Anyone a suggestion for an anime I should watch? I finished watching Darker Than Black and it was brilliant. I wanna start watching something else, but I don't know which ones I should watch.
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 started to watch Baccano, but it's only 13 episodes. I wonder if it will be fun. The guys of Hakuoki look very good and zombie-vampires are something terribly interesting. But I don't know anything about Japanese history (or any other history for that matter). I might try it out and see if I can handle it. Star Driver looks good, but there are lots of woman. They're not spoiling the story? I keep all three in mind and I will try them out for sure.
Hard to make a list of what I've seen. So many things. Well, I love stories with a guy as the main character. A good looking one if possible. I like action, I don't mind blood and killing at all. Detectives are fine too. Fantasy is great. Not too many girls, although I liked Rozen Maiden. No mary-sue's. I like some humor in the stories, but if it's completely serious, I'm fine with it too.
My faves: Code Geass, Ouran HSHC, Tsubasa Chronicle, Kuroshitsuji, Claymore, Kyou Kara Maou, Hetalia. That might show what kind of things I like XD
