I'm just going to go ahead and start this in spam so I don't have to move it later, but yes, here it is and on time this time, the October Lottery thread! This month's topic is... comics and manga! This includes adaptations of series that start as comics or manga, so anime or cartoons or live action movies. Yes, I'm also including graphic novels in this, for those Walking Dead fans who want to know.
May the odds be ever in your favor!

Favorite manga ever is Yu Yu Hakusho. Hands down. The anime did an amazing job conveying the story and the dub voices are spot on. Kekkaishi is a close second for favorite manga, though they wrecked the anime in my opinion.

So, I haven't read the manga, but I don't think the Endless Eight arc of Haruhi Suzamiya translated well from manga to anime.
EDIT: Sorry Ki, you must have replied as I was making mine

Even I've heard of Endless Eight, and I'm not even a fan. Apparently they actually re-animated every episode on it's own.
Speaking of Yu Yu Hakusho, I recently sped through the manga all over again. The art really started to decline during the Three Kings Arc. Like, noticably.

But what is the more important aspect, art or plot?

But what is the more important aspect, art or plot? Normally plot, but I only just noticed that. Then again, I only read it (again) last week, so I'll probably forget about it in a couple of weeks. Did you see the guy in it that looks exactly like Michael Jackson? I did not, no.

[/quote] I did not, no.[/quote] Plot for sure. Like, take Fruits Basket for example. I HATE the way the eyes are done in the manga. Like, they make me want to scratch my own eyes out, but I love the story. And I'll find it and post it here. I'm not kidding. Just like Michael Jackson. Google calls him Yusuke Urameshi Lolno.

I tried reading Fruits Basket once. Then I fell asleep and forgot to get back to reading it.

If I may change subjects for a bit, if I don't post this picture, I'm gonna lose my mind. Discuss.

Why? People already think Michael Jackson is an Alien.
Maybe White Michael is an alien, while Black Michael is a demon. Makes perfect sense to me.

Speaking of YYH, does anyone know where the "I know as much about games as I do about hugs and puppies" line is? I've been trying to find that, but can't.

Like I said, it's my favorite manga. There isn't much I don't remember from it. >,,>
It does just enough plot to keep it from being a crappy generic shounen manga, but doesn't get so deep that I get depressed by the story line. Plus, it has Hiei.  And Jin. Needs more Jin.

So if there isn't much you don't remember, maybe you can tell me when Hiei says that line I asked? <.<

Everyone, show of hands!
Raise your hands if you're surprised that Tanuki is a fan of the plant using chessmaster who wins his battles through intimidation and torture!

Yeah, pretty sure it's in the Black Saga arc where they fight the psychics in preparation for Sensui. One of the kid's abilities is to make a world where video game competitions determine winners.

Tanuki's appearance reminded me of something. Kazy said that this thing is like a combination between Tanuki and Haru.
