What anime do you love to watch?
bleach, ghost in the shell, fullmetal alchemist, yu yu hakusho (cartoon network used to show this one.), paranoia agent. all of which are aired on the late night/early morning program [adult swim] which i watch religiously...
spirited away, castle in the sky, dragonball ( ) are others i love.

What manga do you love to read?
never really got into those. probably due to availability here and cost (!). i just watch the animated series and movies.

What do you recommend?
of course, spirited away... , and for that matter, any of hayao miyazaki's films...
also paranoia agent, it'll trip you out.

What's the first one you saw/read?
sailor moon. i was a fanatic back in the 90s. got all the merchandise of that cartoon imaginable. i'm still a huge fan of naoko takeuchi's artwork though, it's quite beautiful.

*Bump*
I can't believe I didn't find this thread sooner!

I was crazy (still am actually) over manga/anime when I was in college and I enjoy shonen anime just as much as shojo anime, which in my opinion can be a bit too "mushy" at times

My current favourite anime right now has got to be Bleach!
Zippy storyline, a general high standard of artwork, great soundtrack, interesting characters..highly recommended for those who haven't started on this anime.
Adult Swim is currently showing the series, but waiting every week for a new episode to roll around is sheer torture, but thank goodness youtube and other websites gives me my Bleach fix!

I am also partial to anything by Hayao Miyazaki, his movies are great and never disappoint.

I used to really be into anime and manga until a little over a year ago. It was my hobby, but now fashion has replaced it. My favorite titles were Fruits Basket, X-Day, Negima, Chobits, and a few others. I feel really bad because I had thousands of dollars worth of it and now I'm planning to sell it all on eBay for next to nothing. Years of saving up down the drain!

[Juliet]

Right now I haven't got as much time as I wish for anime.. so I have been watching School rumble most of all! Because it's episodes don't make you HAVE to watch the next one right away, so you can just watch every once in a while and have huge laughs!! That anime's become a really soft spot with me I really recommend it for anyone who is looking for something lighter and not so difficult to comprehend.

^Yep it's a huge torture waiting for new episodes to roll along especially when the anime is still ongoing!

I know what you mean ilaughead, I used to be crazy over comics, be it Japanese or American titles. It's a really expensive habit which I had to give up once I discovered fashion!
Though fashion in anime almost stays the same...girls are always decked out in short skirts and/or knee high socks if it's a comptemporary title.

Sometimes I miss anime, but then I always am scared that I'm going to lose interest in fashion just like I did in anime!

Like many of you, my first love was Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon My animanga love has diminished since my jr. high school years, but recently I've fallen in love with Ai Yazawa's art -- check out Paradise Kiss or Nana!

^ If you don't know 'em already, maybe give a try to Hinako Ashihara's "Sunadokei" & Yayoi Ogawa's "Kimi Wa Pet"...they're both brilliant!
