Looking for Anime Advice ^^;

[Oninusar]

Recently ive gotten my Anime though iMesh and a few other P2P clients, a hardcore Anime fan i met said this was the place to go, theres so many series i had no idea Anime was so big...

So far ive seen and LOVED:
++++ Angelic layer
++++ Pilot Candidate
+++ Inuyasha
++ Hellsing
+++ Trigun
++ DBZ
+++ Cowboy Bebop
++ Berserk

as for movies my favorite are:
+++ Battle Angel
+++ Armitage (dual matrix, The Third)
++ Patlabor (1,2)
++ The DBZ's (all)
+++ Vampire Hunter D (both)
+ " Hirusakadoji - The Legend of the Overfiend" <-- to much sex, but cool story

theres a ton more but cant think of any off the top of my head
Angelic Layer as so fan been my absolute Favorite! Pilot Candidate is a very close 2nd ^^

is there any suggestions along the lines of Angelic Layer, Pilot Candidate, or Inuyasha... im looking for a more modern, kinda fun series, a feel good one, one to make me laugh and cry, maybe stand up anf cheer too ^^

Being licensed means that a title is available domestically (usually referring to US localization) and that by downloading episodes (as opposed to buying it) is taking money away from domestic companies and hurting their profitability (less profit means the worse job they do/fewer series get licensed.) So, if you really enjoy a series invest your money in it and support the genre.

Unlicensed simply means that it isn't available domesitcally. There are many debates on the ethics and so forth, but as a for instance, AnimeSuki only lists unlicensed titles, and removes titles from their lists as soon as something is licensed.

As for recommendations:

As stated already, Full Moon wo Sagashite fits your bill perfectly. Since you really liked Angelic Layer (which is a CLAMP work) you might want to try some of their other titles, like Card Captor Sakura (NOT Cardcaptors) Magic Knight Rayearth, or Chobits (all licensed.)

General Recommendations:

Full Metal Panic (licensed)
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (unlicensed)
Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu

Cool, thanks Zoya, yeah i love to support the genre, and i finally got a raise <<dances>> so i can afford all the oodles and oodles of vids i want :)

so far the best resource i found for buying Anime is RightStuff International (http://www.rightstuf.com/), is there any other place you guys recommend i buy from? maybe a bit cheaper DVD's?

oh Subbed or Dubbed i dont care anime is great either way though i do miss the voice inflectiong you get with Nihongo Dialect.. you know what i mean ^^;

..?Chance Triangle Session

these are romance/high school life/ (some) music genres
hope u like it

I highly recommend PARADISE KISS first. career and love. charming and irritating. it's not echii. but includes 1 or 2 hentai plays. but the ending is smashing. i dunno if u'd like it..

Second is>>>Sensual Phrase is over all about music. mishmashed with romance. NICE ONE.. maybe echii.
My top 3 would be>>>Boku wa Imoto ni Koi wo Suru<<<INCEST. better than yaois and yuris.
My top 4>>>Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru <<<The main character Mizuho is a nice guy who was born in a good family, smart, and moral. But one day, he has to transfer to a girl’s high school by his grandfather’s last will. Then, he has to disguise like a girl to go to the school…
well...Aishiteruze Baby, just another romance type of anime.. but cuter..sweet.
Also try to visit AnimeNfo.com
look for top 200 animes, new animes, and search in by GENRES...
echii, hs life, romance, mecha, music, mystery, action, adventure, comedy, yaoi, yuri, drama, some tragic...
I'm not in to actions/mecha/adventure and all that. my cds here and downloads are more on ROMANCE/HS LIFE/ some MUSIC/and...ECHII...>>genre<<

Looking through your list, you're more of an action/groups-of-people person, here's what I'd suggest:

1st, Hellsing - which one have you seen? :) there's the oldie-but-goodie, and then there's the OVA - which is coming out as we speak (3 episodes released, more to come).

Next, I'd recommend you check stuff like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece - FullMetal Alchemist you'd prolly enjoy as well.

Also try Eureka 7.

You have trigun and bebop listed there - so you might as well give "outlaw star" a try.

I know i get repetitive but Code Geass is just a good anime =x

shakugan no shana try it ^^

Never bought from them, but they have a good rep. I usually use DVDPriceSearch (http://www.dvdpricesearch.com/) for comparison shopping, but their listings aren't always up to date. I usually wind up buying from DeepDiscount (http://www.deepdiscount.com/) or Overstock.com (http://www.overstock.com/) online. Offline, BestBuy can be OK for store-only sales and new releases for $18-22, but they can also be lazy about re-stickering prices when the sales are over, so just have them double-check the price before buying.

if you liked the dbzs and you wanna see animes that wanna make you laugh / cry and stand up and cheer then you should defenitely see the obvious shows

Naruto / One piece. It's no romance tho, and I expect you're allready seeing them but didn't saw them mentioned at your favourites so thougth i just give you the tip in case.
And I second Shakugan no Shana. Busou renkin is action / romance to. Zero no Tsukaima is funny / action / with a bit of romance to.
