If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.ggFor currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net |

Sengoku rance is the shit in terms of actually having gameplay with nude pictures. On the other hand its not really like the mangas you asked for to begin with. If you haven't use mangafox's advanced search http://www.mangafox.com/directory/?advopts I've found it quite helpful in locating manga by genre. There's dozens of ecchi harem mangas out there so I'm sure you can find something you like.
Rance is pretty much the aspiration of maniless..... in a bad way.
but that's what makes him such a manly and awesome character.

Fair enough.
Anybody with a recommendation for a sports anime/manga?
I've been though: Ippo,Prince of tennis,major,eyeshield,slam dunk, air gear (dropped), Kenichi, Giant killing (anime only nobody translates the manga  ) saki, akagi. Big fan of the genre, and I think I've been through pretty much all the big names, anything I might have missed?

One Outs, Captain Tsubasa, Taishou Yakyuu Musume if you want to see girls playing a bit of baseball. Also, don't know if it counts, but maybe Basquash?

Since TL doesn't have a general manga thread, I figured it'd just post this here. Lately I've been reading a lot of manga and most of them turned out to be some kind of harem/ecchi. I'm reading To Love-Ru, Nagasarete Airantou, The World God Only Knows and frankly, I want moar.
Does anyone have any recommendations in this genre here on TL?
Preferably some manga with an easy to follow main story, with a lot of funny moments xP. Generally with a light mood too. Reasonably developed too, if possible. I hate to read a good manga and come to an unexpected stop due to catching up too early :<
Hayate no Gotoku and Mahou Sensei Negima kinda fit what you're looking for. Hayate is more comedy than anything else, really. The plot likes to rear its head every now and then, but it's definitely nothing regular. Negima is written by the same guy that did Love Hina if I'm not mistaken, so it's very firmly in the realm of the harem comedy. The plot is not bad from what I've read so far. Chapter 177 of 307 and counting~

I ain't complaining. Hell, the series was awesome in the start but the last episode just butchered everything up imo. But eh, I have gotten over it, now that I think about it, it seems funny. I still think the ending could have been a bit better. Didn't read the manga.

BTW - Can anyone recommend older anime series to watch? :

Best. Ever. Aired from late '80s to late 90s :D. Only 110 episodes tho.

I see a distinct trend here from responses of school days, so I'm going to do a poll.
Assume you are a male, and when you watch harem style anime, do you..
Poll: What perspective do you use when watching animeThird person, you are not involved but watch the story unfold (18) 86% First person, the male lead is you (3) 14% 21 total votes Your vote: What perspective do you use when watching anime (Vote): First person, the male lead is you
(Vote): Third person, you are not involved but watch the story unfold
I find the final episode fantastic, kind of vindicated everything I had to put through with beforehand because Makoto got what he deserved. And I watched it from a 3rd person perspective.
I can relate if others watched it from first person and was shaken by the ending, but I find Makoto the most despicable character I've seen in the genre.

Crap, misclicked. For whatever reason Third Person is on top of the poll but second choice, clicked to be like wtf, first person?

Don't worry, no one is about to beat the likes of Kuroneko and Okabe Rintarou on that department.

Ending in manga was better in School days... It kinda ended the way i wanted.

Even when playing visual novels I do it 3rd person

His ability is too plothax though. And then it gets even worse. The only person with more plothax is Touma himself. I mean, even when he loses, he wins. It's ridiculous.
