Bleach is really revving up lately. Shame its the last arc but I guess it had to end eventually (and I'll be able to complete my Manga collection sooner rather than later Smilie).

Just read the last chapter of Bakuman. One of the best Manga ever written.

Just read the ending of Negima.

I really like Bakuman, but i'm so far behind. Currently half through volume 4 but have 1-9 on my shelve! How many volumes are there in total?

At the moment there's 17 in Japan, 10 in the UK, but the total's going to be 20. I've read them online but I'm going to collect them all.

I haven't watched any anime. The closest exposure I guess would be Avatar and a couple Miyazaki films. Could you guys suggest some series for me to watch? I really don't have any preference of genre or style or anything. I'm open to everything. I just don't want to watch a series that is too long. Just for time's sake, I'd like to maybe watch an episode or two a day for a couple weeks. I really don't want to watch something that's like 100's of episodes long. I already suffered through Lost haha.

Death Note seems perfect for you. It's not long and a lot happens in 1 episode. It's also one of the highest rated animes.

I saw Cowboy Bebop for the first time this last week when Toonami re-premiered. Fantastic! Every episode is its own self contained story and there is only one, 26 episode long season. DVD's sell for a lot, but the episodes are easy to find online. I recommend checking it out.

I got the series on DVD for £16 a few months ago from HMV online, although it seems to have gone up now.

I just completed pokemon yellow! 151 pokemon seen and caught.
Surely that's worth a star?

Cheesing it up said: I got the series on DVD for £16 a few months ago from HMV online, although it seems to have gone up now.

That's not bad at all. I can find individual DVD's for that price around here, but not the complete season. Smilie It probably doesn't help that I live in the U.S.
It's such a shame, because it has to be the best anime series I've ever seen... Guess I'll just start saving my rubles.

Just finished both series of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, and it was amazing, seriously, I suggest anyone who likes Mecha/War Animé and Death Note watches it.

I also watched the entirety of Sailor Moon (yes all 200 episodes) and it's all embedded into my brain, it's definitely one of the best (if not, the best) magical girl animé of all time.

Can I recommend Madoka Magica because it's only 12 episodes long and it's my favourite anime/show in general ever.
It's even better if you approach the series without any expectations because it's absolutely not what it looks like it is, I think anyone would really enjoy it if they watched the first 4/5 episodes at least. (that goes for the rest of you guys too Smilie)

As for me I've been watching One Piece since I last posted.. actually I watched the whole thing and am now up to date, and Jesus I love it Smilie
Now that I'm up to date I mostly don't know what to do with my life but I also finished Medaka Box which starts pretty lame and ends pretty well! So I'm looking forward to the next season.

And noow I'm back to watching Fairy Tail which still has the best pacing and overall cast of any long running anime I think (though I think I pefer One Piece overall).

Well, I knew they'd bring something up with her sooner or later, and it does explain a lot of things.
