Baccano, Akagi and Black Lagoon all have organized crime related plots.

If you've got a strong stomach, you may also want to read Ichi the Killer.

Also, Benkei, that shit was so cash. Even if it is only one fucking Manga.

Benkei in New York is one of the finest manga ever written.

Oh definitly read Ichi the Killer, that manga's a real trip. I also second Gungrave.

I feel like re-reading it, because it's awesome.

I believe i would like to join

I don't see why not.

Why don't you tell us a bit about what kind of anime you like?

Baccano! has some mafia in it. Gokusen is mafia based, but the manga is better than the anime. Gungrave is definetly something you should look into. Balck Lagoon is also good, but deals more with mercenaries that work with many clients, some of them russian mafia. THat should be enough to tide you over.

I saw BL, and I thought it was pretty good, but if you watch the Japanese version of it, whenever Rock is translating sentences for Balalaika (or whatever her name is), she has a pretty bad accent, haha, but it was good.

Oh yeah, one more question, so I saw ep. 18 of Excel saga, and I now need to find out if the manga has translations, and if I can even buy it in California, haha.

So.... does Municipal Force Daitenzin have an english translation?

Uh, yeah, you've never been to a bookstore?

lol, Excel Saga is really common, even in Canadialand.

haha. No, i was talking about the manga that Rikdo Koshi or whatever his name is made before Excel S.

You weren't very clear, what with asking for Municipal Force Daitenzin in a seperate sentence.

Also no, there is no official English translation, it is doujinshi after all. Indepedently published Japanese comics never see mainstream English release.

There's most likely scanlations, though. Check /rs/.

Stop posting that same fucking picture for everything.

There is no doubt at least one other decent image for expressing exaggerated disgust over something silly on your hard drive.

I would like to watch/read anything anime,but have trouble getting my hands on any. Though i do prefer shonen, seinen,and mecha. Anyone know if there are any tv shows i could watch? (i have direct tv, so specific channels would be a big help)I already know about Big-O but would like to see something else

I also second Gungrave.

Watching of this series is a must. If anything play the games. The one thing though, how the first game ends and the anime ends leaves Overdoes in a WHOLE NEW dimension of 'out of place' and 'what the blue fuck? how is this possible?'

I know there is a manga of it out, I think by Dark Horse. But... nothing like being poor AMIRITE?

Why is it that Anime downloads slow down towards the end? Some 1,5% left, and ETA 5 hours. Damn.

Well, there's Fuse, I remember they showed Tenjou Tenge and Ergo Proxy for awhile. Sci-Fi channel shows Noein, Macross Plus, and several other animes that I don't recall. Gunslinger Girls, Speed Grapher, Samurai 7, and Witchblade air on IFC.

Odd, mine usually speed up drastically when they're nearing completion.

I only really use Veoh for my anime downloads, and that goes pretty consistently fast.

Yeah, I used to use Veoh and it runs quite nicely.

When all my internet is running terribly, I can at least count on Veoh to go at ~50kb/s.

I have the first season, and it's kinda meh. I like the antagonist though, Zagato was pretty cool and what's his face the lightning guy.

Oh god... Yes. Good times, good times.

I should re-watch it. If memory serves, it was pretty well-animated, and written a lot better than many similar series.

DEATH NOTE IS THE BEST ANIME!!!!!!

What a horrid post.

Not only do I not agree with you, you had to put it in all capitals, and include six exclamation marks.

In what circumstances do you need more than one exclamation mark?

When quoting verbatim?

Anyway, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei completed dowloading, I'm gonna watch the first few episodes as soon as I sort out my stuff.

Loudly and clear do you say
that death note is the best anime
Yet you shall find that I disagree
Nay, not just only me
But Mendou and Gendo, Kuro and Wang
Do not approve to your loudly yelled slang
I do not like rude ones in here
So lets kick this fellow out and then have a beer.
