Trigun (Maximum) is the anime (manga) to rule them all.
It's about Vash the Stampede and the question you should ask is Is Vash the Stampede the ideal example of symbiosis between a man and nature. Is it the way for the future, how to treat others and nature with love and peace.

hmm.. read a bit of that tutorial.. coveres the basic stuff

I bought two manga-drawingbooks at a store, for a couple of euro's. I kinda recommend that, I don't like online tutorials anyways, I rather have a physiical book n stuff :P

besides that I learned by just looking t manga pics on the interwebz, and try to draw them.. or parts of them

I mostly only draw faces, up front, or just eyes.. when I'm bored during college :P

I want to try some dynamic poses someday, but I find it really hard to get it to look 'natural' and to get the proportions right. I know there are 'rules' for it, like *use 3 heads for the legs* but I still practice :P
I don't like rules. I rather just draw something :P

^ You are so right! It's very annoying when you have to remember hundred and one rules when you start to draw.... :x So, I too rather draw what I want and how I want :lol:

I've been reading manga for about seven years now, and my tastes have changed more or less during these years. At the moment my faves are Yotsuba&! , Honey & Clover, Ouran High School Host Club, xXxHolic and Fullmetal Alchemist.
Nowadays I read pretty much western comics, too. I used to be like "There are no good story-comics in western comics" But then I found The Sandman and Bones, and then i just kept borrowing more random stuff from the library.

There are actually no rules whatsoever when drawing in "manga"-style. It's only about the way the artist him/herself wants their characters to look like. Plus, in my humble opinion, the best way of learning how to draw in any style you want is to study the way the things work for yourself. Sure, when drawing people, it's really handy to learn some basic tips such as first drawing a circle with a cross, but learning to draw isn't about keeping copying other people's pictures and styles but to go towards your own style.

Sorry if I sounded too...Teacher-like or something...

I didn't notice this topic before, weird :shock:
I love anime and manga. Here's some series I like:

-Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
-Umineko no Naku Koro ni
-Elfen Lied
-Azumanga Daioh
-Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (first anime I ever saw, if Moomins are not count on)
-Chibi Vampire/Karin
-Full Metal Panic!
-Black Lagoon

The first one is at this moment my fav anime series, the name in english is When the Cicadas Cry. It's very bloody anime, but it still has funny scenes and cuteness.

Hayao Miyazaki films are great too. Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro, Ponyo and Spirited Away are my favourites from him :)

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is a fine movie, though I don't play FF games. I have it on blu-ray (the so-called complete version of the movie with extra scenes). Reno was the best character in it :D

I like anime and manga. My the most favourite should be Sailor Moon - kind and touching, from childhood and Clannad - dramatic, true and life-like, touching.

I love Manga!

I actually read a couple of a couple but watch a lot of anime.

I read Naruto, Hell Girl, Death Note, Black Butler, Deadman Wonderland and Monster Love.

Anime's different, however. I'm a bit of an anime freak. :lol: I'll spare you the details and leave it at that!

It wouldn't surprise me if no one has heard of it, but I fell in love with a short-lived anime called Pumpkin Scissors. I looked up the manga, and while the series stopped the English translation after Book 5, it is still being written and is still translated in French! It drove me so crazy to mot know how it ends, I decided to write some fan fiction and invent my own ending! :twisted: I'm currently finishing my 2nd story, hope to end it with a 3rd! :P
