Out of anime, need recommendations again

I would prefer a romantic anime with a science fiction, fantasy, historical, military, or school setting. Yaoi romance is even better than straight romance. My favorite shows are romantic comedy with a bit of angst but a happy ending to the series. I would love recommendations for shows that have just been or are currently being fansubbed - if it's been out for more than 3 years I've probably already heard of it and either watched it or decided not to watch it.

Here's the list of what I've already watched:

Neon Genesis Evangelion has main characters die and a tragic ending, doesn't it? I've been avoiding it because it seems like it would be depressing.

Not really more than some of the titles already on your list. Except with a higher brainfuck factor. Plus it's a shame to not know the classic.

Speaking of brainfuck, try Serial Experiments Lain.

Did you watch Wolf's Rain OAVs (eps 27-30, if you wish), by the way?

I never said I liked all the anime on my list, lol. That's a list of absolutely everything I've seen, including the total stinkers and so-sos as well as my favorites. I probably only liked about half of them. Some of my favorites are the yaoi ones, uninhabited planet survive, ranma 1/2, fushigi yuugi (although the second half of the series got unfortunately tragic), utena, i my me strawberry eggs, maze, akazukin chacha, haunted junction, magic users' club, irresponsible captain tylor, crest and battleflag of the stars, they were eleven, greengreen, ping pong club, and naruto.

And no I haven't seen the ova, I'll check that out thanks.

hmm, do you think it would be worth it to only watch the beginning of the Evangelion series? Is there a particular episode where it turns dark?

I don't think I can recommend ONLY watching the beginning. IMO, it starts to turn dark when they reveal the fourth child and they start delving deep into past events around episode 20+. The only real problem people have are with the final 2 episodes.

Anyways, I recommend Mahoromatic - Automatic Maiden and it's sequel Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful, R.O.D. (Read Or Die) OVA, and it's sequel R.O.D the TV.
