Just thought I'd let everybody know, I've found a huge amount of manga on YouTube if anybody wants to watch this in Japanese.

The original series (I think) from the 1980s.

One day during the summer vacation, Kakeru saves a weakening blue pony on his way to visit his father. This creature is actually a mystery animal called a "thunder beast." It says, "Thank you, my name is Blink. Please call my name when you have a problem!" This is their encounter and the beginning of a big adventure for Kakeru.

3. The Three-Eyed One

Hosuke Sharaku is a survivor of a three-eyed tribe that once built an ancient civilization. He usually looks like an innocent child with a patch on his forehead, but once the patch comes off to reveal his third eye, he is transformed into a wild hero. This is an amazing adventure romance in which Sharaku challenges ancient mysteries with his psychic powers and ancient wisdom.

4. The Legend of Moby Dick

One day, a child named Lucky comes to Ahab, asking him to rescue Mohd, his home planet in danger. Ahab sets off to the planet to battle against "Moby Dick", the spaceship armed with planet-annihilating artilleries also known as"White Devil". Actually Moby Dick is Ahab's old enemy with deprived him of his leg and eye.

Gakuen Alice
Mikan chases Hotaru, and ends up at a place called "Alice Academy." But everyone she meets there seems to have some strange quirk... like Natsume, a boy who creates fire out of thin air, or Mr. Narumi, a teacher who can make people fall in love with him!

Most of these are pretty old, but I think it's good listening practice!
