DARREN SHAN SAGA WEWT AND ANYTHING MANGA!!!!!

[Neversoft]

Guyver.

[iTech]

Naruto Mangaa

[sakura]

naruto manga isnt tha gewd =w=''''' i dont really like main stream manga

[Neversoft]

Main steam manga is the best manga around. Bleach, Death Note, Claymore, Guyver... oh yes.

Reading Guyver volume 10 now, finally past the anime.

[sakura]

nope i find the aria series way more enjoyable than naruto, vampire knight is the best around you guys should really pick up a copy of la la magazine it has a bunch of shojo manga that weould get you off of main stream manga

[AndrewByrne]

Whats happening down there.
Yeh great book :rolleyes:
No, I don't read. :)

[Neversoft]

nope i find the aria series way more enjoyable than naruto, vampire knight is the best around you guys should really pick up a copy of la la magazine it has a bunch of shojo manga that weould get you off of main stream manga

Well thats because Naruto... isn't very good. I do read manga that wouldn't be classed as mainsteam (FLCL, NOiSE and Blame! to name a few) but I prefer mainstream. A bunch of people read mainstream, so you can discuss it with a lot of different people, mainstream stuff is longer and I think you just get more out of it. :P

[sakura]

shojo is longer than mainstream rozen maiden has been running nearly 10 years

[Neversoft]

I'd class Rozen Maiden as mainstream. It's only been running for 6 years though.

Guyver has been running for 23 years. :8

[sakura]

rozen maiden is not mainstream because its manga has onlnly just been issued into books for the past 6 years it has beein in Monthly Comic Birz magazine only untill Weekly Young Jump took it into their magazine it was made into a indeviduall manga book

[Neversoft]

You mean a tankobon? It's still mainstream as it has been going for a long time and is very popular.

[Harpicc]

A child called it - David Pelzer.

Sad novel based on a true story of a child brainwashed by his own parents, and his trail in life of overcoming death and destruction mind body and soul.

AMAZING.

[Plux]

rozen maiden is maintrean because its manga has onlynly ben issued for 6 years.

6 years is long enough dear.

[sakura]

ok i just wanna get one thing straight with yall

Non-Mainstream means anime/manga that aren't very popular amongst many but are still good enough that you'll love them even if there's little to no merchandise for them anywhere.
unlike naruto bleach DBZ or anything shoehn rozen maiden is not that popular although i fail to see why also shojo Beat has admited that they do not want any of their anime/manga to be mainstream ok glad we had this chat

i started reading the SGT frog series its really random but really funny somone should pick up a copy some time

[Fez]

[Neversoft]

Rozen Maiden has two manga series and two anime adaptions, one with two seasons, plus I've already said that it was ranked 9th on TV Asahi's Top 100 Anime poll. It's pretty popular, wouldn't you say? It's mainstream.

[sakura]

it could be and im getting my facts wrong again (yes this happned before somwhere elce) buuuut wouldent you admit lucky star is also ranked really high but alas it is not mainstream mainstream is like naruto where it has a english dub played on a populat T.V channel in america and england just becuase its ranked high among fans dosent mean is is mainstream see my point ^^

[Roosteria]

You've contradicted yourself there dear!

You said if it's famous among fans, it is mainstream.
Stop trying to look as if you know it all. You don't.

hmm i never said i knew it all also please dont get in somthing that dosent envolve you this is between me and shadow dear!

ok i dont remeber saying if its famous among fans its mainstream and if i did i have probally learnt scince then ok im sticking by that just becuse its famous among fans dosent make it mainstream

[Neversoft]

Lucky Star has a manga, an anime, three games, a light novel, an OVA and is currently being released on DVD. I'd say it's pretty mainstream, but not as mainstream as Naruto or Bleach. Mainstream could mean a lot of things, but it's basically something popular and known to the majority.

[Drewar]

I am currently reading "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer. It is the fourth installment of the Twilight Series, and so far I am not far enough into the book to judge if I'm going to like this one or not.

However, I will say that if you are looking for a good fictional read, that Twilight could most definitely appeal to you. I don't often read fiction, however the Twilight series has been quite enthralling.
