Nimbus Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Greetings Earthlings My four month long holidays have started and I think this would be a good opportunity to catch up on some anime and manga. I didn't grow up in an otaku environment and none of my friends were really into it either, so I haven't seen much anime or read much manga. In terms of preferences I guess I like action and comedy, so stuff along the lines of Full Metal Alchemist and Dragon Ball would be cool, though I am open to other options. keep in mind I have also seen Naruto, Attack on Titan and Death Note. What anime and manga can you beautiful people recommend for me? Also, I don't care if it has subtitles or a full english dub. Edited November 7, 2014 by Alex Quote

Guest Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Action comedy huh ? So basic shonen stuff : Manga or anime : Bleach, One piece, Fairy tail, Air gear, Eyeshield21, D-gray man, Soul eater. Manga : Rave. Anime: Sword art Online, Fullmetal Alchemist (Non brotherhood), Angel beats. I've read/seen all of them and they are all good shonens. Quote

Chewy Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 I would say start off with One piece till I realise that it isn't a start. It is a finish and see you in a couple of years. Quote
