hehe cool.

Well I haven't read the FMA manga but the anime was pretty good so I'm sure that manga is a good enough choice.

Berzerk was also pretty good. I read that about 2-3 years ago so my memories are alittle hazy but I remember it being a bit graphic. It was pretty good though.

Well I have two types of suggestions for you. Theres things I really enjoyed but a lot of that stuff is shoujo(or in other words, manga generally for girls). Then there are things you might like based on what you're already into. Things that you might like based on interest that I also enjoyed I'll put *s stars next to. lol

Some of my favorites...
MARS - an angtsy romance story, with alot of suspense. Its an opposites attract love story where the 2 said people help each other overcome their personal demons.

Fruits Basket - This is a cute and funny story. There's a family called the Sohma's and they have a curse. If someone of the opposite sex hugs them they transform into animals. So they have to avoid that and keep it a secret from normal people. But a few members of this family take in this girl named Tohru who was living in a tent on their property since her mom passed away and she became an orphan. So yeah she basically finds out about their secret and lives with them. Hilarity ensues.

Gunsmith Cats* - This is a gunslinging, car chasing, action series. It's one of my favorites. It's about these two women who run a gun shop but are also bounty hunters behind the scenes. There's a lot of good action here.

Nausicaa of the valley of the wind* - This is fantasy story set in a dying world. There's this forest of corruption that emits poisonous miasma so no one can live there and the forest is slowly expanding. The world is also at war, using the technology that remains from the past since they no longer have the ability to make advanced equipment. It's a great story and it's by miyazaki too!

I don't read manga as much as I used to so those are the big ones for now. I haven't been reading it much since school ended. I used to always read it in class rather then doing my work. lmao. Now that I'm at home a lot more often I can just play videogames or watch anime. Well good luck! Hope I helped a little.

... my brother would shurely beat me up for that!   lol

What is really nerdy? Excessive obsession over one thing (ex anime) which turns everyone else away and destroys your social life.

Other people use the word to describe someone who they think is smart and it agitates them.

So if anybody calls you nerdy for reading an anime book, they're just generalizing stereotypes, which is what breaks off certain items and subjects from the "acceptable" social world and feeds it to the nerds, making it exceptionally difficult to still be involved with that thing and not be vulnerable to prejudice. Thus, in order to stop this mad process of inspecting and rejecting, we should not care about the obsessions of uninvolved persons (in other words, don't stick your nose in other peoples' business).

In order to make this more clear, and to bring out the silliness of it all, what would happen if so called "nerds" became involved with football? What if they all suddenly started showing up at (North American) football games, and trying out for teams, and so on and so forth? With one or two, no doubt the jocks would tease and abuse them, but if they all started obsessing over football, would that not be grounds to abandon the sport? Yes it would, and anybody packing a pigskin would be socially ostracized.

Of course this wouldn't happen. It's an exaggeration. But isn't it logical, due to the previous patterns we've observed? Therefore, in a process which would result in your own undoing should you switch the variables correctly, to put it simply, you shouldn't be doing it. Unfortunately, however important my message might be, it will never be implemented like it should, and silly bias against items which are neutral themselves will continue on widespread.

Or I will eat my hat.

Were you talking about my post, If so its no big deal, this was a good friend and we tend to talk crap about each other all the time. When I showed it to him I was completely expecting that response. Plus I've learned not to really care what other people thought and do what I wanted a long time ago... and I've never really been given much crap from anyone other then close friends since then.
