Well it means I have been an avid Excel Saga Fan for 5-6 years now.  Basically since the manga first came out. My manga collection has just surpassed the 150 mark... I've got quite a ways to go *sigh*

And I can recognize Genshiken anywhere... even in Starcat's bookshelf of course! (second favorite series)

A long way to go?!  Hell, I have 21 manga books and don't plan to buy any more until Excel Saga Volume 17 comes out.

Where I live it is pretty commonplace to have many, I know of at least 3 other collections bigger than mine though, and I have heard of a fabled 600+ collection...

under 100 for me. My full collections above 8 are:chobits, love hina, marmalade boy (don't know why i even get that).
Gotta say that as you go along, you need more books. A person may think "i can leave it at 50 or something" but you read the books, you want more, MORE.
It seems funny to think i have so much, but once you've read the books about 5 times or something, you've moved on.
maybe i should open a manga bookshop and then i can read all the stuff and sell them afterwards.

I believe my first was DBZ... Excel Saga was one of the last series I picked up... but it's definitely my favorite out of all I've read. :] :elembarassed:

Meant to put it after saying my first manga was DBZ. Then I decided to add more and forgot to move the blush over. ;P

First anime I ever saw was def Sailor moon, then DBZ (I honestly had no idea these were anime at the time I just thought of them as cartoons)

First manga was I believe Love Hina, though only one book of it. It was actually fate because when I was on a boss heading home the bus broke down not once but twice (two dif buses) and it was the middle of the night. On the final bus this girl was reading a book that was from right to left and I asked if I could look at it. This was Love Hina. After I got back home a few months later I thought of that book and wanted to learn more about it so I watched the whole anime. But I owe my interest in manga to that unknown girl...

It's about a bunch of idiotic aliens (and a small number of powerful humans who are rapidly outclassed by said idiotic aliens in terms of raw power) that posture at each other for several episodes/volumes insulting each other before they finally fight in a flurry of cartoonish attacks and various other high-energy mass destruction powers which invariably destroy large tracts of land and severely lower property values.  Popular if you are a 13 year old or younger boy.

But that's just my take on it  :im_nabeshin:

As a manga?  I'm sure it is, but it's as an anime that most people know it best, and if you include the first series Dragonball, the second and longer series Dragonball Z (the one most people are familiar with), and Dragonball GT (which even Dragonball fans would like to forget), then you have one of if not the longest running anime series in history.  I have only seen a few volumes of the manga version locally as it's not really that popular anymore (most people in the age category to watch something in this vein tend to go for Naruto and Bleach now - though I will say I like Bleach but have never seen anything but the horrid English dub of Naruto).

I think One Piece has finally beaten the DB legacy in terms of length now.

Agreed, english Naruto was just butchered and should only be watched (even if its the japanese version) to like the 80th episode where Sasuke leaves. Then go watch Naruto's new anime based on the 2 year change. DONT watch the 100+ Episodes of fillers that they had running for god long 2+ years... Only about 3 of them were at all good...

About DBZ also you got to remember it was cut down a lot on the blood and boobs, it wasnt as kiddy as america made it out to be...

As I recall, my first introduction to anime was Akira, a movie that amazed me to no end, soon followed by Fist of the North Star, which I thought was just freakin' awesome, being a 15 year old boy.

Those two started it all.

I can't exactly recall which specific manga I bought first...
I have a lot.  Could have been Beet The Vandal Buster, may have been FL CL, perhaps was DragonBall Z, and InuYasha is also a likely candidate.  Pokemon?
