Hi all,

     I'm new on this mailing list and also am new at collecting anime, I
follow Orange Road with my friend but am looking into others.  Oh My 
Goddess! Interests me and I'm going to start collecting it.  As for my 
question, I was wondering where to start, Anime or Manga?  I can get all the 
OVA's or I can get all the Dark Horse Manga.  Also I'm Interested in the 
japanise Manga but don't know where to get it.  Can any one help me out?

        As far as Japanese Manga goes, unless your local 
comic book store special orders them, they are somewhat hard 
to acquire.  Usually I get my manga from Kinokuniya 
Bookstore in Seattle, Wa. (when I'm in the area) or order 
them via the internet from Sasuga Japanese Bookstore 
( http:/www.terra.net/sasuga ).  Please note that these 
comics / manga are in the original Japanese and are not the 
English translations by Dark Horse Comics (for 'Oh! My 
Goddess' - 'Ah! Megami-sama' )

< by the way, please forgive the commerical plugs >

        As far as anime, its a matter of taste and choice.  
Depending upon what series you wish to follow will probably 
dictate what anime you'll watch.  More important is where to 
locate the anime in question.  For more popular anime, like 
Ranma 1/2, Bubblegum Crisis, Your Under Arrest, Oh! My 
Goddess and so on..  the video chainstore are starting to 
stock these items rather well (i.e. Suncoast Video, 
MediaPlay)

        I hope this helps you.
