OKay I've no anime to watch anymore so suggestions please?
I like Action, romance, shounen, comedy,adventure, or any sort of emotional anime
Right now I am looking for a strong action romance anime but any anime is just fine.

Heres some I seen and liked:
Inuyasha
Bleach
Naruto
Shuffle!
Shugo Chara
Corpse Princess
Fruits Basket
Ouran Host Club
Soul Eater
School Rumble
Claymore
Hell Girl
Spirited Away
Howls Moving Castle

Some Anime I disliked or just didn't work
Negima!
Spice and Wolf
Shinigami no Ballad (It was good, just boring)

Really, any anime is fine I just need something to get hooked on (Anime Movies too!)

Eragon · 2011-06-30, 03:50

Well if any anime is fine then here's some I would recommend,
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - will get you hooked for sure.
Blood+
Samurai Champloo
Fairytail - if liked bleach and naruto then you'll probably like this as well.
Death Note - one of the best anime's I have seen.
Gurren Lagann
Darker than Black

Since you listed two Miyazaki films, you should see what is IMO his best movie...Princess Mononoke. It has a lot of action in it.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has been very influential to some shows over the last few years, and it is well-animated, the main character(Kyon) is snarky, funny and awesome. The title character is also a compelling and complex character. And the 1st season's OP and ED are well-known and loved.

Full Metal Panic! Good mix of action, drama and comedy. Half of the fun is seeing just how much the hero(Sousuke) lacks in social skills and how this comes into play when he's around the main heroine(Kaname).

Toradora! Romantic comedy with some drama in the second half of the series. The two main characters are complex and likable(although Taiga comes off as not very likable at first).

Summer Wars Great sci-fi movie with a surprising message about social networks. Has got drama, comedy, plenty of action and romance too.

Cross Game - i love the relationship build up and friends. Its definately a original. None of that echhi stuff. Also no episodes that are random

Samurai Champloo - best action scenes

Phantom Requiem Of The Phantom - many twists and turns and great story

Maison Ikkoku - so many misunderstandings that it makes it such a great romance.

Please Teacher! - of my favs of romance

Darker Than Black - love the characters of this especially Hei

Highschool of the dead - Zombies + gore + harem whats not to like? Also you wont get bored because its a thriller!

Yu Yu Hakusho - one of my fav oldies ever!

NervZero · 2011-06-30, 23:02

To the OP...Samurai X is also better known to anime fans as Rurouni Kenshin.

NervZero · 2011-07-01, 04:06

hmm... Yes... But i was talking about Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal but the series is good too! but watch the movie before you watch the show it will add alot....

xXCloudXx · 2011-07-05, 04:08

Sorry guys for the late reply. But GREAT these all sound perfect! Thanks so much I shall enjoy!

Can't believe no one has mentioned Clannad yet. It may not be an "action romance" but the OP said he'd take anything and it's an anime that makes it into many people's favorite lists.

On the pure action romance side Shakugan no Shana and Fate/Stay Night are also popular ones that a lot of people like and recommend.

Elfen Lied is another action/romance that a lot of people like. Be forewarned though that this is a very gory and dark anime which pulls no punches. It's earned a lot of love and criticism (from what I remember) for what it does and portrays.

Code Geass is another one that is pretty popular one. Has a good amount of action to it and some slight romantic elements to it in places also. It's first and foremost a sort of "mind game" anime (like Death Note) and so there are many twists and turns that can easily cause someone to get "hooked".

Despite what the name implies, you may also like Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha and/or Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Both aren't your typical Mahou Shoujo anime, and since you said you liked Shugo Chara (which is a more typical Mahou Shoujo from what I remember) you may want to check these out also. Both will fall a little closer to what you say you like. Nanoha especially is pretty popular, not that that is the only judge of how good a series is of course.

Since you said you liked Shuffle! you may also want to consider looking at Da Capo and Gift Eternal Rainbow. There are several similar themes in them, and (more so in Da Capo's case) there is similar character design in terms of looks, personalities are totally different or jumbled around though. I don't know if I'd say all 3 series were siblings, if we were to classify things like that, but at the least I'd have to say close cousins.

Other than that I'll also second Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note and Blood+. All are great series worth a watch for sure.

Finally, I also greatly second The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, everything said about it is true and this is a series that also easily makes it into favorite lists. Once you've seen it you should really watch Lucky Star also as it is one of the series that was influenced by it and even shares some voice talent.

Sackett · 2011-07-05, 19:49

Full Metal Panic
Ranma 1/2
Chrome Shelled Regios
Crest of the Stars
Katanagatari

Kafriel · 2011-07-07, 14:21

Gintama, although it's mainly comedy, its action arcs exude an air of epicness that is rarely found in anime these days. Plus it's freakin' hilarious

Aqua Knight · 2011-07-08, 09:49

You will certainly like D.Gray-Man

Lexxus · 2011-07-08, 20:07

Since you are looking for an anime with romance,drama and action, Tsukihime might take to your liking. Its a combination of romance,drama and action.

Animelover#1 · 2011-07-10, 19:13

B Gata H Kei
Mahoromatic
Clannad
Spice and Wolf
Kaichou wa maid-sama

Some of my faves <3

MidoriHiME · 2011-07-15, 16:11

You might like Kimi ni Todoke (it's a really cute shoujo/romance). For action/adventure/romance I always recommend Mai-HiME, Escaflowne, Chrno Crusade and Blue Seed, though Blue Seed and Mai-HiME are chalk-full of fanservice. Good series with less romance but more action are Seirei no Moribito and CANAAN

I'll second Full Metal Panicc (first series is Ok, but The Second Raid is Epic and Fumoffu is pretty funny) and Code Geass.

Bonta Kun · 2011-07-15, 17:16

Break Blade - awesome mecha series.

Cat Shit One - Note atm this is only one 24min episode and it's CGI but it's the best 24 mins of Furry CGI awesomeness you'll ever see.
Can't really get hooked but still well worth a watch.

Sengoku Basara - awesome action to be had here but not exactly on the serious side

Baka to Test to Shokanju - Hilariously funny show with a 2nd season airing atm.

noktown · 2011-07-16, 09:40

If you watched Naruto and Bleach you should definitely see one piece to know who's the actual leader of the 3.
