I'm not familiar with life or Kamikaze Girls, but the others are all pretty much comedy/romance with maybe some magic thrown in, right? In that case, besides what's already been recommended, I would suggest Yume Kira Dream Shoppe (which is a one volume manga containing short stories about the...

I've read a lot of the Shojo Beat stuff - do you have any preferences in terms of what type of story (i.e. fantasy, slice-of-life, comedy, teen girl angst, etc.)? Personally, my current favs in that line are Kaze Hikaru, a story about a girl who joins the Shinsegumi (well-researched historical...

I personally own seasons 1 - 5, and of those I would say that I really only enjoyed the first 3; after that it did seem like it was more of the same. However, if they are re-releasing the seasons for the budget-conscious, I will probably pick up seasons 6 and 7 too, if only for completeness (not...

Yeah, you're right!:) I'm finding a lot of that type of discussion (i.e. meaning of life, meaning of right and wrong, good and evil, etc.) on the forums (which I personally think is great; gotta love the philosophical debates!:D ), but the show itself isn't being bogged down by weighty...

I love that play!!:D However, for those unfamiliar with it, here is what http://www.enotes.com/skin-our has to say about the time period in which it is set: "Disrupting traditional notions of linear time, Wilder's play tells the story of the twentieth-century American Antrobus family in three...

I haven't managed to capture the promo on TV yet either (although, admittedly I don't watch absolutely everything on AS, and what I do watch I tape on the DVR so I can zoom through commercials. . . but you can still see the commercials - just fast- so I think I would have noticed if it had come...

So, generally speaking, current opinion suggests that we will not get to finish this whole long Soul Society arc until after Death Note has a full run (of, what, something like 37 episodes)? Gah, are you serious? They leave us at a cliffhanger close to the end of a major story arc and we don't...

For those who believe in a "God", how many of them actually know who their "God" is? Part of believing in a supreme being is having faith that this being is all-knowing, all-powerful and exists in reality while knowing that one will never see or have contact with him/her. Of course, given that...

I would absolutely not use a Death Note; if one came floating down and into my hands, I would read it, then destroy it, and probably feel like I had to wash my hands about 10 times before I felt clean again! ;) Here's why I know I would never use it: 1. (the stupid, but still honest reason) I...

Personally, I rather doubt that a true god would "play god" in the way that we generally use the term; if a god was just gonna get jealous and start killing off people because they didn't believe in him or weren't worshipping him using his approved methods, would he actually be worthy of being...

Me neither! It just doesn't seem like all that great a deal, frankly: sure you could see everybody's name above their heads (and reality suddenly starts looking like a mmorpg :D ), but I doubt that small bit of convenience would seem all that worthwhile when the time came to die and you...

This one struck me a bit as well, but I'm willing to believe that it may be less a gap in logic and more a character point. After all, we aren't privy to every little line of logic which L's brain is following, but we have seen him make impressive and logical deductions based on many small...

Are you sure the eyecatch about "When a human dies, his/her soul goes to nothingness" wasn't refering to a human who has used a death note? Because otherwise you're right, what would be the point of Ryuk telling Light that a human who uses a death note cannot go to heaven or hell. I'm kind of...

Meh, I guess I'm in the minority when I say that this episode was one of my least favorite Boondocks eps. Of course, that's probably mostly because it was all Stinkmeaner all the time and that was way more Stinkmeaner than I could stomach. (He's definitely on my list of 10 most annoying...

I am really liking L so far; I admire the way he thinks. Light, on the other hand, is so far striking me as more clever than actually smart; I mean, the method he devised for hiding the death note in last week's ep was wonderful, with a way to counter just about every possiblity should someone...
