No, just comics in general...
And as far as FF and thier recent storylines, I like it... that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
I guess you could add Sentinel to my list seeing as how they're apparently cancelling it.

Anyone have any recommendations for a comic that might normally get looked over but you consider absolutely great?
Lately I find a lot of people turning their nose up at The Fantastic Four yet everytime I tell those people about what's happening they think it's cool. Of course, those people still won't touch it... not yet anyways.
Any others you'd recommend?

As for my absolute most hated anime, this is easy. Legend of the Galactic Heros
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

One very important thing to remember is that most of the stuff you'll see on the TV here in North America is a highly butcherized version of what it was originally shown like in Japan.
Take Cardcaptors for example... They cut the first 8 or so episodes, turn that guy into the main character and then switch the order around.
I'm not saying these shows are gems... just don't judge them based on what you see on TV, chances are the original version is better.
Also, the Japanese do have great conclusions to their stories, they just don't feel obligated to the nice and covinient package of a half hour time slot like the Americans do.
It's just different styles that's all.

And last, but not least... well yes, the least actually: Bakuretsu Hunters. I would slightly disagree... Bakuretsu Hunters is great fun and a great series to watch. If your looking for something serious, I'd agree that maybe you should go for Record of Lodoss instead. However, Bakuretsu does have it's share of action, comedy and romance all in one convinient package. I'd highly recommend it.

Here's my favorite. It's called "13(th) Month Revolution" from El Hazard. You've really got to hear it to appreciate it, it's got a sweet guitar bit in it.
For over one-hundred billion long nights in the wasteland I'll look for the paradise hidden deep within your eyes Love is the final magic at the disposal of everyone The moment even the sadness that freezes your heart can be melted by the slightest fever That's the time to take off I'm flying to your love
Within the steel walls, I find what may be the curtain which hides the door This place is a city of illusion What is most important in to be afraid
To be in love For real! Come the 13th month you'll see To be in color Surreal! A world without tears will be born!
Cut through the wind of time warped by lies Embrace the brightness within you and your indelible pain and fly Dreams are invisible wings on the backs of everyone Once you have spread your heart across to the ends of this dimension Into a parallel future That's the time to jump in I'm flying to your love!
I took the lyrics from a site, so they may not be 100% accurate.

Perfect Blue is a real mind-trip as well as Serial Experiments Lain (just don't watch them back-to-back...).
Master Mosquiton and Vampire Princess Miyu (OAV) are great occult-type series.
As The Black Robed one said Saber Marionette J and Bubblegum Crisis are fantastic!
It's not anime, but Jackie Chan Adventures is pretty sweet too.
My absolute favorite? The original OAV of El Hazard is tied with the TV series Irresponsible Captain Tyler!!!

Okay, I've gone and gotten a PhotoBucket account and have changed all my links and stuff to go through there... I even checked and they allow direct linking. SO if this doesn't work then I give up. Fudge it.
The weirdest part is that the whole time, everything looks and works normally on my end so I can't tell the problem is there... T_T

Greetings, Balamung... of the Azure Sky?! How strange! And I have always thought that you were Balamung the Celestial... Or is it my mistake? Or wrong translation? Ah, no matter! Probably a translational thing. I've only played the NA version of .hack for PS2 and have yet to see .hack//sign. In the game and the Liminality dics that come with it they refer to the Azure Sky instead of Celestial... Wouldn't be the first time the Americans made a stupid change like that... Anyways, many thanks for all the kind greetings I have recieved.
