Hmm, that's a good question. I honestly haven't seen that many anime or read that much manga, really. I certainly haven't come nearly close to having seen everything out there.

If it's manga you'd like, I'd recommend Vinland Saga. It's pretty much shounen, I think, because it's based on Vikings in the tenth century AD, and there's lots of fighting and such...but some really priceless characters. The other manga I'd recomment is Kimi Wa Petto (You Are My Pet, also known as Tramps Like Us), which is completely opposite Vinland Saga. KWP is about a woman who ....for lack of a better term, "adopts" a young man, as a pet. :D (There's also a fantastic live-action J-drama version, which I adore.)

In terms of anime, I strongly recommend Witch Hunter Robin. It's the anime that got me "back" into anime about six years ago, after a long, long hiatus. It's slow-moving and character-driven, but if you like the occult it might be up your alley.

Then there's other ones that I've seen only parts of -- Wolf's Rain, Ergo Proxy -- that some people have given really high reviews, but I can only attest to having watched a little of them. The artwork in both of those series is really beautiful, though, and Ergo Proxy is kind of a bleak dystopian world scenario, so they're definitely worth checking out.

I loved Death Note. Unfortunately my love of it ended about halfway through the series. But the characterization and the clever plot were worth watching it, for me.

Others that I've seen that are definitely worth mentioning (but are rather old anime series) are:

• Trigun


• Neon Genesis Evangelion (mind you, the end of this series will fuck with your mind though -- but in a good way.)


• Blue Seed


• Card Captor Sakura (the Japanese version, not "Cardcaptors". it's adorable.)


• Escaflowne

I wish I had more suggestions for you, but as I said I haven't really seen that many series. But I hope this at least gives you a few good ideas! ^^

Given your list of anime may I recomend Vampire Knight. I just got into this and it has stangely hijacked my libido. Full Metal Alchemist is yummy. I would also recomend Black Lagoon for it's likeness to Cowboy Bebop awesomeness.

I loved WHR but the skimpyness of A/R kills me. The part where he puts the note in her hair gets me flushed everytime. There really isn't enough porn with those two.

I love your work and enjoy reading your musings.

Ok here's a question which do you prefer Anita Blake Vampire Hunter or Twlight?

[misora.livejournal.com]

Yeah, A/R was very subtle...to the point that some fans were actually denying it. But you can't deny the hotness of that well scene, even as reticent as Amon usually is. That was a big step for him. And there's no denying that they went off together at the end of the series to make little super!witch-babies. :D

I tried watching the FMA anime, and...I just couldn't get into it. I've also seen parts of Cowboy Bebop, and while that was enjoyable, there wasn't enough emotional investment between characters to really grab me enough.

Thank you! I will try to get more works done very soon.

And as far as ABVH or Twilight....the lesser of the two evils, for me, would be Twilight. Because as much disdain as I have for that story, at least it's about innocent young love -- and hasn't degenerated into shoddy were/vamp porn, as is in the case of Anita Blake. That woman is a cockblocking Mary Sue if I've ever heard of one. :/
