ADTRWiki

ADTRWiki is a wiki set up for members of the Something AWful forums to recommend and comment on anime and manga. It offers members a chance to contribute synopsii and reviews for series, in order to help people find stuff to their tastes!

You can find the ADTRW FAQ at ADTRW FAQ,

How can I contribute my opinion?

Opinions can be added on series pages by clicking [edit] next to the "Personal Opinions" header near the bottom of the page. Then type three equals signs, your name, and another three equal signs, followed by your opinion on a line below. Make sure to save! You can find editing help at Help:Editing

How can I add a page?

Anime

"I am new to anime/ manga, or don't know where to start."

Anime is quite diverse; tastes for it vary as much as tastes in anything else. It can seem daunting if you have new-found interest in the medium to figure out where to start.

To that end, we've compiled a nice list of good "intro" series. Please note that these category classifications aren't absolute (many of the action series are also sci-fi, so forth), and that these are certainly not the only good series out there. Read the series summaries, along with commentated opinions, to see if they are something you might want to try!

Many of these series are available via Amazon, though some have not been released domestically; for these, you'll have to search for them via torrenting or other means (see the ADTRW FAQ).

Anime

Action Comedy Drama/Suspense Fantasy Horror/Mystery Psychological Romance Sci-Fi Sports

In addition to these series listed, you may wish to check out the works Hayao Miyazaki, which are all uniformly good. You may wish to also look for anime adaptations for some of the series below (though not all...)
