Character Development and plot >> Fight scenes. Scrapped Princess owns in this category.

Hmm.... thread hijack in progress, must get back on track.

Ah, another series to try that I recommend solely on Character development and plot, because that's what this anime does best: Kodomo no Omocha. Sure, it's shojo. But Shojo tends to beat out Shonen in terms of plot any day. Besides, it's simple, classic humor is often refreshing from all this newfangled anime.
