woot? whats wrong with love hina? I enjoyed it.
buts its more funny than romantic (while true tears is only romantic and actually not even a bit funny) I'll never forget the bus-chasing scene "you lost your ID-card"
even love hina again! was pretty decent, because the roles changed ^^
hmmm does School Rumble fit in the "romantic/comedy" genre? Its funny as hell but its not really "romantic" is it? even though I want to know who gets who in the end

Romantic comedy, here are a couple:
Suzuka
Kimagure Orange Road
Shuffle!!
School Rumble
DearS
Chobits
Aishiteruze Baby
Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances)
Marmalade Boy
Boys Over Flowers
Thanks! I already watched most of your suggestions except Kimagure Orange Road and Marmalade Boy. Love Hina is alright but it seems its more comedy than romantic. Boys over Flowers I enjoy more in manga than in anime. Maybe its being slow-paced is putting me off, but its still a great love story more than anything (Actually I watched the live-action first).
The main issue with Love Hina is that it is a terrible adaptation of the manga, and beyond that it is just a harem rehash of Yume de Aetara and Maison Ikkoku. I loved Love Hina back then, but after I read the two series it largely ripped off, the anime version fell out of my favor.
Romance and Romantic Comedies:
(I'll second several of Munsu's suggestions)
More towards the serious/realistic titles:
(closer in tune to what you initially suggested you were after)
ef - a tale of memories
Good Witch of the West
Aishiteruze Baby
Honey and Clover
Honey and Clover II
Paradise Kiss
NANA
REC
Kare Kano
Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers)
Asatte no Houkou
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
The middleground:
Kimagure Orange Road
Ai Yori Aoshi
Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~ (sequel)
Shuffle!
The less serious, more comedy focused series:
Seto no Hanayome
Ouran High School Host Club
Midori no Hibi
Futakoi (or Futakoi Alternative, which is more focused, but one strange series)
Final Approach
Rizelmine
Karin
Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru (Otoboku)
Tsukiyomi Moonphase
Okusama wa Joshi Kousei (bad, but I list it anyway)
I'm done with hunter x hunter, it was awesome
K this one was quite good, got anything else like this? Is Shaman King like HxH ? It would help if it was relatively new but if it's not that's ok too.

Watched the 3 sets of OVAs for HxH right? We don't know when the rest of the manga will be animated. Speculation is that it will be when the current arc finishes, but the arc is slowly progressing mainly because of the health of the author.Originally Posted by The Archangel

Inuyasha is one of the few animes that is actually playing in my country and i've already seen all of FMA. Could you tell me out of all of those which one is the most recent please Munsu?
Soul Eater, it's currently coming out.
www.anidb.net is your friend.
I have watched all the anime I have and am looking for something else to watch was wondering if anyone knows of any horror anime I have never seen or heard of any and would like to watch one
Plenty exist, but the level of horror is debatable:
Jigoku Shoujo
Jigoku Shoujo Futakamori
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai
Pumpkin Scissors (not strictly a horror, but has many horror elements)
School Days
Hellsing Ultimate (or the inferior Hellsing TV anime from 2001)
Alien 9 (deceptively so)
Ergo Proxy
Elfen Lied
Gungrave (latter half)
Ghost Hunt
Kite Liberator
Le Chevalier D`Eon
Monster
Perfect Blue
EDIT: mentioned Ghost Hunt twice, heh.

I'm honestly not sure if you can consider Ergo Proxy a horror.
And lol @ School Days, =P
There's also 100 Stories (Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari). It was a pretty nice horror series.
Well I don't know much about what to consider horror and what not, but you could check out these:
Boogiepop Phantom
Gantz
Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror
Mononoke
Tokko
Blood+
Devilman Lady
Gilgamesh
Blue Gender
Hakaba Kitarou
Interlude
Kemonozume
Kikoushi Enma
Guyver
Mermaid's Forest
Petshop of Horrors
Red Garden
Sci-Fi Harry
Zaion: I Wish You Were Here
Night Head Genesis
Project ARMS
Not exactly horror but if you're looking for complex plot and difficult characters you should try Death Note
Ghost Hound for horror.
Peace.
I second Suzuka. Watch the anime, then read the manga. Because after watching the anime, you sort of get an idea when the songs are suppose to play and how the character's sound like in your head. Which makes it better. At least imo.
looking for anime name and recommendation.
My friend has started watching this anime, but since she ain't a big anime-fan (thank goodness for that), she doesn't exactly know what's it's called and how to pronounce it.
anyways, she says that the anime has two girls (one uber rich with black hair, second cute with blond hair) that are going through a girl-X-girl pace, and then all of a sudden, hell breaks loose and some monster robots are unleashed upon earth.
at which time some godly woman casts a divine spell and turns the blond girl into the embodient of good and creation, and the rich girl into the barrer of all evil powers in the universe.
then, of course, there's this guy who loves this girl, but is also a giant hellish robot destined to kill her, and the girl (one of them, not sure which) moves in with the other girl (who is, as far as I understood, the anti-christ of her).
that's all I could get from her, does it strike anyone as familiar? she said that it's call mayuri (or Miyuki?), as both of the girls go by that name.
Heavy implications of yuri, one black haired, one blond, and mecha?
It can only be Kannazuki no Miko
But that kind of plot device (one girl embodies evil, one heaven) is pretty common in shoujo series, believe it or not, so it might be something else.
I don't know for sure, I could never get into Kannazuki no Miko.
Everything, except for Chikane, some parts of the plot and the ending, sucks for Kannazuki no Miko, but I still love it nonetheless. One of the best endings IMO.
Peace.
Lately I've been racking my brain for something to watch. To be honest, I don't want to have a type of genre in mind, but I just want to watch something good. The current season's anime besides Macross/Geass/Toshokan Sensou and Soul Eater have been dismal.
Just watched Starship Troopers/Mars Daybreak, and they were good time wasters for a bit, but nothing that really compelled me as say when I started watching HxH. So yeah, to keep it short I just I'm looking for anime that I might've overlooked that is just flat out good, since I do have a sized library of what I've watched already. I know that sounds vague but I'm in a slump and need help!
