Well I'm no wampire expert, but y'know, noblesse oblige.
Also, interbreeding in order to maintain "purity of blood" is a well known phenomenon in aristocracy and royalty. As vampires, they have better reason for keeping their blood pure (blood = control = power) than, say, the British Royal Family. If they're not producing downs babies, what's the harm in a little incest?

Thank you! I'm enjoying Planetes immensely btw.
*sees aunt tits list*
This thread. This fucking thread.
it's cool. It's anime so she's totally into it but just too shy to say anything!
Might as well pre-emptively put me on the list, I feel it's only a matter of time. D:
Damn this thread is a bad influence.
Anyone have any recommendations on mature complete intellectually stimulating (preferably science fiction, uncensored and unflipped) manga?
As a side... is Bleach worth checking out? I really liked the first couple of story arcs for the anime, but never gave the manga a chance.

Have you read Planetes?
Also if you don't mind post some examples of what you consider mature manga so I can know where you coming from

Well if you already checked out the anime, might as well finish with it as it is a great adaptation of the source. I honestly didnt find much interest in actually reading the first bleach arc soul society, in the manga (art is pretty not good at that point in time, Ichigo...), but from the arc after soul society volume 22, I still watched and followed the manga. I think its worth checking out but one will probably finish all of the manga in just three days since its a fast read. Really the anime does a good job.

Knights of Sidonia, although I dont know if it is intelectually stimulating.
Mobile Suit Gundam MSV-R: Johnny Ridden no Kikan, its premise is about investigating the war and its machines , the protagonist is a mature one.
Continue with the anime. It's good. Even though I like Bleach in manga form (it's a quick/easy read), the anime adaptation is better for consumption. Just be sure to avoid all filler.
Thanks!
No, but I've watched the first couple of episodes of the anime. It's interesting, but I was hoping for something with a more complete story arc - like the entire story was planned from the beginning. Both Ghost in the Shell and Nausicaa are mature (even though they are very different). So not specifically seinen.... I guess I'm looking for something that's thought provoking... Manga for a Radiohead fan if you know what I mean.
hmmmm I may just have to check it out. I read some of the manga back in the day when Shonen Jump (US) was publishing it. I didn't think the art was too bad personally. Three days is pretty good too - I'm looking for quick reads.

Sounds good... when I was younger I preferred martial arts manga, but I've had an itching for technology stuff for a while.
I'm guessing by complete story arc you mean something that isn't episodic? Cause Planetes does start having a long story arc instead of just weekly adventures.
Also take a look at Pluto if you haven't. It's pretty good too.
*Shakes his head* We're still talking about this?
Especially survivor. I don't know how can you read something so abominable, then have the gal to rag on stuff like Naruto and Bleach. When you endorse that, I think its safe to say your argument from now on is invalid.
I think there is a big difference between what I read and what I consider good.
And for what it's worth, no, Aunt Tits isn't a good manga. It just has a ridiculous concept and I want to see how far they can go along with it without getting boring.

I see no one answered my question 
I was kinda hoping that we fall under the same category of TV-GAF but who knows. Now that sportsgaf got moved, no one is safe.
What question?I see no one answered my question
Hopefully never because that'd be the cherry on sportsgaf's saltcake.

oh boy what would Wednesdays be like?
yeah that's what I mean. I want something that reads like a novel. I'll give Planetes another go. It seemed like a cool premise, but was moving just a little slow. I just watched Eve no Jikan which was really fantastic. I like manga/anime that questions what it means to exist, and Japanese storytellers do that fantastically.
Well there isn't much other reason to read it.
Then read Pluto now. It's pretty much Eve no Jikan but told as a classic detective story.
There is also The Music of Marie but I take it you are only looking for licensed material?

The world´s largest camel toe. Damn you Dresden.
Dammit, i was thinking about the same thing, especially with these kind of discussions.

Perfect! I've been feeling detective stories lately too... I'll read this next. I don't care really if it's licensed or not - just as long as it's good.
