I need some manga that is appropriate for elementary schoolers. My two girl cousins like manga, but my aunt is having trouble finding stuff that is not "too sexual or violent".

I was thinking of suggesting stuff like Shugo Chara, Card Captor Sakura, and Yotsuba&!
Any other good ones I could add to the list?

Sailor Moon? Zoids is really cool, but I think it's only an anime, and it does have -some- violence. Pokemon? Digimon may also be a good option. They're neat, and all the main characters are kids, so your cousins can relate.

Although, really, it depends on what age they are (The first Pokemon Movie is timeless though. Timeless.). Maybe something more like Hikaru no Go (Haven't read a whole lot of it, mixed reviews) might be in order.

Day 11 of Fate/Stay night is awesome.

Just finished Ergo Proxy, I would say it was fantastic.
In my top 5 favorite shows.

I'll need to watch this sometime.

Yes, you do.

Code Geass is awesome.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

And you doubted the Chaos?

By the way, where are you at (Don't forget spoilers!)?

Ugh, this is just ridiculous.  When did I even start doing this whole blarg animu/mango/heavylightvisualnovel thing again?  I don't even remember.  Why did I start?!  Ahhhhh...actually more like うわあああああああああああああああああ

Lol@Hirigana

What happened!? How are you not finding entertainment from this media!?

And FMA:B is pure awesome, although I wish I could find the dubs. It's funny, all the anime I watched early on in my anime-watching career I enjoy much more as dubs, they just sound weird when it's not, I'm so used to it. And the FMA dubs are pretty well done, too.

You can't find them at cartoonnetwork or funimation or wheverever Adult Swim hosts their anime online for free so people can watch it? Maybe FMA:B is too new for that, and it may just be older stuff (I heard Zoids was still on there).

EDIT:

Spoiler: What's that Miria? (click to show/hide)

The people near the top of the screen, with their colored boxes, remind me of the trainer versus screen in the newest Pokemon games when a trainer battle is initiated. Imagine the possibilities. GUNMEN ARE NOW POKEMON.

I would totally watch that.


Halfway through Ergo Proxy, liking it more and more.
The mindfuck episodes so far rival the Dollhouse scene in Ghost in The Shell 2 for pure weirdness and awesome.

You know, now that I think of it, you're right. The mindfuck episodes of Ergo Proxy definitely rival the Dollhouse.

Oh that's right.  I watched the first Ghost in the Shell movie a while ago.  Is the sequel good?

I was somehow mislead when I recorded it. I thought that Ghost in the Shell = Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. They are just based on the same thing, the style appears a lot different.

GitS2 is very, very well animated. One of the best animated movies I've seen, with very good CG as well.

The story... well...

This is my summary of it.
Some sexbots go rogue and start killing people. Cue Section 9 investigation. 1/3 to 1/2 way through the movie, when the basis of the plot has been established and some action goes down, begin quoting obscure literature that has nothing to do with the plot. Such quoting of literature now dominates 90% of all dialogue henceforth. Any non-quoted dialogue is now a psychological analysis on an aspect of society that has little to do with the plot (YET THE PLOT STILL ADVANCES LOGICALLY). Cue horrible Asian turn-off music forever, more quoting, less dialogue, then all action, action, action, action, action, end.

What the characters are saying and what is actually going on in the movie split somewhere and take wild turns. The movie was still enjoyable, but it would have been SOOO much more enjoyable if it was in the same style as S.A.C. rather than "WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!? WHY ARE YOU EVEN SAYING THAT!? HOW IS THAT A QUOTE!?"

Well, Suzaku's not going to get a Good End now that

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Euphie got GENDOWN'D

...

What about Rivalz?

Suzaku gets...

See, I don't know how you mean a "Good End". Do you mean that they don't die, or that by the end of the series they fulfill their goals or have some sort of personal accomplishment or are content?
I won't tell you anyway. If you think R1 was a twist... woahoo, are you in for something.

Also, TOONYMAN. I SEE YOUR AVATAR THERE, AND THE CAPTIONED TEXT, WHICH IS A NICE TOUCH. I DEEM YOU THE BARON OF AWESOME. I would have named you Duke or something, but... you know. There can be only one.

Finished R1, blazed through episodes 22-25.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Holy shit, holy fucking shit. Euphie got shot and owned (I'd like to see a Gendowned clip of that), Nina went insane, Vilette got her memory back AND SHOT OHGI, Lulu and Suzu (derp derp stupid fucking nickname), SHIRLEY KNOWS ABOUT ZERO/LELOUCH, ORANGE BOY IS ALIVE, SHIT WENT DOWN, Inoue is dead, who the hell is that little blonde fucker with the long hair, Nunally was kidnapped, shit happened, C-2 kissed Lulu, Kallen got a Heroic BSOD and then so much stuff happened I want to see more really

Wait for it... Wait for it...

When I finish R1 of Code Geass, I'll take a break to watch something else again, maybe some Lucky Star.

HERESY. AFTER YOU FINISH R1 YOU WILL FEEL COMPELLED TO WATCH AND FINISH R2. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATION HERE. IT WILL HAPPEN.

I TOLD YOU SO.
All that I speak shall come to pass.

Also, watched the third episode of Durarara. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. WHAT GENRE ARE YOU!? WAI U MYTHOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ANGST SLICE OF LIFE!?

Ugh, I wish I could watch anime online, but I'll have to wait a month or so for that. Then I'd catch up on some of the other series (and manga) and be able to watch this at a pace that's not horribly puzzling. =/

I was really surprised at the most recent Bleach episode that aired on Adult Swim. I only watch it because Adult Swim is the only way I get my anime fix and they open it up with Bleach (and sometimes they have decent episodes). There's no real reason to watch it since I'm aware of what's going on in the manga, but it's something to have on TV. I didn't think they could make the series any less enjoyable, though. They taught me a lesson I won't soon forget.

So why are there a ton of different links all to 0 A.D. for games that aren't 0 A.D.?
