				| Does anybody besides me here watch anime and read any manga series? 
 For my part, I am currently watching Naruto, and loving it. I think that the best characters are Naruto and Kakashi, for those who have watched it.
 
 Another one I really really loved is Neon Genesis Evangelion, a small 26 episode and two OVAs series.
 
 Have watched others as well, such as Vampire Hunter D, Slayers (Lina Inverse avatar btw), etc.
 
 Anyone else?
 
 P.S. I watch the Japanese versions, which are uncut with English subs. For non licensed anime, there are a lot of fansubbing groups, most of them quite good.

				| Sometimes when you leech pr0n you end up with that cartoon crap.   
 I don't like it, cause it's hard to get a good fapping beat going when it's just a cartoon.
   Also, Japanese sounds sort of whiney, so I don't like the sound. That goes for movies with real actors too.
 As for subs... Well, never thought about it really. They generally don't talk a lot in those movies, so it's of less importance.

				| My youngest watches it all the time.  He is 20. 
 I must say that the audio makes me a little crazy, it is also all in Japanese.
 I just don't see the attraction, but to each their own..........

				| Well, because most films/TV you see is in English you are not used to other languages. However, because in Europe we do get more stuff, I do not mind listening to other languages. 
 I am also learning Japanese, and will be doing the exam for 4kkyuu (the first certificate) in December.
 
 Not all manga are read right to left some have been adapted to the left to right way. However, some are difficult to adapt, because you have to mirror it and will lose some meaning.
 
 There are all kinds of anime out there, from teh serious ones to the silly, from the romantic ones to the action-packed ones.
