The Landslide
[13] Hero
Snip.
Yeah, Eden of the East isn't really appealing to me, everyone just tells me it is very good. I enjoyed Darker Than Black, but I didn't enjoy that it had no answers to offer me. I like when a medium offers its world to you though avenues outside of tiresome exposition, but the fact is that we will never know a lot about Darker Than Black and that is the entire point. I'll check out Sword Art Online though.
I just feel like I fell out of interest in Anime. I used to really enjoy it, and while some shows were excellent with pacing, drama and storytelling like Higurashi, and I really enjoyed the scene where Levy (Revy? Whatever) and Rock yelled at each other at that patio restaurant in Black Lagoon I just feel like Anime has been missing the mark for me. I have always wanted to watch Spice and Wolf though, so maybe I'll try that next.
If you liked Full Metal Alchemist, Trigun, Outlaw Star (The Classics), you may like Blue Exorcist, Kekkaishi.
You've seen Ghost in the Shell right? It's one of the best!
I love GitS! Great show, great art! Never heard of Blue Exorcist or Kekkaishi, so I'll check them out.
My favorite mangas are pretty hyperviolent (Blame, Berserk) and right now I'm reading Knights of Cydonia which is a pretty standard giant-robo-in-space-fights-disgusting-and-horrific-monsters romp, but I love it!
