I've seen a few anime in my time, used to be a really big fan, this'd be my top 5 list:
1. Cowboy Bebop (You can't not love Cowboy Bebop.)
2. Fooley Cooley (Insanity at it's best.)
3. Ranma 1/2 (Haven't seen much of it though...)
4. Tie between Inuyasha and Trigun.
5. Rorouni Kenshin

I don't watch Cowboy Bebop. It dosn't appeal to me much.

Really... well... I suppose you can not love Bebop... ;D
What's Ragnarok about? I've heard of it, but haven't ever gotten any information on it. Anything to do with Norse mythology, perhaps?

Ragnarok has a lot to do with Norse mythology. It's about the fall of the gods, Ragnarok, and it if could be prevented then the gods could riegn abother 1000 years. Naturally, they want this. And it's really complicated to explain, but it is pretty funny, ahsd good fight scenes, and its had really cool characters. I love it. As I said, I think it's only manga, not anime right now. It could be put into an anime series, i have no idea, it could happen.
Ranma 1/2 is about a teen guy, Ranma, who when he gets splashed with cols water he turns into a girl, and his dad into a panda! So, this complicates thier lives, and Ranma gets engaged to a girl who hates all boys, and she get engagaed to him not of her own will, and she was the one rather than her two sisters since they say he's only half guy, so would be a good couple for her, and she repied he was a coupel in himself. It's a big comedy with martial arts mixed in. I like it a lot, buitr I have to read it in secret, my mom wouldn't let me get it, and I did anyways....so I have to be careful.

Well, I only read 4 series:
Rurouni Kenshin
Inu-Yasha
Ranma 1/2
Ragnarok
The manga is a lot like the series, but with Kenshin, I love the manga, I think it's so much better, in just the way they words stuff, and Kenshin isn't suppossed to be running around saying "i" since he ish refering to the hitokiri nature within himself, as opposed to "this one" or "rurouni" which means he is supressing the hitokiri nature within himself.
And I hope I didn't lose you guys, I have all that from 2 volumes, I wonder what'll happen when I get the rest ^.^

Since Red seems to know quite a bit, I go out on a limb and ask a question. This is a question from a person who's only experience with anime or anything like that is YuGiOh.
What's the difference between anime and manga?

OMG I LOVE YUGIOH!
Don't feel embarrased or ashemed or anything like that if you do. It took me a long time. You don't want to know my theorys=P
Anime- the show. It's a cartoon, and I;m sure you all know that. end of story here.
Manga- the comic for the anime. Kinda like Superman or whatever. Ecxept the manga books I have tend to be a lot longer than the usual comic book. About 180, 200, or one is 300 pages that i have.
Does that clear that up for you?

I once looked at a manga, but it was hard to read, I couldn't figure out the direction to read. Is it from left to right or top to bottom or what? I just had a hard time initially, but I think it's something I could get into later when I have a weekend to burn at Borders.

Um.... it depends on the series, really.
Kenshin is read from right to left, but all my other series, Inu-Yasha, Ragnarok, and Ranma 1/2 are how you would read a normal comic book
Now, it'll ussualy tell you. And it helps if you read them a coupel times through. I'm reading Kenshin for the 50th time, and finding out something new. The battle secenes aren't the clearest in that manga, but they sure do look cool.
Now ,if you wanna know is manga or anime better, I say it depends on the series.
I like Kenshin manga better, they just word stuff better, and I think Kenshin looks better in the manga.
But Ilike the Inu-Yasha anime better, since the colors make the whole thing, and stuff like that.
If you want more info on hoe to read it from roght to left, go fing a rurouni kenshin manga book, and open what looks to be the back, since the discritpiotn in one there. It explains everything.
And it;s really hard to explain how to read a comic book, but it's not ahrd to pick up, it's just what way it goes that'll get ya.
