Any Anime/Manga fans here?

Didn't he introduce it? Loved it when I was a nipper.

I'm not a fan but am told that it genre contains some incredible stories.

Can you recommend a good series of something for me to try out?

Attack on Titan.

So many story layers and doesn't paint anyone as holier than thou.

Anime...there are many great anime series out there.

I will always recommend "One Piece" for any one who wants to watch anime. It is my favorite anime. It started airing around 2000 (I think, based on my memory!) and is still on-going.
It is one of the best animes in handling "fillers" (i.e. story that is not in original Manga/script); unlike Naruto's fillers which are usually lame and kills the interest in the series.

Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are still recommended for watching (if you know the fillers' episodes, you can think of skipping them and to concentrate on the original story)

If you like swords/samurai anime; then I would recommend "Rurouni Kenshin" and "Samurai Shamploo".

If you are looking for sports-based anime, then: Hajime no Ippo (Boxing), One Outs (Baseball), Cross Game (Baseball), Eyeshield 21 (American Football), Slam Dunk (Basketball), Capeta (Kart racing/racing) & Prince of Tennis (Obviously Tennis!).

If you are looking for Robots/Mecha anime; then you might try watching a Gundam series. For a Super robot anime, you can try GaoGaiGar.

Other notable series that come to my mind are: Fullmetal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic, Bleach, Fairy Tail.

Hope this help; enjoy!

I started with quiet a few including naruto , but now mainly due to time & work , watch only One Piece which is by far the most consistently awesome anime / manga series.

I started watching in 2007( it started around '99) - 708 anime episodes in and the way the Oda ( the author /Genius) has scripted it looks good for another 700 more without dragging.

Definitely recommended !

Finished reading Gantz, Naruto and The Breaker, caught up with Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, Btoom and The Gamer, in process of reading Dice but have given up on that for now so going to give the reading a break for a bit and start watching Fairy Tale don't know much about it.

If anyone likes black comedy/crime then check out Baccano, the two characters Miria and Isaac are brilliant, they're a married couple who perform robberies, Isaac is incredibly dumb and Miria just believes everything he says so it's a great comedy duo!

Can anything ever top Death Note!?

I used to love Pokémon as a kid, that's as far as it goes for me. Not even sure that counts. Fuck it, it's oriental.

Death note is great one of my favorites but felt it should have ended

Spoiler: Death Note ending

after L died but maybe it was because I felt ripped off when Light was easily caught and killed

Pokemon is classed as anime so I'd say it counts.

Yugioh is where it is at.
