Guilty Pleasures
 
Does anybody have a manga/anime that they are fans of, but even just the slightest bit embarrassed to admit it?

For me I would have to say that it's Sailor Moon (the original series, cheesiness and all). It's actually my first anime (saw it when I was in first or second grade) and I really liked it then, so I guess it has just kinda stuck. I'm an 18 year old guy, so I find it a little embarrassing to admit that I still like it (on top of that I had a huge crush on Sailor Mercury back in the day). So is there anyone else out there with a guilty anime/manga pleasure?

the closest thing that i can say...is the fact that i read fushigi yugi from beginning to end.

Probably Hokuto No Ken, just for the fact that it doesn't make much sense... BUT I LOVE IT!!! I can't explain why, either it's the big amount of blood or the corny story, I just love it...

Lol, I'll admit it. You weren't the only one.

Well, I'm generally quite open about the series I watch and read...

But, for the longest time, I hid the fact that I absolutely LOVED the Gravitation series.

I own all the 遙かなる時空の中で manga, the DVDs, and almost all the games (PS, PS2, PSP).

:D

It was Baby & Me...but the end of the 2nd volume was so depressing i stopped buying them...there are a few chapters that i have in some back issues of Shojo Beat

now it prolly has to be "One Piece"...so damn addicting!

Paradise Kiss. Regardless of what people think of the characters, I just melt every time I read it. Even though it's not my favorite series, it's really heart wrenching.

I also need to add Loveless. Not my top favorite either, but I hate shounen-ai and yaoi, and I love it. The emotions and dedication Soubi has to protect Ritsuka is admirable.

Haha really? That makes me feel better. But I couldn't really help it, she has that cute genius thing going on, and the cool blue hair.

I'll add another one to the list. I don't actually watch it regularly, but if I start watching an episode of YuGiOh, I just can't stop. I have no idea why. They just start busting out monsters left and right with their ridiculously set-up strategies and I'm hooked.

My goodness... You remind me of my bff J. Even though we're too old for it, she loves YuGiOh!! I agree that it's entertaining, but the way it is in English... :eek:
