Argh! Stop giving me good suggestions for manga and anime Wyrm! Anyway, yes, both of the things i'm about to talk about, were suggested by Wyrmcraft.

First, the manga i've been reading as of late, has been Bleach. I'm sure many of you have heard of it, because of all the unions about it. Anyway, if you haven't heard about bleach, i'd suggest that you take a look at it. It's much better than i expected it to be, but i'm only on book 8. It's about a boy named Ichigo Kurosaki, who has the strange ability to see ghosts. This ability gives him a very high amount of spiritual energy, and that makes him and his family a target for ghosts called "Hollows". Ichigo meets this one girl, who calls herself a Soul Reaper, and helps Ichigo fight the Hollow. When neither of them can beat it, Rukia makes Ichigo a Soul Reaper by giving him her powers. Ichigo beats the hollow, and the rest of the series kicks off from there.

Now, for the second thing.(Again, introduced to me by Wyrmcraft.)

The anime i've been watching as of late has been Code Geass. No, it's not pronounced like the bird. It's pronounced like Gee oss. The main character in this story, is Lelouch Lamperouge. It takes place in a futuristic Japan, that's been renamed area 11 by the Britanian Empire. Lelouch goes to a britanian school, but one day when he gets inside of a truck that was stolen after it crashed, the truck drives away with him still inside it, and eventually the truck crashes after Britanian forces stop it, because terrorists are driving it, and hauling poison gas inside it. After it crashes, a soldier in a special suit comes in to take any terrorists. The soldier sees Lelouch, and attacks him. After Lelouche blocks the attack, the man takes off his mask and reveals that he's lelouche's friend, Suzaku. Suzaku is Japanese, so he didn't go to the same school as Lelouche. The large pod that was in the back of the truck with Lelouch, that was thought to be sleeping gas opens up, and instead of gas, a girl falls out. The girl is bound and gaggged, so they help her up, and exit the truck. But then, a Britanian sqaud shows up, and forces Suzaku to shoot Lelouche. He refuses, and so the captain shoots Suzaku. But then, the captain threatens to shoot Lelouche, and when he fires the bullet, the girl steps in the way, and saves Lelouche. The girl then gives Lelouche a special power, where he can control the minds of others, and Lelouche forces the Britanin squad to kill themselves.

And that's the first episode. If you want more detail, watch it on Youtube.
