Re: Favorite manga
The Poll isn't really necessary, since the choices are way too small in it..but aside from that. Mine would have to be Dragonball & Dragonball Z (1984), The story is great, alot of good humour and comedy, and presents easily the best fighting scenes in any anime and manga..not to mention the entire manga stretches 9,000 pages (not including Dragonball GT). I honestly can't see myself ranking another anime or manga above Dragonball anytime soon, but there are others i could rank right underneath it...Such as the classic Gatchaman / G-Force from the 70's, Ghost In The Shell with it's unique intelligence on the future and life, not to mention some excellent artwork and characters. Gundam Wing, Samurai Champloo, and Cowboy Bebop. Azumanga Daioh and Cromartie High easily being the funniest Anime & Mangas out there. And then there's Case Closed & Lupin The 3rd, Lupin if anything is the only anime i would put right next to Dragonball (but that's just my taste).
I haven't seen enough Bleach to judge it fully yet, but it's pretty good so far, nothing epic. Gravitation is a pretty good anime, regardless of the homosexuality involved, no sense in letting a good anime go to waste due to a certain way of lifestyle, plus it's a pretty damn funny anime and all with the traditional modern anime deformity that occasionally pops-up.
As for Naruto, I see it everywhere i look on the internet, and it's often compared to DBZ. i've seen a couple of clips from the show, and it doesn't really interest me. It reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist, which doesn't interest me either..But I guess i could blame that on the dubbing results..since the dubs are just as horrible as Inuyasha's.
