of course, as soon as I can get my hands on a kenshin manga that list will change..

Favourite Manga film?

I'm definitely not an expert, I've seen only a handfull, but mine is and will always remain to be 'Akira'.

The Wachowski brothers were inspired to write 'The Matrix' after seeing this Manga film. No 'Akira', no 'The Matrix', it's that important.

Cheers, Martin

[Ashlea]

never got into manga, not much availability without really searching and very expensive. But for anime films, I love Kenshin, Trigun, Ranma, and there's a great series I saw, can't remember the name, but features a female samurai who drinks a lot and her very talkative sidekick.

 

[Ruzi]

perfect blue

I loved watching that, but I had to rewatch it a few times to really let it sink in.
And, I finally got the first two kenshin manga, it's now at the top of my favorite list followed by Planet Ladder, Wish etc., but Kenshin is first.

Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran -- that was brilliant! Did Todd loan it to you too?

 

[Ashlea]

Technically, I think he loaned it to Mike.

I've just read volume 6 of Lone Wolf and Cub. I love this series, it's a great read.

 

[bobbyburns]

I just started video girl ai: preproduction today at work. it's a great read and it's hot as hell.

I'm tumbling head over heels for ai ...

There's not a doubt as to what my favourite manga is; Hayao Miyazaki's Kaze no Tane no Nausicaa. He is an artist par excellence and his stories are always, without fail excellent, but Nausicaa takes it just that bit further. A science-fiction epic, ecological poetry, a pacifist magnum opus, a philosophical study of human mentality and the will to survive, take it as you wish, it's simply sublime.

Films and series-wise, there would obviously be all the Miyazaki greats-Nausicaa, Mononoke and Castle of Cagliostro are, for my part, the best, and Macross Plus, Vision of Escaflowne, Trigun and Tenchi Muyo are also excellent. I've just 'acquired' Haibane Renmei and have heard nothing but good reports about it, so I'll have to see how it goes.
