I posted this to BI last night. Figured I might as well add it here too.
=====================================

Of the things Wicked recommended, I'll definitely second the ones I've read.

Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura - Quite possibly my most favorite manga ever. (The current raws coming out of Japan have me all but hyperventilating!) ( Read more... )

If you loved me, you would buy me Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's a Classic Regency Romance with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem! I really shouldn't have to explain why I want it, need it, must have it. You do love me, don't you? (Thank you, esotaria, for bringing this to my attention ( Read more... )

As if the new season of Slayers and the upcoming Trigun movie weren't enough to make me squeeful...

Paper is half done. I want to go to sleep. May quit now and just wake up early tomorrow to finish it. Bah, mornigs. Humbug, school.

*beams at new ES fans*

Perhaps I should start doing manga reviews again... Here are a few more recs:

Death Note -- I cannot recommend this enough. (See mood icons.) Oneechan DO NOT START READING IT NOW! Two ( Read more... )

Getting around to posting the stuff I did at work over spring break. Better late than never I guess.

chymerikaen asked about these:

There's really no such thing as too many guys with swords to ogle.

Samurai Deeper Kyo

Good? Bad? Mediocre?

Manga? Anime? Both? Neither?

And since this is probably inevitable, how's it compare with Ruroken?

Or Blade of the Immortal/Mugen no Jyuunin if you're familiar with it? (Although I don't think anything could really ( Read more... )
