Your guilty pleasures of anime and manga

I don't know what to write. I don't think I have any guilty pleasures as I don't feel guilty liking/hating anything I do, saying anything I do, or thinking anything I do.

Maybe I'll come up with something if I think about it a little more, or, if everyone throws darts at me, maybe one of them will stick. :P

I would say Shugo Chara, it is pretty cheesy girly girl magic girl show with a retarded plot but i i think the little charas are cute :D

Anime - Sky Girls, Brain Powerd, Potemayo and Card Captor Sakura
Manga - N/A

By basic definition, these may be guilty pleasures (Sky Girls might not be though), but I also have no problem admitting I like them. I can't think of a manga that fits the description, however.

I wouldn't call potemayo a guilty pleasure, a lot of people enjoy it and it is actually pretty good :)

The cell phone signal thing was hilarious.

I gots ta ask ya something. I just noticed you're reading something called "My Balls," which just so happens to have the most fascinating plot synopsis I've ever seen.

You never read Sei So Tsui Dan Sha I get it?

Anyway, like few people here already said, I can't think of any guilty pleasure I have.. Maybe it will hit me later.

The guilty pleasure I was too guilty to post about and which inspired this thread. :P

Well, I'm busted, so I might as well edit my first post.

Anyway, the plot goes like this: 19 year old loser gets the Demon Queen of Hell sealed in his balls. According to a contract with Heaven, she was supposed to get back the earth in one month and planned on destroying it.

So if he, err... gets off, the world is destroyed. Lots of almost-sex ensues and some creative plotting that pushes the envelope takes place. I'm ashamed to admit I found it hilarious and I'm guilty of liking it a lot.

I can't say I've read that. The thing that interests me about My Balls, is that it isn't designated as a hentai. I'm curious how it goes about it's premise without doing that, so I want to know what it's about.

Do you know how hard it is to search for My Balls on the internet? I'm finding all kind of things that I don't want.

That'd explain the thread, yeah. lol

Where do you get it from, my searches have been less than fruitful.

Do you know of http://www.gotlurk.net/ ? It's a huge scanlation database. It's also where I get all my manga. You basically search for the title you want then go on IRC to download what you want.

Whoops, the server is actually irc.highway.net

IRC is a great tool for directly downloading huge files, unlike direct download or torrents, which have varying speeds and limitations. IRC is a hassle to get going, but it's easy to use once you get the hang of it. Well, you'll see if you ever get to it.

I know it's a great tool, I just need to figure out how to use it one of these days. I'll keep this Lurk place in mind in case I ever do start using irc.

By the way, this is the best manga ever. Thanks for bringing My Balls to my attention.

irc.irchighway.net

After not going there for a year and trying to connect to irc.highway.net I was like why the fuck won't this connect :\

If you have no connection issues irc is a breeze to learn, heck you don't even have to enter f serves any more and do all that crap like

dir
cd porn
get lesbians.avi

anymore, you just use xdcc bots which you can search easy like with www.gotlurk.com for manga on irchighway or http://koolaiddistro.com for anime on rizon.

Iv read the "Manga" Groove talked about lol. If that wasn't enough i find the English dub of Kisaku hilarious. That guy as some of the best lines ever! One of the best was "The first rule of f*** club is you do not talk about f*** club" and the way he turns around and his thing points out at the ladys like a firing squad cracks me up.

I have a couple guilty pleasures.

Anime: Burst Angel, Chou Kidou Densetsu DinaGiga, Dragonaut, Gundam SEED/DESTINY, Pokemon

No real manga ones, but I don't read many manga in comparison to anime. My manga consists mainly of whatever I read before I stopped during high school for about two years, then all the shounen I picked up after. XD

I just can't get enough of My Balls. I can see why Holy Knight felt too guilty to mention it. It's a good thing I noticed and decided to bring it to everyone's attention. :P

Even though I was just going to read a few chapters to see what it was about, I actually ended up reading all 12 that were available at the moment and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's kind of like a romantic comedy...that should definitely be marked as hentai.

And what's up with Sei So Tsui Dan Sha's ending? That was more than messed up.

That's the best title ever for a manga. ROFL.

Guilty pleasures: Uh.....I guess Mahormatic and Love Hina. It's just such unabashed fanservice but yet I like it. As for manga.....I guess Vampire Knight. It's such a girly girl series(bishonen galore, pretty clothes, vampires).

I'm planning to watch To Love Ru because there will be so many H doujins coming out about it that i want in on the ground floor! Not that there isn't a good amount of to love stuff out already.

I wasn't into downloading in To Hearts time so this time will be different.

Looking at the anime series that will be showing in the spring reminded me of one of my manga quilty pleasures, Vampire Knight. I honestly agreed with almost everything said in an ANN review (RTO: "Worst Manga I've Ever Read"), and yet I'm still reading and enjoying the series.

I have to say that my main guilty pleasure is Yu-Gi-Oh! I like both the manga and the appalling dubbed anime. It's so utterly bizarre and cheesy that I can enjoy it almost as a parody of the shounen genre.
