Anime is commonly defined as animation originating in Japan (アニメ?, an abbreviated pronunciation in Japanese of animation, pronounced [anime] in Japanese, but typically /ˈænɨmeɪ/ ( listen) or /ˈɑnimeɪ/ in English). The definition sometimes changes depending on the context. In English-speaking countries, anime is also referred to as Japanese animation

Manga (kanji: 漫画; hiragana: まんが; katakana: マンガ; English /ˈmɑːŋɡə/ or /ˈmæŋɡə/) is the Japanese word for comics and consists of comics and print cartoons (sometimes also called komikku コミック). In the west, the term Manga has been appropriated to refer specifically to comics created in Japan, or by Japanese auteurs, in the Japanese language and conforming to the style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. In their modern form, manga date from shortly after World War II, but they have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art.

Oh, the inspiration here is that Hellsing OVA 8 is released in Japan today.

InuYasha is the only one that I ever pursued in-depth, and I've very much enjoyed it. Actually, if you consider Pokemon as an anime which it technically is than that will serve as m.... Yu-Gi-Oh! Yu-Gi-Oh is my favorite.

It's difficult picking a real favourite... atm it's probably Fairy Tail, it's funny, has great fights and the right amount of drama. D. Gray-man is also high on my list, but they cancelling the show was a real downer. I don't like unfinished stories...



But yeah, I've seen quite a bit of anime. It's probably easier to just post my MAL link: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Cranos
 
For Anime, Dragon Ball and most of Dragon Ball Z, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Gundam Wing, FLCL, Big O, Naruto, and some others. Haven't really read much Manga.
 
Yu-Gi-Oh! (Zero & Dm), Yu-Gi-Oh! Gx, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, and Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal, including the manga.

No pattern at all.

Winning.
 
I liked the first few seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh, but after a bit. It started to get more and more ridiculous.

I know, but Fairy Tale comes first, and I don't really have time for any other right now. Will get around to it eventually though.

I only watched the first two seasons, I thought that the first season was the best because I liked the whole Pegasus storyline, I wonder if I'm the only one that couldn't careless about the story and just wanted people to duel, even though, Kaiba was a bad-ass.
 
I don't watch much anime. The only two that I like is Inuyasha and Deathnote, which Deathnote is amazing.

I didn't get to see the final episode yet, I right in the middle of it all. I have about ten episodes left.

Death Note's awesome.

Brings up a bunch of moral questions as well

Death note was awesome until right in the middle. Near really sucks imo.

Hmm, it was a bit sad to see Light succumb to Near after defeating L...



And it lacked the bondage between L and Light (In the literal and figurative sense.

I read Naruto, Bleach and Fairy Tail every week when it's out. I've also watched a few anime series and the ones I like the most are: Black Cat, Special A and It Started With A Kiss.
