However, the guys are actually fully-fleshed out characters and the one girl character is very "whatever" to it all. xD So, although it is "female fan-service" in one sense? It's all very, very tongue-in-cheek.
Oh, and I also enjoyed Nabari? But it's kind of weird. It is extremely angsty. So if angst played seriously is not your cup of tea? Probably...don't bother... (unless you can find it funny)

(I know I could just wikipedia the plot synopsis but I prefer the views of the people around here. Also, thanks to everyone that chipped in!
samurai10 (post: 1481259) wrote:Hey guys, thanks for the recommendations.
Now I need something for me. XD
First of all, I want something that's got action! and adventure! (Romance is okay, especially since I regard it as extremely extremely funny, but if possible, no s*x**l content ^^/)
I've loved FMA: Brotherhood, Monster, Death Note, Soul Eater, and Scrapped Princess. I think Reborn! is really weird, and I don't wanna watch it any more. XD I'd prefer something with over 20 episodes if possible too. I don't like animes with less than that amount of episodes, because they're so short. I like Code Geass for the first half, but during the second half, I started growing bored. Shugo Chara was extremely cute, and I liked it, but it's not good enough to get on my top five favorite anime list. XD
Any suggestions would be quite welcome. Thanks in advance! ^_^

And he's drawn into the world of ninjas. You have different villages fighting over him and his power. Except they must also somehow blend into the modern world.[/spoiler]
It has comedy, a lot of action, a lot of drama, too. Some people think it has shounen-ai vibes but I never found it any stronger than Naruto and Sasuke's vibes, really.
I haven't seen Wallflower personally, but I have a friend who really liked it. Other stuff she really liked include Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Lagann, Ouran, and Haruhi for comparison, so I think her tastes are pretty good.Maokun (post: 1481329) wrote:Thanks. I think i'll give it a go, sounds derivative but I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.
Oh and I just remembered that in the library they also got this series "Wallflower". Thoughts on it?

Darth_Kirby (post: 1482018) wrote:Well, it can be a little suggestive at times. But it's almost always for comedy purposes. If you don't like the harem genre you might get very annoyed with it at times. But if the harem genre doesn't really annoy you than you'll be drawn in by it's deep fantasy story line and there are some genuinely romantic moments in the story that felt real enough to make this guy bust a tear or two.
There's also some violence, but nothing remotely serious/bad. If there is a death it's usually very clean or off screen.
AngelicTotoro (post: 1482025) wrote:I don't really mind harems, the only time i don't like them is when nothing is resolved. Kinda of like La corda d'oro...
I know one of the main topics of the show is magic and I don't really mind that... Except, there aren't any incantations or witchcraft, is there?

Darth_Kirby (post: 1482029) wrote:Well, there are plenty of incantations, but I don't remember anything dark about the incantations. The incantations are more, "say this and this happens!" The magic is everywhere in the show, but one of the main characters is somewhat of a scientist despite being a magic teacher. There's also the fact that the main character is from earth, so he knows and teaches a thing or two about technology in the story to the other characters. Again there's not really any magic in the show that's dark enough to raise concern. The only thing that may be dark at times about the magic is how the villains choose to abuse it, and even then it's a case of "the user is evil, not the tool."
AngelicTotoro (post: 1482102) wrote:Ah, I see. Thank you very much for your help!
I'll just watch the first couple of episodes and then decide if I'm interested or not.
Thanks again!

AngelicTotoro (post: 1482164) wrote:Okay, so one of my brothers suggested 'Library War' to me.
I looked at it and it really caught my interest.
So could someone please tell me the content of the show?
Oh, and if the ending is good.
Thanks ahead of time!
(I know I just asked a question, but I only heard about this show like an hour ago.)

Thats another one I've been looking at.
Mouse2010 (post: 1482694) wrote:Not that I need more anime on my to-be-watched list, but does anyone know if Library War is available legally in the US? Anything with "library" in the title sounds intriguing to a bibliophile, and I'd be willing to buy it if I could find it, but it doesn't seem to be distributed here.
jsav777 (post: 1482911) wrote:Wow fast reply, thanks a lot. Oh, one more thing. Do you know anything kind of like Clanaad or Negima, preferably dubbed. I really enjoyed both of those. Thanks!
