    Lets see...You listed a lot of the ones I like, but here are a few you may or may not have seen... Pandora Hearts (Ongoing) I love it because it's dark, deep and twisted with fun little slices of humor and horror thrown in strategically. It's an interesting dark twist on Alice in Wonderland about a boy named Oz Bezarius who is sentenced to be sent to the Abyss (another dimension which is like a broken down toy box where the toys try to eat you) on his 15th birthday for the crime of existing. In the Abyss he meets a 'chain' in the form of a young girl named Alice and they escape to the real world by making a contract with each other. When they return to Oz's world, however, 10 years have passed and they must now work for a mysterious company called Pandora to regain Alice's lost memories and find out why Oz was condemned in the first place. http://myanimelist.net/anime/5530/Pandora_Hearts Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East) I enjoyed this one because it was the first 11 episode series that really kept me wanting more every episode and at the same time I felt that it ended properly. It's about a guy named Takizawa Akira who wakes up in Washington DC with no memory of who he is holding only a handgun and a mysterious phone that can grant it's masters every wish. http://myanimelist.net/anime/5630/Higashi_no_Eden Junjou Romantica It's a yaoi, and the manga is better than the anime, but I really enjoyed it. It follows three couples and how they meet and fall in love. http://myanimelist.net/anime/3092/Junjo_Romantica Monochrome Factor I just started it and it's...okay. Not my favorite by far, but I watched it because I was bored and it was a shonen ai with a cute lead character. I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as Loveless, 07 Ghost or Nabari, but if you get -really- bored it might be worth watching. It's a shonen ai about a kid named Akira who meets a man named Shirogane who tells him that they're supposed to be together. Akira doesn't believe him until he is forced to become a 'shin' or creature of the shadow world. http://myanimelist.net/anime/3656/Monochrome_Factor Bleh...normally I'm a plethera of information, but my brain is dead at the moment. I'll edit in some more when I think of them. ^.~ You already listed most of my faves. You should get a MAL account so you can show off what you've seen, then maybe I'll know what to put down! ^_^ http://www.myanimelist.net Honestly? I can't get into Naruto or Shugo Chara... I keep telling myself they'll be awesome but I can't ever find the effort to watch them and after an episode or two I give up. I don't like animes that repeat themselves over and over again (like the same typical fight scene) and I don't like ones where you don't feel anything for the characters. My ideal anime is usually of the darker genre with some humor, lots of mysterious characters, and a plot that roots way deeper than what's on the surface.

Ahh, anime :] I don't watch much, but here are some of my favorites: Cowboy Bebop: There are plenty of sites that argue that this is the best anime ever, and I have to agree. It's a perfect blend of adventure, comedy, romance, drama, action.. set to some of the best composed music ever (Yoko Kanno!) IMO. At first I thought the sci-fi genre would be a turn-off 'cause I'm not a fan of mecha anime, but looking back on it I don't even consider this sci-fi before drama, action, etc. The storyline and characters are extremely believable and engaging; anyway this show is beautiful and all anime fans should watch it :D Yu Yu Hakusho: This is an oldieee but if you like shonen then you'll probably love this series. It's just so much fun to watch, and you can tell how this anime has influenced the shonen genre since its release. Gravitation: 'Cause I see that you like shonen ai :P I greatly preferred the manga series over the anime, but it's a cute show anyway. Samurai Champloo: From the creators of Cowboy Bebop, this is also an awesome series with the whole drama/adventure/action/comedy/music thing going on. I especially liked all three of the main characters in this show, and main characters usually irritate me 'cause they tend to be these do good cocky kids who eventually persevere through irrelevant plot twists.. (*cough*naruto) DISLIKE: DNAngel: Too fanservicey?

Well I HATE Naruto! Thank you! I hate it because it is a rip-off of my favorite anime Hunter x Hunter. I love Hunter x Hunter! Its a funny but serious anime that is nicely not circled around cheesy romances... actually the 4 main characters are guys. Hunter x Hunter is full of adventure and surprises. It starts out light then gets darker as we sink into some deep emotions and revenge on those blood lusting bastards. :) Also I think Kurapika is hot, I love him!

OK I personally liked K-On ALOT. it focuses alot on girls, but its extremely funny (to me at least -.-). Another Series i like is the Fullmetal Alchemist. They have a new remake version of it to follow the manga instead of straying off. I thought this anime is pretty good in terms of action. And it sometimes adds comedy. I really gave up on Bleach and Naruto because now its just retarded. (Dragged on 4ever and cant imagine the end, WAY 2 much fillers, and it is extremely obvious now -.-) Soul Eater was good until they messed up the ending -.- Code Geass was awesome except that people cant seem to get over it . . . . Anyway have fun watching anime cause i know i will

I hope you aren't wanting me to give you anime porn links. That would just be plain weird.

I love Katekyo Hitman Reborn it has fighting parts but they're totally awesome no gore or anything and the main character is like wimpy in the beginning but he starts training and gets stronger but still has the same personality and I just love those kinds of anime/manga One I don't really like it Fooly Cooly I just don't get it never got past the first episode it was too confusing

Romeo X Juliet is a stunner, as is Buso Renken As always, Mahoromatic

LIKE: Dennou Coil - It's starts off in the first episode kinda childish sounding because they are catching virtual pets but it evolves into a very mysterious story. It gets very dark towards the middle with some comdey, drama, a I wouldn't say horror but maybe dark I guess. Very Worth checking out. And that's saying a lot because I've seen a good amount of anime and this ranks in my top 5. The main characters are two girls but it's not really focused on them as sexual or anything because they are a bunch of kids...at least thats what I think what you meant by not having the focus on women. DISLIKE Elfen Lied: Apparently this anime is claimed to be very good but I really didn't like it because I didn't like the story and there was a lot of pointless nudity, and honestly that is not why I watch anime. And really really gorey

FAVORITES : cowboy bebop: very artsy in its own way, i use to watch it when i was younger. yu yu hakusho: also watched when i was younger, loved the action sequences and for its time its originality, its from the 80s so it has aged quite a bit but was amazing for its time. if you watch this i sugguest you watch the dark tournament episodes and stop there. the rest is pretty much a repeat of those episodes unless you really want to like i did :P angelic lair: very girly, the most girly anime ive watched but im an action whore so i had to watch it. Has some really over rated themes but its addicting somehow? lol golden boy: hilarious, thats the only way i can describe it. I dont know if its funny beacuse i went through the same stuff as a kid or just because of its genunity but if your older then you should find it rather humerous DISLIKES onepiece: horiable horiable horiable. bad art annoying voice overs very immature action sequence BAD. the american naruto voice over. yeah its so bad im willing to say that the entire american series isnt worth watching. However the japanese subed version is quite good ^.^ inuyasha: watched it and watched it and watched it... it never ******* ended O.o

Ooh, since you like some comedy.... Bobobo-bobo-bobo is one hilarious anime. It had me laughing so hard my folks thought I went crazy lol. Another one that I've heard was good was Lucky Star... my friend said its a funny, slice-of-life anime. Some I don't like are Naruto, because i'm not that into that style too much. Plus, its over-rated in my humble opinion. Hope this helps!
