That's at the top of my list for next school year after i'm back from Japan.

While in Japan, i'll watch... whatever's on ;)

I really should get into this manga thing...

You probably should. I fell out of it for a while, but as Western media hit a stagnation point and all the good authors and musicians of the world have started to die off or retire, manga was still around and it's better than ever. People look over it because (like games) they seem to only concentrate on the strong negative stereotypes like moe, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, spiky haired kids and ridiculous dialogue. You'll find plenty of great reads and the variety and quality that is on offer can be overwhelming, you just have to rely on Doobie Wops all purpose manga reviews to pick out the diamonds from the bags of coal.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've just watched the first two episodes and so far I'm really liking it. It also helps that it's a short series, I find that series that are over 25 episodes tend to lose their pace and just start to fall off really quickly.

Read the manga Gantz. IT'S AWESOME!!

The anime is very good until after the 3rd mission(when it separetes from manga and have just a last mission, while the manga is still being released).

well now Im interested, thanks

There are a lot of good mangas, the list is so overwhlemly huge that a serious thread with a listing of all the good ones would scare people away.

We can make this thread serious, just post as many mini reviews as you want and keep the thread alive. I'm very interested in seeing what people recommend and I'm sure that over time others will join in as well. In about a week I'm going to bump the thread to add a few more reviews and I'm going to continue adding reviews for a while.

the rebuild of evangelion tightens up the story and refines things quite a bit. You should consider checking out v1.11.

Quick manga recommendation

King of Hell

Its an amazing blend of action and humor that will make you want more, sadly TokyoPop put the rest of the manga on the back burner due to budget cuts that should never have happened (stupid TokyoPop). If it was made into an anime, it would easily be one of the greatest animes ever made, period.
