Damn megaupload download limits.

Not that I'm implying that I was attempting to download 'Fighting Spirit' - 'Hajime no Ippo' from megaupload or anything.

It was on a totally unrelated (and completely legal) note.

Well legally I would recommend stopping by someplace like Barnes and Nobles or Borders and flipping through one of them just to see if you like it. Amazon also carries them. If you want to get ahold of them and have less exacting moral standards then there are a couple of websites I could point you to.

Hypothetically speaking;

If I were to download either of the two recommended manga, I would likely already have found full download links to both series.

Well good luck with your hypothetical downloading. I'd love to hear some feedback on whether people like my suggestions.

This is never going to work

As unpopular as manga is in this sub-forum, I am personally a big follower of the following:

Grappler Baki: It's basically a MMA-styled comic book. You have different martial arts styles going against each other. Everything from choke moves to breaking bones and beyond, it's basically like the UFC of manga.

Berserk: As mentioned above, it's basically a human who even though he is doomed rejects his destiny to go out and hunt down demons.

Naruto: As the manga goes on, the series gets a lot more serious. The powers are basically similar to x-men combined with Dr. Strange, people have all sorts of weird mutant-type abilities that they manifest later on.

Gantz: This series is just pretty bizarre. I don't know where to start, but if you're looking for a more serious manga with some horror / science fiction thrown in, this is a good way to look.

I've read and watched quite a few manga and anime.

Just name a genre and I'll throw out things I've enjoyed.

Anyone have links to Jojo's bizarre adventure?

What genre do you happen to like? I have a couple suggestions for new ones, and I know a couple of old ones you may not have heard of before.

This sin't a thread to say how good it is its to say what people think etc, I did mine so not trolling. I have asked a few questions anyway, but Akui guy answered.

I know what socks are, and considering I have never joined before thats untrue. This site has sock checks right. If so I want one to shut you up. 😄

Then once this is over I hope you can calm down and enjoy a spot of tea with me. 🪩

Funny that you know that considering how recently you joined.... durhmm

Found a way around the sockcheck have you?

So, who is zeebedee?

He also seems really familiar.

Oh by the way Lando, in response to your earlier question, if you're looking for good new anime I would recommend you check out Claymore. Also if you're looking for a good comedy series I would recommend GTO(Great Teacher Onizuka).
