But that's only because Hirioy is simply bizarre in and of himself.

I personally like anything with humor and/or action and/or romance(kinda). I'm finishing up Busou Renkin, on the latest English copy of Suzuka and Air Gear. Hoping to start Gun Blaze West soon. It's written by Nobuhiro Watsuki whose the author of Rurouni Kenshin and Busou Renkin... And is awesome.

As for anime, I'm watching Full Metal Alchemist... 4 episodes and the movie left to go!

I want to see a Harvest Moon anime...

Not an expert on what?

I've seen every episode.

Need to watch the OVAs and movies though...

That usually applies to majority of the anime/manga it seems.. o_o' Such as the way a character dies in the anime/manga... or ... usually something that isn't tied too much to the storyline, that is already too good to make any improvements on.

Like how in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Bo-bobo used a Fist of the Nose Hair attack where Yugi from YuGiOh popped out of his afro and summoned some monsters that defeated his enemies. ... Which is also apparent in Jump Super Stars, since that's one of Bo-bobo's special when linked with Yugi.

Manga seems to have more time to explain and show what it's trying to tell. Give more detail to things...

Chobits honestly bored me to death...... Maybe it was because it was too.... clean and tasteless..... It felt like a dating sim for some reason.

Anyways, I'm just finished reading through the Thriller Bark arc in One Piece, though the crew is in quite a fix the moment. I would not spoil but I honestly did not expect an event of such magnitude to happen when the arc felt like it was coming to a close. Can't wait to see what Eiichiro Oda would do next. Still my overall favorite manga, though I'm pissed at thier slow-ish translations by Viz Media.

Oh yeah, a qoute "You are not just a duck, or underwear. You are.... Dundies...." Most epic twist in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo anime.... Though I'm kidding.

I see King Bradley in that picture at the top!

Anyways, I just finished Full Metal Alchemist (inc. Conquerer of Shamballa)... I gotta say, that didn't exactly end happily. Now Winry is all by herself sad
