  1. Baccano! is my favorite. It's unfortunate that the series bombed in Japan, because it strayed too far from the source material. It'd be nice to see all the novels animated or simply all of the books translated to English.

  2. 2011 Hunter x Hunter Anime to Retell Story From Start

    The upcoming television anime adaptation of the Hunter X Hunter manga will have a new staff and cast compared to the 1999-2001 television anime, and it will retell the story from the manga from the beginning. The “definitive” new anime will premiere on NTV on October 2 and run every Sunday at 10:55 a.m. NTV opened a web page for the new anime.

    Hiroshi Koujina (Rainbow – Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin, Neuro – Supernatural Detective) will direct the anime at MADHOUSE (Death Note, NANA), and Jun Maekawa (Dragon Ball Z, Fresh Precure!) is in charge of the scripts. Takahiro Yoshimatsu (“Something Yoshimatsu” of Future GPX Cyber Formula, Slayers) is designing the characters, while Toshio Nakatani is producing. The cast is slated to be announced later.

    The manga has sold 52 million copies, and Yoshihiro Togashi will resume the manga in the combined 35/36th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine next Monday. The 29th compiled book volume (pictured right) of the manga is shipping on Thursday.

    Dude, this is pretty awesome news! Hopefully it gets a nice budget, and little to no filler episodes unless they can pull them off.

  3. Either can be better than the other. It really depends on how the story is executed. There is a larger variety of manga and the censorship is pretty lax comparatively, but being animated is a huge bonus, too.

  4. Leon: The Professional

    Fuck yeah! Definitely one of my favorites.

    Id have to say personally my favorite movie of all time is TheCrow.

    It doesn't make my top, but it is a great movie.

    My favorites movies are The Silence of the Lambs, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, The Professional, and A Clockwork Orange.

  5. My favorites would have to be Ghost Hound, Serial Experiments Lain, and Ghost Hunt. Although, they're not scary or anything. I've never watched a single horror anime series that could qualify as unnerving much less eerie.

    When it comes to horror manga Uzumaki by Junji Ito is great.

    Junji Ito is good at what he does, and I highly recommend checking out his work.

  6. I really don't believe there's an age limit for enjoying anime. It's no worse or better than watching any other type of fictional series/movie.

    On a slightly different note, I've noticed that with age it's become increasingly difficult to find anime that can really catch my attention.
