[OOC] Naruto: Hikage no Ha (日陰の葉 / Leaves in the Shade)

[Yorutenchi]

Yeah I feel ya. Right now instead of doing my online classes I am currently watching a flashback arc of the chunin exams that I missed on the Naruto Anime. I didn't really watch the anime much after it was taken off the air in the states. I mostly just read the manga. So there is a lot of little stuff I still haven't seen yet.

[caliban22]

Shockingly i did the same a week ago. Was pretty good i guess.

[Yorutenchi]

I have to hand it to the Naruto anime. They are the only anime I have seen that does filler really really well. Half of the time I actually look forward to the filler because the stories are usually pretty well written and they are something new that I havne't already read in the manga.

[caliban22]

Yeah that they do. It wasnt a bad anime all things considered.

[Yorutenchi]

Nah. I don't think it was as meaningfully deep as some of the more artsy anime but in terms of just how entertaining it was overall it was probably top 10 for me. I was an uber narutard back a few years ago. I still think it lingers in my blood.

[caliban22]

Huh thats neat. Uou a huge anime fan?

[Yorutenchi]

Oh yeah. Major anime otaku with a well used Crunchyroll account. Got tons of paperback manga but I don't think I own much anime on the discts other than Fairy Tail, Vampire Knight and Angel Beats.

[caliban22]

Sounds fun, wait maybe you can help, my buddys younger twin siblings "love" manga and anime. Anything you can recommend to a 14 year old girl and a 14 year old boy. Im about the most knowledgeable person i know on the subject and all i know is ive seen naruto and ive seen like three anime movies for a class in high school.

[Yorutenchi]

Okay I have an endless amount of recommendations.

First off do they want completed manga? Ongoing manga? Are they okay with slightly older manga?

For everyone my recommendations are usually
Fairy Tail
Naruto
Witchcraft Works
Full metal Alchemist
Pandora Hearts
Owari No seraph (Seraph of the end)
so...so...so many more.

Some good "boyish" manga (I say that because I am a firm believer than girls can like shounen and boys can also like shoujo) would be things like Kuroki no Basket, Slam Dunk, Yu Yu hakusho, Kenichi: History's strongest deciple, One piece, Code Breakers.

Shoujo manga that are good are Fruits Basket, Vampire Knight, Tu love ru and ouran High school. But there are an endless amount of manga in all genre's that are really good.

[caliban22]

Okay thank you. Now i got information that i can tell them. By the way the boy likes romance and is very innocent... With lack of a better word he is a girl...not a fan of fighting...but hes cool. The girl loves mma and is learning martial arts...to sum her up she is a bro, loves fighting, story, and loves the idea of being stuck in a game..she dosent mind romance... If that helps.

[Yorutenchi]

Kenichi: History's strongest disciple for the girl

Witchcraft works for the boy.

[caliban22]

Thank you.

[Yorutenchi]

No problem. I am an endless supply of useles anime and manga knowledge.

[caliban22]

I would hardly say useless. Helped me out a bit.

[Yorutenchi]

Glad to help. You not that much into anime/manga?

[caliban22]

Im into naruto and one other i forgot the name... But thats about it atm...

[Yorutenchi]

I also like a lot of comics too. But manga I think I like better.

[caliban22]

Oh what you a comic person huh. Marval or DC?

[Yorutenchi]

I like certain ones of both. If I had to choose I think I like Marvel more. If nothing else specifically for X-men. I also like spiderman a lot.

I have the whole collection of the X-23 series that came out. She is my favorite comic book character between them all I think.

[caliban22]

Word? So you collect thrm?
