My Top Anime/Manga List

Who doesn't love anime and manga. To the many "Otakus" like myself, these Japanese drawings and animations are part of our daily lives. Without them, out lives would be incomplete and filled with dissatisfaction.

What happens when you finish the entire manga series or the manga's translators drops the manga for another project? What happens when you finish the last episode of your favourite anime or the anime haven't updated yet?

Don't cry just yet. This is where this post comes in handy. Here is a list of my favourite anime and manga that I absolutely love and would recommend.

Manga:

  • Fairy Tail - About magic and friendship. Epic fighting scenes. Shounen. Comedy.
  • Magi - About magic and wars. Set in the past. Shounen. Comedy.
  • Naruto - About ninja and fighting. Emotional while comedic. Shounen. Comedy.
  • Akagami no Shirayukihime - About love and perseverance. Sweet romantic plot. Shoujo.
  • Attack on Titans - About humans being on the verge of extinction. To survive, they need to fight Titans. Shounen. Horror.
  • Bleach - About soul reapers and monsters. Also lots of fighting. Shounen. Supernatural.
  • Kaichou wa Maid-Sama - About love and society. Sweet and quirky. Shoujo. School Life.
  • Kamisama Hajememashita - About Japanese gods and love. Shoujo. Fantasy.

KissManga is an amazing site to read manga. Mangafox is a more professional site but often popular manga are blocked on this site due to copyrights.

As for website to watch anime, I would recommend Crunchyroll if you have adblock and GogoAnime if you don't. YouTube also offers some full episodes anime at decent quality.

If you don't have adblock, I would strongly recommend you to get it; its free and it gets rid of annoying ads.
