Very dark, gothic feel.

x2. Love that series (even though it requires multiple viewings for you to be able to get a lot of things), and the music's pretty darn good too... I recommend "Yuudachi" (opening theme), "Mirai Seiki Maruhi Club" (ending theme), "Torso", "Delirious", "Snow Coast", "Gataway", and "Pone".

Yami No Matsuei, again not in the traditional sense. More the creepy stalker sense.

If you want gothic manga, you absolutely have to read Gloomcookie Volume 1 & 2 and Courtney Crumrin Volume 1 & 2. They're american, but they're manga style and both excellent! ^_^

Witch Hunter Robin = cool!!!

But I never know why people say her trenchcoat is black...it's red, folks. I know this because I've been running around looking for a red trenchcoat since I saw hers. So far, no dice.

Recommend Yami no Matsuei , but Hellsing...great dub but like a lot of GONZO work, the visual style overpowers the content - good or bad depends on your own tastes for it.
