Tacuma

I'm not sure what you've seen already, but some things I've liked in recent seasons are Hakuouki (which features hot zombie-vampire Shinsengumi, and a sometimes helpless self-insert chick from the dating sim, but mostly hot zombie-vampire Shinsengumi -- and if you like history, a lot more references to important events than usually make it into adaptations. If you have any questions about history, on the other hand, I'm happy to fill in any details. Before I showed this to my anime club, I actually subjected them to a plushie re-enactment of the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate because there's a lot that it assumes you already know. That said, it's mostly running on its own merits, not on accurate history.), Star Driver (which is kind of silly, but also kind of fabulous -- not your average mecha show with a circus-bondage council of bad guys, and I'm not sure words will suffice to describe it), and Bakuman (which is about two mangaka, and better than such stories usually are. I recommend less highly than the other two, but the insights into the manga publishing industry have been pretty interesting).

If you want recommendations for older series, I've got bunches (consequences of running weekly anime clubs for the last... wow. Six or seven years. I feel old.), but I'll have to ask what you've already seen and liked so I don't double up or go way off base.

I hope you find something fun!
