This is my top animes/mangas that ive watched/read:
1- One Piece
2- Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Brotherhood (this is the one that sticks to the manga storyline)
3- Fairy Tail (only read manga)
4- Naruto
5- Highschool of the dead (only read manga)
6- Hunter x Hunter (only read manga also)
7- Bleach
8- Deadman Wonderland (dont know where to put in in my top, but its awesome... only read manga)
One might say that One Piece is very childish because of the way its drawn, but IMO, it is the most mature and complex anime i've ever seen... from the very deep character background in everyone to the very well used cliffhangers, the way Oda plays with the emotions, the way it show us the adventures of a group of pirates, and makes ourselves question who are the good ones, the pirates or the marines, leading to think of, sometimes, who are the good ones IRL too...
Eiichiro Oda is the master of making us feel like we're inside the history ourselves, and make us feel an extreme hate for some chars while make us simply adore others, i stiil remember the chills i got when they went to skypea with the knockup stream with the music playing... or when luffy rang the bell, proving that Montblanc Norland wasn't a lier... or when Robin finnaly asks luffy to be saved and ussop snipes the marines from the tower in water 7...
The most epic Anime i think i will ever watch... i'd recoment it to anyone.
Fullmetal Alchemist is another anime i simply loved... watched it in one week.
The quality of the history i'd say it can be compared to One Piece, but the thing is... its 2 short... 64 episodes makes us want more.
Fairy Tail is another quite interesting to see... some cliffhangers... humor is always present between the mages of the guild.
IMO the best cliffhanger i've seen is in this manga.
Nothing to say about Naruto... i bet you already know what it is about... i juat want to say... if you never watched anime... watch this one first, because if you dont do so, this one will be sooo boring compared to the awesomeness of the others... not saying its bad, but IMO, it is HIGHLY OVERRATED.
Highschool of the Dead is a apocalypse zombie survival series, very close to the now famous The walking dead Comics(im reading it too), this manga is drawn in a very PERV way, its full of humor, but when it comes to surviving a horde of zombies, it doesnt let you down... a very good storyline and everything... 2 bad its on hiatus for a year now, and noone knowswhen its coming back.
Hunter X Hunter teels the history of a boy named Gon Freaks, whos goal is to become a professional hunter meet his father Gin Freaks, who is a legendary hunter by himself, and Gon's friends Killua, kurapika and Leorio... the story is very good, but the ant arc bored me to death... BUT THAT ARC IS FINISHED NOW!!... and this new one seems amazing.
Bleach IMO is another highly overrated series... the way its drawn lacks every detail, the scenarios are very poor, the only thing that saves the art its the chars, which aren't that bad, and a great storyline... not deep and complex, but great.
Deadman Wonderland is a FINE manga, it show us the story of a boy named Ganta, who is arrested for a crime he didnt comited, the murdering of all his classmates... He goes to a prison called Deadman Wonderland, where he discovers that he had gain some weird power that allows his to control his blood at his will, making it into a weapon... this is the one to read if you feel like you have nothing to do.
DW isn't on the last place because i think its worse than the others, but because i didn't know where to put it. Its an amazing serie on its own.
