    What does everyone think about the more alternative forms of animes or mangas? I was firstly exposed to these genres through Black Jack, an alternative series about a doctor that reflects many societal issues.

    inb4 it's "anime" in plural as well, animes is incorrect and just sounds so unnatural

    Anyway, I've been into anime (actively) for good 6 years now and this is the first time I've came across this term "alternative". Please elaborate this term.

    But since you liked BJ I'd highly recommend you watch some Monster if you haven't.

    Fair enough, I see where you are getting at.

    'Alternative' in the sense that it is based off a non-mainstream concept or topic, or its target market is based upon that of a non-mainstream audience.

    Well then my fav. would probably have to be Ergo Proxy and Elfen Lied.. and Mushishi to top it off as my fav. anime in general. Texhnolyze was really good but I could never finish it for some reason most due to my laziness, been postponing it for a while now. These are some pretty "unique" titles I guess.

    Personally I think they can be pretty rough on a company's budget mostly because in most scenarios these are targeted towards certain audience. They can either impact you greatly or be just another underrated title that never made any sorta good profit.

    Probably the most 'popular' non-mainstream manga out there, and one of the best.
