Ghost Hunt -> a good cliff-hanger
Full Metal Alchemist -> of course

Peach Girl -> I <3 Kairi!

Let me know!;) Thanx!

Chibi Vampire Karin (I believe simply called "Karin") is a really sweet, hysterical, romantic comedy about an un-vampire. When she gets the urge to bite someone, if she doesn't satisfy that urge, her blood "increases" and explodes out of her nose (usually depicted with a storm of red flowers). I really love Karin it is also a manga and a novel series.

I also suggest checking out Hulu.com to test out some anime. It was on hulu that I watched the whole first season of School Rumble, which is sooo unique and cute and funny! It's more than a love triangle, it's a love pentagon. It's extremely silly.

Thank you for the suggestions! Yes hulu is great I frequent it often ;)

How was Peach Girl, by the way? I know it is a popular show and I think I might like it but.. I don't like shows where there is too much angst or love competition in a non-comedic way. How does the love play out? Well, not to spoil it! I guess how does it start rather? xD

My dead on favorite, is Pandora Hearts.
It refers to Alice in Wonderland, a lot.

BinkaKitty 10-11-2009 05:49 AM

you could try Tokyo Mew Mew. it's really cute. i haven't seen the whole anime, but i've read the whole manga.
and, if you like really cute stuff, i would suggest Chi's Sweet Home. i think it's like a little kids anime, and each episode is only 3 minutes long, but it's still great.

maidenroseheart 10-11-2009 06:38 PM

some that I either watched some of or all of and liked was:

Sailormoon :angel:
Vanguard :P
Samurai Champoo (misspelled I think) :roll:
Pretear (a favorite) :squee:

Sailormoon is really cool, but the last series of that collection is only found in Japanesse. I prefer the Japanesse versions because they are more passionate sounding. All's cool though :)

YamiSora 10-11-2009 07:24 PM

Right now I can only think of Skip beat.....it's kinda like Peach girl in a way that its also a shojo and has the same feel to it, but I think Skip beat is better! XDD

so yea, I DEFINETLY recommend Skip Beat! ^^

NightshadeNox 10-11-2009 07:55 PM

My favorites are Sailor Moon, Angel Sanctuary and X/1999. The manga's are really good and the animes are also good. For X/1999, you should watch the X TV series, it follows the manga more then the movie does.

Ally00 10-12-2009 11:44 PM

The ones i get addicted to are..... Naruto, 07-ghost and future diary! But i like Future diary the best :P

sunrain 10-12-2009 11:55 PM

My current favorite, and the one i watched most recently, is Le Chavelier D'Eon. It's really hard to find, but here is the link. The art is GORGEOUS, especially the backdrops. Plot is nicely complex, and it gets you to use your brain a little. In reality, nothing is unexpected if you have been paying really close attention. The twists that occur are therefore very logical. Also, it's based on actual historical events and people in France during the reign of King Louis XV. It's incredibly well done, and I highly recommend it. I watched all 24 episodes in one day. It's not very well known since it's not about "ninjas and Azian-power," lol.

Fushigi Yuugi - is pretty good

Yakitate!! Japan - is amazingly funny XD You might just die watching it because it's so hilarious.

Hikaru no Go - was really good too

Princess Tutu - by far my favorite anime. It's a ballet anime, but each episodes story line is really well thought out and it plays on mythology and fairytale

NiniTheNinja 10-13-2009 07:54 AM

Peach Girl; I agree. Kairi is the cutest guy ever. (:
Daphne in the Brilliant Blue; I just started it but it seems pretty cool.
Alice Academy; It was really cute and original.
Tsubasa Chronicles; I was obsessed with Cardcaptors Sakura. <3
Kaleido Star; It was so inspirational but a bit cheesy. xD
Primero Passo; All about music. (: So great.
There are others but it is so early I can barely think..

Paper Face Parade 10-13-2009 10:15 PM

Well, if you like vampires might I suggest Trinity Blood? In my opinion it's pretty good. A little gist: It takes place in the future after the Armageddon. Only a small portion of the world belongs to the human kind. The Methusela(sp?) Empire and the Darkland create the rest of the world. A Vatican priest Abel Nightroad, who is not just the bubbly person that people see, and Ester, a nun (who was originally a novice), are the two main characters with what also can be a third Tres Iqus, a surviving android of his model.
The anime, manga, and novels run separate story lines with some common factors and a common main points that you will see in all of them, but they are all very well done.

Darkestofsouls 10-14-2009 05:19 PM

07-Ghost, for sure, and Toradora! is also one of my new favorites.

pifflechan 10-18-2009 11:51 PM

I personally enjoy Pita-ten or Kamichama Karin They are both very cute ^_^

Rose Wind and Rain 10-22-2009 03:43 AM

Anime recommendations? I would have to say Yu Yu Hakusho for action and comedy, it is just a wonderful anime, great sarcasm and humor with a nice ass kicking in between. Sailor moon for your grasp on romance and kick ass girls. Fushigi Yuugi is reverse harem comedy set in the past, great concept. If Kingdom Hearts was an anime, I would definitive recommend it! It does have a manga though, you should go play the games and read the mangas.

InevitableDisaster 10-22-2009 02:55 PM

I loved Ouran High School Host Club, and still do.
That was the first series I ever owned.
I really like One Piece, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, and Soul Eater, but they're all action-y type anime.
If you're looking for more romantic type of anime, I can't really help you there.
Ouran High School Host Club was very unique because it was the only romantic like anime that I actually liked.

Luciana SinCross 10-22-2009 03:53 PM

Heh. Those anime are all pretty good. I loved Ouran High School Host Club.

I think I would recommend more of the H-anime.

KissXSis: Definately good if you are into the incest anime.
Kodomo no Jikan: Cute. Very cute for a lolicon anime.
My Wife is a High School Girl: Good plot. Lots of drama.


And if you're not into that, then I would recommend these:

Magipokkan
Mermaid Melody Pitchi Pitchi Pitch
Card Captor Sakura
K-On!
Pandora Hearts
Jungle de Ikou
UFO Princess Valkyrie

krishana 10-22-2009 11:00 PM

Bleach and Naruto ( the japanese versions ) are definitely THE best!!!

das_wolfen 10-22-2009 11:06 PM

I like Soul Eater, Naruto, Friuts Basket, Elfen Lied, Dragon Ball Z,Excel Saga, Slayers and Salior Moon.
I like these manga : Wolf Guy,Loveless, and Konkon.

Lady_Megami 10-23-2009 03:23 AM

I would say that I would recommend Elfin Lead if you like cute demon girl who kicks major butt..

along that line I would also HIGHLY recommend Shikabane Hime.

Somniloquy 10-23-2009 09:59 AM

If you can find Kodomo no Omocha (Kodocha) you might like...it's really long though, 102 episodes >.<...
You seem to have a similar taste in anime that I used to have before I started liking twisted things, and I absolutely loved that and I've been meaning to rewatch it! :3 It's sort of old though. It starts off hilarious but becomes deep with some moments that made me cry ;~;

& Lovely Complex is a cute and funny romance anime.

If you like there to be deep sad moments I really recommend Kanon and Air I think they are beautiful. Clannad too but after Kanon.

Also I recommend Hayate no Gotoku, funniest anime I saw in a while.

School Rumble, Negima, Rozen Maiden, Skip Beat ...

Oh also, if you watch dubs, disregard my whole post.

CrazyLady 10-24-2009 01:50 AM

Can i recomed a manga? Its not an anime but its really funny. Its called Sokora Refugees, or i would also try Half prince. Too descibe them in detail may be a bit much. Sokora refugees definatly has a rather unquie story plot to it and theres something funny on about every single page. Half prince is more drama, but still funny.

Kokihi 10-24-2009 06:09 AM

so you like Shojo?
well, I like Nana, Chobits, Tsubasa: Reservoir canonicals (pretty much anything from CLAMP)
Host Club, and Hana Kimi
