| Berserk (manga) | Masterpiece | The stuff the anime missed is all here. Bloodier and sexier. Just like how Kenshin's flashback chapters are very different from current story; Berserk anime only covered Guts' past and it's very different from the current story. Guts past was about him joining the Band of Hawks and together with Griffith they achieve glory in battle. Current story is mostly about what happens after Griffith sacrifices the Band to become a demigod and Guts' quest for vengeance. However, other people join Guts along the way and its more like an RPG now with the brute melee, the agility fighter, the sorceress. Currently keeping up with the scanslation. |
| 3x3 Eyes (manga) | Masterpiece | Takada-sensei develops a vast and in-depth world combining religion, the supernatural, and magic. I think slow and overpriced Dark Horse gave up on it. Currently keeping up with the scanslation, read volume 26. |
| Naruto (manga) | Good | Stopped reading it in the middle of the "rescue Sasuke" arc. The anime seems so slow by then so didn't want to make it worse by spoiling myself of the story any farther. |
| Full Moon O Sagashite (manga) | | Read vol1, pretty good first volume. Watching the anime now instead. The anime seems slower and more kiddy than the manga. |
| Ranma ½ (manga) | | Read Vol 1, pretty funny. |
| Initial D (manga) | Very good | Read to Vol 16, those who enjoy driving/cars will like this series even more. It's 80% racing, 20% slice-of-life. Both are good. |
| One Piece (manga) | Excellent | Read some of it after watching the fansubs already, seemed very much the same as the anime so probably won't read any more of it until I've watched the end of the anime. |
| Bleach (manga) | Excellent | Not bad, though I would like to see more character developement/history/interaction and less arena fighting. Read up to volume 13, probably won't read anymore of it until the anime ends. |
| Full Metal Panic! (manga) | Very good | Follows the novels, combines the wacky stories of Fumoffu and the major arcs of the first TV season. |
| Gantz (manga) | Very good | As bloody and sexual as Berserk but the plot (until this final 3rd phase) leaves a lot of questions on "why". The setting is mostly an excuse to show as much gruesome fights and sexy babes as possible. That violence and sex is pretty addicting though :). |
