite possibly one of the funniest things i have ever seen, ever. it's such a great 6 episode series that not only did i buy it, all my friends bought it too so they could have a copy to watch when they wanted to instead of borrowing mine.
baki the grappler- surprising once i got fios i found the funimation channel where they play only the oldest anime they have to make you buy the new stuff, baki, blue gender, case closed, stuff like that, but baki is a great series thats all about ultimate fighting and really has some kick ass fights and good humor thanks to a color commentator.
i'm kinda an anime nerd though i don't say otaku or nothing like that so i know there's more i just can't think of any right now
