Looking for more good Anime shows

[Ashanel]

Recently, I have just started to get heavily into anime. (This is due to my amazing fiance) xD Anyway... We are looking for shows that are like Demon King Daimao, Shuffle, Girls Bravo, Ah My Goddess, Chobits, and so on. Shows that have some sort of magic/ mystical feel to them. The main char gets over run with girls and has to pick one that is right for him. (Which they almost NEVER tell you who he ends up with, leaving it up to your imagination.) We like to guess who actually gets to be with him. If you have any suggestions for shows, it would be much appreciated. ^.^

clanned and clanned after story were amazing if ur willing to try something a little bit different. oh and would you like dubded or subbed. i know a few awesome subbed anime titles u would love.

[Hicks]

Try The Vision of Escaflowne; it has a magical/mystical feel to it.

We've seen Clannad. Great show, love the ghost girl (although technically not a ghost)

It saddens me a little how few people have left a comment. =*(

Going to have to look into that Vision of Escaflowne.

Definitely prefer the dubbed to the subbed. I'm usually gamming while we watch them, I'm big on multi-tasking.

If there are some "subbed" ones that meet the basic plot line, I'll have her drag me off the game to watch them. xD i just prefer to be efficient.

Maybe Tenchi Muyo?

Kanon if you liked clannad, kanon came first but they are very similar

if you want things that are more pervy, and by your description I would say harem is what you are looking for as all poll options are harem, try these

Love Hina - hilarious and classic harem

Maburaho and Majikano- I watched em both almost back to back so I cant remember which is which as they are very similar and both have a lot to do with majic, one of them is very similar to shuffle except more pervy and a little less drama

Ai Yori Aioshi- this one is more on the romantic side of things with a bit of drama, but still has plenty of random pervy humor interspersed. About a guy from a wealthy and powerful family who forsook his family name and is later tracked down by the girl he was once promised to because she still wants to marry him. They get a house together but for the sake of reputation pretend that she is his land lady and as such slowly accumulate a nice harem of girls crazy about the guy without realizing that he's taken, and he cant tell them.

If you check out tenchi above mentioned, great show, then Dual paralel trouble adventure is another good one though the main character never chooses a girl in either, but still hilarious

High School of the Dead, the first zombie harem I've heard of if you want something a little different, the series isn't fully dubbed and I hate subs so I don't know if the guy picks a girl but I think there is a good chance that he will, but it could go either way

To Love Ru- only in subs, I bought the dvd and found out the company who did it are elitist ant-dub people which pisses me off and I watched it out of spite, that said its a great series about how extra terrestrial encounters can seriously screw up your love life, the guy almost but not quite chooses a girl, close enough anyhow

Vandread and Nadesico- space based anime with a bit of mecha, both harem, nadesico was supposed to be a hard core mecha anime but the director knew nothing about mecha, only comedy, as such it ended up being a harem anime about the ships cook becomes the head pilot and the love interest of all the ladies, Vandread is very similar but more a battle of the sexes as men and woman split up to separate sides of the galaxy believing the other gender to be hideous monsters, when a group of lady pirates have to work with captured male soldiers they have a nice fun awkward time learning about the opposite sex they had been raised to fear, very much a harem. It's been a while since I watched them so I don't remember if there was a finally put to the love triangles but in both series there is a lady who is the obvious love interest of the male lead

Sekirei is another good pervy harem series with lots of action but the male lead is against choosing one lady over another as they are all special to him, so your girlfriend might not want to watch it

UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie- a very controversial suggestion, the main character's life is saved by the main heroine and only love interest by her giving him half her soul, as a result of having only half a soul she spends her days as a child transforming into an adult ocaisionaly, as such be prepared to feel very dirty about the lolita aspects, though they don't put any emphasis on pedophilia beyond giving crap to the main character, that said, it has a lot of romance elements, a good bit of harem, and a lot of random humor, especially if you listen to things said in the back ground, if you can get past the annoying lolita its a good series and in spite of the main characters love interest being a child most of the time it does not flirt with pedophilia anywhere near as much as a lot of other series that throw in little girls for pervs who get off on that sort of thing, shuffle having some descent examples as does tenchi

Ouran High School Host Club- If you can get past the reverse harem aspect and get over most of the characters being pretty boys flirting with homosexuality and a plain looking female lead (doesn't take long to do this, but the first couple minutes are exceedingly awkward if you are uncomfortable with guy on guy action, no kissing or anything like that, but watch and you'll see, don't let that scare you) it is absolutely hilarious and has a lot of romance elements, there are only two real love interests for the girl and she leans heavily to one side, its well worth watching.

Search for harem anime and you will find a but load along the lines of shuffle and girls bravo, but its a toss up as to the ones where a guy chooses a girl and the ones that suggest but give no closure and the ones where they guy remains adamantly indecisive wanting to have it all (those seem to be the minority, middle is the majority)

if you want series with elements of romance but not necessarily harem

Elfen Lied- has some harem elements, but a very deep story, lots of blood gore and nudity, the main characters love interest is not quite human and has been a serial killer devoted to the destruction of mankind since childhood though he doesn't know it, a lot of deep and emotional scenes, lots of action, and the romance elements are strong, the main character does not make a clear choice but people can easily interpret one as having been made between the the serial killer and the other love interest

Spice and Wolf- the romance elements saturate the series but remain subtle, I'm only half way through the second series but it appears that the relationship between the two leads is becoming more formal and clear, this is a slow moving show with more dialog than anything else about a traveling merchant and a giant wolf who can transform into a human with wolf ears and a tail and their travels together. Has a good deal of drama and suspense but is usually light hearted, a good series unless you have a short attention span or just don't like a series that's 90% dialog, there is another heroine thrown in near the end of the first series that proves more an element to make the wolf jealous than to serve as an actual love rival

Moon Phase - The Main character gets bitten by a cute vampire who is a bit childlike and distraught that she cant control him because he is spiritually retarded, a decent amount of comedy and romance and a descent amount of action, main charachter never has to choose between love interests

Kaze No Stigma- main character is kicked out of his family of fire magic users for being weak and returns later as a bad ass air magic user, a style of magic disdained by his family as inferior, the story revolves largely around him and his distant cousin who is the future head of the family and love interest, desent amount of action, good plot and story though unless they do a second season ,which is unclear if they will last I checked, as a lot of questions are left unanswered, for the most part the female lead has no real competition in the romantic department until a clone of the male lead's dead ex-girlfriend shows up to play mind games, a clear choice of love interest is made by the end of the series

And because its my favorite, School Rumble, more random humor than anything, but a lot of romance elements and love triangles and outright confusion in the romance department, absolutely hilarious and by the fourth episode the plot becomes a lot less random. The main character only has eyes for one girl who never suspects it, and because he's and idiot he gets mixed up with a lot of other girls he doesn't want, and there are a lot of other side plots of other romances as well, but primarily a comedy

Hope this helps

Death Note is probably my all time favourite serious anime, but Azumanga Daioh is a good comedy too.

[renovalentine]

Could try Full Metal Alchemist and/or Brotherhood. it has a lot of alchemy in it (duh) which is a bit like magic i suppose

[Aeris10102]

Code Geass is my absolute favorite anime. It takes a few episodes to get the whole story but it is worth the watch. There are two seasons, 50 episodes total.

Next would have to be Clannad and Clannad After Story. It made my cry it was that good.

Lastly are Shiki and Highschool of the Dead. Shiki is a traditional vampire anime. I was skeptical at first but I really got into it and fell in love with the doctor with a hate for the Junior Monk. It's worth the watch. HOTD sort of speaks for itself. It's an anime about a zombie invasion. There is a good bit of fanservice, but if you can overlook that, it's good. It's still ongoing however.

I would also suggest Angel Beats! if you like comedy and sentimental animes.
