[AlternateLives]

If I may, add Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Steamboy to your list!

[elektra89]

:O you has some pretty gewd tastes in anime : )

[Octobeam]

What about Ouran High School Host Club and Bleach?

[Neovenetar]

what about Onegai twins, Onegai teacher and Inuyasha? (not to mention Love Hina)

[REA]

heres more anime that ive seen and personally like: -Azumanga Daioh -Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun -Hakushaku To Yousei -Hidamari Sketch -Hidamari Sketch x365 -Hyakko -Ichigo 100% -K-ON! -Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (season 2 comming October '09) -REC -Spice & Wolf (season 2 is currently running) and, of course, the priceless gem of my collection, -Toradora!

[zafiros]

Sadly, I haven't seen most of those, although I absolutely LOVED Azumanga Daioh. TOO FUNNY!

[REA]

i have more in my collection but i cant list all of them (so ill post a screencap).

[Diclonius]

Tora dora is friggin awsome! Its halarious i still havent seen ichigo 100% though :(

[REA]

i dont really suggest Ichigo 100%. it kindof made me rage a little but not as much as True Tears (i almost drilled my comp mouse through my screen because of it). i really recommend Spice & Wolf. although its like an Economics class and a romance novel togather its very good!

[zafiros]

Add "Listen to J-pop"! I can't imagine an otaku not listening to it! (not to be mean or anything) By The way, if you need a list of good bands, I can get one to you.

[special_friend]

wut anime is the picture from? i saw it and it looks cool. i might watch it.... i is already otaku! u should add some shonen mangas to the list, like naruto, bleach, one piece, fairy tale, inuyasha ( below ) .... etc...

[REA]

that would be Konata from Lucky Star. its really good but random! all the Shonen Jump manga and anime arent there because Shonen Jump is to much of a mainstream company for people who dont watch to much anime.

[special_friend]

i see.... i read manga more than watch anime cause sumtimes i cant find good subs for it ( i don't like dubs ) I might read it now... i think i saw it on onemanga.... thnx!

[REA]

im sorry, i thought you ment the pic on the intro page. this one is from the melancholy of haruhi suzumya. its labeled under the category supernatural (theres an episode with a seamingly infinite loop).

[special_friend]

yep i started reading it ( haruhi suzumya ) its sorta random and weird... but really good! its like the end of the world for every little thing.

[solarpolar32]

add inuyasha to dah list

[lollero]

Bokusatsu tenshi dokuro-chan*

and why would some one want to become otaku? If someone likes all that stuff, he becomes an otaku automatically

But still, very good list of anime and manga! (tough not too complete, not any old school stuff)

[LostAeon]

Ok my Japanese isn't that good I got as far as "I note angel ", the translation for dokuro eludes me a bit. When someone defines someone or themselves as Otaku, they are proberly referring to a certain level of addiction. I agree with you, though its a little unfair to say they automatically become an otaku just by liking manga and anime. Besides some of the old school stuff are still good, but would be even better if revamped at some point. :) Don't you think Lollero-Kun.
