CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Hey

I'm really into Western comics, and my interest in Manga has been piqued. The only problem is that there are so many mangas, and many seem to be kind of iffy, so I'm looking for some recommendations. I'm not one of those Christians that are like "GASP-EH!!!" at every little thing, in fact I've been drawn to mangas like Priest and Helsing. Unfortunately, while the idea of a protestant vampire is kind of cool ( and my crush has an awesome Alucard outfit) I can't really justify the theology I guess. Anyway, any good mangas out there without having porn/yaoi, being occultic, etc....that someone can point me to? Oh, and I'm not into the whole robot/Gundam thing either. Sorry if I sound picky, just trying to be more specific.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You sound kinda like me...I'm not easily offended either.

Anyway, a little help please? Okay, so you're not into the robot thing. Kewl. But what ARE you into? Action, magical girl, romantic comedy, I mean, give us some ideas.

But before that, go post a welcome thread so we can properly welcome you!

hmm... how about Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Bleach, Pita Ten, Hitsuji no Uta(Lament of the Lamb), or Naruto?^^

Heh. Sorry.

Hmmm....I like fantasy/action, monsters/beasties, romance is cool too. Oh, and I'm big on anthros, though alll the anthro comics I've seen so far are overly horny

Thank you! I've heard of Naruto before (yay for foxes), and I think Fullmetal Alchemist, I'll have to check out these other titles. Again, thanks for your insight! I really apprciate it.

np^^ Fullmetal Alchemist isnt licensed yet so if you want some links to where you can download the manga PM me^^

The only monster currently evident is said lady.

For fantasy/action, try Jing: King of Bandit.

*bows*

I've actually looked at Lament of the Lamb, and it seemed interesting. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll have to give it a second look, as well as the King of Bandit.

Thank you!

Yeah, isn't that the one about two brothers and one dies and gets resurrected into some machine type thing? Or is that something else? Anyway, thanks for the offer. I've got some manga research to do tomorrow ^_^

Okay.

FRUITS BASKET!! Oh, I love this manga. You really should read it. Everyone should for that matter.

Um... If you like action, you should try Rurouni Kenshin. What else?

Fruits Basket, Tokyo Mew Mew, Imadoki, Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle.... to name a few ^^'

NARUTO!! [/fanboyism]

Seriously, Naruto is a really good manga. Ask just about anybody.

I recommend One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Rave Master, Case Closed, Shaman King, Hikaru no Go, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. That should give you some titles to work with. You could try browsing through http://www.shonenjump.com. They have a good selection of shonen/action/adventure manga.

TrigunTrigunTrigunTriguntrigun and Trigun Maximum!!!!

Thanks for all the titles to check out, and the link. Much appreciated

Yes, it seems that Naruto has been recommended a lot. In fact, I asked the president of our anime club at school if he knew of any anime (or in this case manga) with foxes in it, and he gave me this title. I'll have to give it a second look. Thanks!

Thank you Oro!girl7. I feel kind of silly taking up so many posts with my replies but I just wanted to thank every one of you! You guys rock. ^_^

Coolness. I will most definitely check it out. Thanks!

Here's a tip. All of those replies could have (and should have) been done in only one post. That way, it saves a lot of space and won't annoy the moderators. Double posting is frowned upon at almost all internet messageboards.

If you need you have any questions about any of the mangas suggested, feel free to PM me or pretty much anyone else who responded. We're glad to help.
