    Shounen best as Anime, Shojo best as Manga

    I have this half-baked theory, based on not a lot of evidence, that the Shounen genre is best enjoyed via Anime where as Shojo is best when read in a Manga. The thinking is along the lines of a typical action/fighting based shounen clearly benefits from the visuals of full animation along...

    How do you find new Anime titles to watch?

    I was just curious in getting some idea on how you all go about finding new anime series to watch. I tend to get a bit bewildered by the vast quantity of stuff out there and end up not knowing where to turn next, so in short I guess I’m looking for any good tips you have on successful anime...

    Manga...Value for Money?

    I was meaning to put a post on this earlier - the post from a fellow manga-newbie harkins’s reminded me. I bought my first manga the other week (2 volumes X/1999 and STONe vol.1 for £15 @ FP), and its apparent pretty quickly, even at a discount rate, how much entertainment that money...

    Am I not a bit old for this sort of thing...?

    Perhaps not, the jury is still out...in any case, as I'm fast discovering, I’m sure I don’t need to convince any of you that anime has a lot more to offer than mere 'kids cartoons' Anyway, a welcome hello to anyone listening, I'm Jim - 32, hoping to share some views/opinions/thoughts/joy...
