Nana. i was looking at the anime sets for that i think unless im mixing the name up. Something about some girl or something?

Alot of people i know draw manga style but don't watch or read it

It's a romance drama about about the chance meeting of two girls with the same name (Nana) who end up moving in with each other in Tokyo. One of them is really girly, the other is in a punk band. It's a shoujo, maybe not your thing, but personally I think it is one of the best anime series I have ever seen and definitely one that is going to stick with me the longest. The manga is also superb, in my top five without a doubt.

Also, a lot of them draw actual anime characters from actual series. I think they're just unaware of this section.

Also #2, considering watching Beck.

And im considering getting beck. Like how Beez has the Anime Legends. Funimation have S.A.V.E sets that are under $30 quite a few decent series aswel. has that one you go on about unwatcahcee how ever its spelt, Big wind up, NHK, Beck, Ghost hunt, speed grapher, So might be tempted to buy a few.

I had no idea Beck was available over here. They only have single sets on Amazon though. I would buy it if they had a boxset.

And yeah, that's Nana.

The best place is online. so thats where i get mine. Forbidden planet is 3 for £15 depending on what im buying i could mayb get. 4-5 for that. WH Smith are a bit pricey aswell and they have Naruto alongside the Graphic novel part but some series where tucked away in the kids section like One Piece... And lastly Waterstones, Pricey and my waterstones as gone from a decent 4 Unit display to 1 and a half. the missing half is completly full of Naruto.

The more you buy manga online the mroe you save. u may have to pay £7 in shops but books normally fall to £3-4ish and if your lucky might spot some bargins like brand new books for 1p (+£2ish shipping) so when you buy in bulk like i normally do you save money and able to buy more.

Rough count but i has 211 volumes + Viz big 1 of Vagabond and a big + Vol 1 of big Battle Royale. + 20ish JP One Piece volumes.



Yea well its not really filler its what i call Canon-Filler. Stuff that was in manga just the expand it to fill an ep. why i prefer canon-filler to Naruto filler arc style fillers.



I'm gonna say we've seen the last of Ippo. Sad but the guy was supposedly working on a film which no information has been given and been nothing said about a new series so yea.. which is a shame.

I wouldn't rule it out. The manga is still going strong. Plus, it took 7 years for another season after the first

[Southe,]

from what ive heard the manga is just rinse and repeat read few chapters and it was like an ep of dbz nothing happens. anyway ippo is inclusded in this

films ppl dont want to be made into live action - new poll

One piece now leads, taken over slam dunk. other series include fma, ippo and gintama

[Neversoft]

Rikiya Koyama actually said there would be a third season, but I guess you can't really take the word of Takamura seriously.

Also, I struggle to understand why anyone wouldn't want a live-action film of Vagabond. Talk about potential.

[Southe,]

So. WAS going to buy some manga update few series but decided i should focus on one series and buy it like monster only have 1 + 2 and some are hard to get.

I won a bid on ebay for £8 for v 1-3. now have to v1-2. wasnt prepared to pay more than £100 for a new copy...

Ordered V7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18
V 4,5,6,8,9 are all gonna cost me over £20 each unless i spot them on ebay D: so will have to finish it by looking out for some bargins.

July - Monster.
August - Fullmetal Alchemist
September - D Grayman
October - Update One Piece/Gintama/Toriko/Bakuman/Nura/Heros Tale
might invest in a nice big plastic box

I want to start re-watching One Piece, Bleach and Naruto but I can't remember where I left off and honestly can't be bothered watching the entire series again. I just watched 5 Centimeters Per Second. It was a very good movie, the art-style is superb!
