Please recommend something new...
Well, I actually managed to use up my to-be-watched stack of anime. So, please recommend something new for me! Preferably something new and still being fansubbed, since if it's available for sale in English I've probably looked at it already.
I would prefer to avoid horror, tragedy, gore, cliche foozle quests, and animes where every single character is a moron. I love SMART characters, good science fiction or fantasy world building, school/military stories, romance, comedy, beautiful art, high writing quality, and bishounen.
Here's my list of anime I've already seen (a few OVAs missing, but this is almost everything):

I didn't see Last Exile any where in there. HOwever it was a fairly substantia list so I may have been mistaken. If you haven't seen it on the other hand I would recommend it quite highly to you, especially since you did mention you like fantasy. I would suggest Hellsing, but you did mention no horror, sure it has vampires and ghouls and what not but it isn't really suspense horror. Also be on the look out for Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, Rurouni Kenshin and Scrapped Princess.

Lol. That list divided over the 7 years it took me to watch it is not that much. If there's anything I should quit doing in favor of sunshine it's posting in internet forums like this, I spent way more tome doing that then watching anime.bum wrote:If you've seen that much anime then I would recomend sunshine. Its good for the skin and the spirit.

Just noticed you haven't watched Rurouni Kenshin. You really need to get some new anime dude! If your gonna do anything with manga, the first one you must pick up is Love Hina. I've gotten so many people into that manga I lost count. Shoot, half of my books aren't here cause some people are still borrowing them. My recommendation is high for those two, just look at my user name.
Rurouni - from Rurouni Kenshin, my used to be favorite anime.
Keitaro - Main character in Love Hina, my favorite manga.
Great Teacher Onizuka is currrently my favorite anime, but you saw that already.

Even though it falls under two of the "avoid" categories (Horror, KIND OF, and tragedy) I *HIGHLY* recommend Lunar Legend Tsukihime. It also fits well under school/romance.
Betterman, also. Nice comedy/sci fi/romance/drama/horror mix. You said you'd LIKE to avoid them, but you said nothing about not recommending them.

Re: Please recommend something new...
With these elements in mind, while I realize this could head in either direction to recommend (cause this series gets pretty grim) I'm gonna suggest 'Now and Then, Here and There'sunandshadow wrote:I love SMART characters, good science fiction or fantasy world building, school/military stories,
Depressing stuff, yes...but still worth the viewing.

I have a bookcase full of manga. My favorites at the moment are W Juliet, Tramps Like Us, and any yaoi I can get my hands on.Rurounikeitaro wrote:If your gonna do anything with manga, the first one you must pick up is Love Hina.
