I have to admit I don't know much about Anime or Manga.
Only some of the better-known ones, like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel Alita, Ranma 1/2, Heidi...
(I grew up with European comics and cartoons)
The main reason I registered here is to ask a question the fine folks over at MyAnimeList couldn't answer.
When I've asked it (after this post has been approved), I'll add a link to it here.
