Yup, you got me into GetBackers, and I'm getting into the FF.

I'd shake my fist at you, but, well, I like Ban and Ginji too much. (And Akabane. I have an insane love for Akabane, which probably makes me a bad person. I accept this, for I cannot change it.)
The characters are just so wonderfully *dorky.* They're hard to resist.
Also, I have to thank you - the manga got me through an unfortunate period of having to lie flat on my back for long periods of time, so, really, you could not have pimped GB to me at a more auspicious time.
If you haven't checked out the anime, I'd give that a go, as well. It's only twenty-six episodes, and the art is prettier than the manga. I love the manga, but it's so very. . . *comic book,* especially with the dialoge.
louiselux is responsible for my interest in Saiyuki. Wither she goeth, there go I, although in this case it's taken me some time to get there.
She's well worth following. When I first read the manga, I was desperate for good fic. After finding louiselux, I realized that my search was over: I had only to stake out her lj, and I was set.
I'm skeeeeeeeered. The canons look hard!
Bleach is a bit more difficult than Naruto, I think. Naruto integrates new characters better than does Bleach, and--IMHO--has names that are far easier to recall. I'd recommend at least the first few volumes; if you get lost during the Soul Society arc, I'd consider dropping the series (I hear it only gets more confusing later on, with even *more* new characters, and less time spent on old favourites).
Do you like swords? If so, have a few fics about my favourite character and her (living) sword: http://bravecows.livejournal.com/151402.html http://thewritegirls.populli.net/afrai/shirayuki.html http://moonsheen.livejournal.com/57904.html http://community.livejournal.com/31_days/477546.html http://pushthesky.livejournal.com/21322.html http://tokyofish.livejournal.com/199205.html?style=mine http://community.livejournal.com/31_days/713679.html http://raynos.livejournal.com/24936.html
Rukia is my absolute favourite character. If you like her, I'd point you in bravecows direction. She writes an awesome Rukia (and Renji and Ichigo).
I really fell in love with Naruto during the Chuunin exam arc. You get a lot of new characters, and a lot of character development for old characters.
I avoid the fandom's big slash pairing because I'm feeling contrary, so I can't offer you any suggestions on that front.
Oh, god, I know nothing about this fandom, except that someone once linked to a YT vid for it, and it was the gayest thing ever.
That was probably me! Every now and then, I forget how gay BWoC is. And then I'm stunned all over again: good God, this is a kid's show? I love it so.
If you know of a non-YT source for eps (so I can watch in slothful comfort), I'd love to hear about it. Like, are there DVDs? *ponders*
There are no official DVDs. I got my DVDs from a fellow fan, although that was a one time deal. Really, unless you can find someone with copies of the episodes, the easiest way *is* YouTube.
