I would rather read manga than watch anime, to tell you the truth. Most of the times anime comes from manga, and as they say, the book is always better than the movie!!!
My fave manga of all time is Vampire Knight.Here are five reasons why you should read it:
1.) The guys are hot.
2.) The storyline is fast paced and it keeps you going. I was sucked in after the first page!!!
3.) The drawings/illustrations are beautiful!!!
4.) The characters seem so real... it's like they are a real person!!!
5.) There are tons and tons of volumes, so after you finish one, you have 40 something to go. I don't like it when mangas have only 6 volumes and there is so much more that could happen!!!

shambam

torn between monster and death note.

And the mangas are not better than the anime, there is no such rule, and besides its irrelevent; the anime is merely a film-makers interpretation of the look, feel and plot of a manga but since it is a film its has about 2 hours to get it done in, so it can't match the original manga for scope, only for essence.

And the idea of shunning an animated version of a comic in favour of the comic itself seems really alien to me (enjoy both! one doesnt cancel out the other)

I don't watch too many mystery shows. Not a genre I'm that into. Of the ones I've seen though, I'll recommend those that stood out to me.

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
SUMMARY
The always-hungry Yako Katsuragi is a super famous high school-aged detective who cracks the hardest of cases with ease – at least, that’s what the general populace thinks! Behind the scenes, Yako is helped by Neuro – a maniacal being from the demon world who is looking for new mysteries to devour. Alongside local detectives and a helpful sidekick, Yako and Neuro will solve the unique and the bizarre cases that plague the city; but will Yako ever discover the truth behind her father’s supposed "suicide"?
I LIKED the intelligent heroine. She was a little more substantial than a lot of female leads.
I DISLIKED how the intelligent heroine is basically the demon's tool. I haven't finished watching, but so far, she hasn't really done anything that smart on her own.

Box of Goblins (Mouryou no Hako)
The story follows a series of bizzare murders of schoolgirls who have been dismembered and stuffed into boxes. The private investigator hired by a missing daughters mother joins forces with an antique book seller and others to unravel the murder spree.
I LIKED how unbelievably creepy some of images/scenes were.
I DISLIKED how there were so many characters and how there doesn't seem to be a clearly designated main character.

Numina

This is the weirdest spam ever.

Totoro_

Death note xD excellent!!!!

shambam

i have literally just finished watching a grerat anime movie rom madhouse 'Summer Wars', best film ive seen this year.

And it aint spam if theres real weirdos behind the words

gearoidof

I have that in my to watch queue, what's it ilke, shambam?

shambam

gearoid, i can only say you will be impressed. Great blending of vividly colourful fantasy interspliced with romance and family bits that would make hayao miyazaki proud (goro miyazaki would probably go punch a wall!)

Watch it, don't read up on it, you want to be surprised

gearoidof

Sounds like fun! Thanks
Is actually going to watch Spice and wolf 2 1st[/b]

Ha! Devilman is an absolute classic. It sure takes me back. Recently I watched the Anime series Claymore. I love everything about it, from the characters to the mood to the music. Bloody and violent, highly recommended. I'm also halfway through the series Death Note. It's very smart and quick paced. You'll have watched 4 or 5 eps back to back before you know what's going on

One Piece, gotta be

I really like Devilman too. I remember watching the three movies on the Sci-Fi Channel back when I was 17. I only found out recently that it was a TV series in the 70s and 80s then the movies came later. I would like to check out Claymore as I read alot of good things on it.

cocoshovel

In no particular order

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
Ghost in the shell
Great Teacher Onizuka
Outlaw Star

Lantus

gurren lagann. 27 episodes of pure genius.

Black Lagoon is by far my top favourite, but far too many others to list here.

3 movies,I thought there was only two episodes no ?

anyway the slayers is up there too with my favourite

Elmidena

Stein's;Gate =D

Suil Eile

Clannad was excellent and I have to admit that I cried at the last few episodes. It would be my favourite if not for the very ending. So close to perfection that I can't understand why they did that

Monster is another great anime but ill dock it the final place because it was a little longer than it needed to be, there were a few episodes in the middle where there wasn't much happening. Apart from that, it was a pretty epic story with a satisfying ending.

So I have to say my favourite is Death Note. Great psychological twists and nearly always captivated.

Sephiroth_dude

baccano as well

Rendeva

In no order,

Baccano!
Serial Experiments Lain
Cowboy Bebop
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Shinato

Favorite of all time = FMA Brotherhood. It actually left me numb for two days afterwards

Favorite at the moment = Fairy Tail. Despite the filler at the moment, it's still pretty good So is Sword Art Online.

jeanadamz

Samurai X and Naturo... Also Vampire Knight...

syapa

You know it's Haibane Renmei, right? I mean, it's your favourite but you don't know the name of it?

Lance-kun

Mine would probably be Outlaw Star. One of the first I watched all the way through.

Mal-Adjusted

It's gotta be Dragon Ball, at least up to the end of Z. i gave up on GT.

Gundam Wing comes a close second, just seemed more serious than the other Gundam series iv'e seen (admittedly only a handful).

Blue Submarine no. six gets an honorable mention.

oh yes!!! two thumbs up for that.

carter2

It has to be Mobile Suit Gundam:D
Scrambling everything they can, the White Base sets out with newly formed crew of civilian recruits and refugees in journey to survive, and unknowingly, change the course of the war.
RX-78 Gundam everything looks so interesting:D

I suppose I meant there were three OVA's quote from wikipedia;

Devilman: The birth (デビルマン 誕生編 debiruman tanjō hen?) was released in November 1, 1987 by King Records.[7] It was followed by Devilman: The Demon Bird (デビルマン 妖鳥シレーヌ編 debiruman yōchō shirēnu hen?), released in February 25, 1990 by Bandai Visual.[8] .
In 2000, Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman was released as a pay-per-view event in Japan and was later released on video and DVD. It covers the period between the humans becoming aware of demons and the final battle between Devilman and Satan.

Well I've only recently got into anime seriously even though I've watched things like Dragonball and Pokemon when I was growing up so I haven't seen a lot.

That being said, over the past week I've watched the entire 2 seasons of Clannad due to a recommendation. Being honest I've never felt so emotional about anything I've ever watched before. The first season just takes you through these scenarios that are so touching and really makes you feel close to the characters, and then in the second season it's as if your there beside them going through the same stuff they are. It actually got to a point where I couldn't stop crying at some of the scenes and nothing I've seen has ever come close to doing that...

Not only is it touching, but it's pretty funny at parts and the animation is good I guess but I again I haven't seen a lot of anime so there is probably better out there. For anybody looking for recommendations I give it 10/10 it's the best thing I've ever watched, not just the best anime and I don't even like dramas generally

Also the music is fantastic:

AzN

Has to be Death Note for me, it's one of the few animes that has an evil protagonist.

Rendeva

Baccano! Just so much win in so many ways, can't recommend it enough!

Eli Nich

Death note without any doubt

Recca Kusanagi

Fav anime? Dunno. I've been disappointed with a lot of animes. Always been a tough question. Manga however, it's a hard choice between Berserk & One Piece (The only Shounen worth reading imo -_-). I could list of a bunch of other great mangas I've read but i don't like to rant.

Last week I watched (and loved) Death Note right up to the point

where L dies. I adored him!!

I got rightly pissed off and I stopped watching. Will I warm to the rest of it if I go back?

Kaiji for me also.
