Also, I have a vacation coming up, and I am beginning to fear that I have seen/read all the animanga worth seeing/reading, which I'm sure is not true. What are some of your favorite series? The more obscure, the better. Series with a creepy atmosphere, gorgeous art, and/or adorable characters are definitely a plus.

Date: 2010-02-11 02:31 am (UTC)From:- Mononoke (obvious pimp) -- Medicine seller of unknown origins and unknown motives roams around kicking ass and taking names. Very stylized art.
- I thought .hack//SIGN was pretty fun.
- Yami no Matsuei is inferior to the manga form and did at least one thing that made me want to punch the screen, but amusing nonetheless.
For manga:
- Dolls by Naked Ape (again, the obvious pimp) -- Rising crime rate in Japan forces overhaul of the criminal justice system, ending up in the creation of three-man hit squads who operate anonymously.
- Switch by Naked Ape -- Follows the wacky hijinks of a n00b cop on a narcotics squad in a similarly futuristic criminal justice system. Wacky hijinks are complicated by the yakuza and by said n00b occasionally going berserk. It's pretty rad.
- Honey Comb by Kazuya Minekura -- Rising body thievery rate in Japan (there seems to be a pattern here ._.) results in armed teams going to retrieve all healthy corpses. The yakuza may or may not be involved. This is one of Minekura's back-burner projects, methinks.
- Bus Gamer by Kazuya Minekura -- A new pastime of the rich is to hire teams of fighters and hackers to steal other corporations' secrets, either by stealth or by force or both. One of these teams gets a little too clever. Craziosity ensues. Also one of Minekura's back-burner projects, it seems.
- Silver Diamond by Shiho Sugiura -- Several people trip through a wormhole and meet a boy who can make things grow by looking at them for long enough. Being as they are from a desert in a dying world, this is the most awesome thing ever. Also, group hugs.
- Uzumaki by Junji Ito -- Lovecraftian horror plus spirals.
- Yami no Matsuei by Yoko Matsushita (a.k.a. Descendants of Darkness) -- Follows a team of two dead dudes as they try to ensure that no one is messing with the natural order of people dying or not dying.
M-my tastes are very questionable.
