Something Dark with a good plot
I have a bit of a problem, I have not been able to find anything to watch latetly. Sure I download some of the episodes released every week, but it would be great if someone could point out another series which I may like and have not seen. I typically like animes with a good story and a rather dark mood (i.e, hardly any "cute" stuff).
Here are the animes which I have seen (or currently watching) and like a lot: Rurouni Kenshin Reminiscence OVA Berserk Juuni Kokki (Twelve Kingdoms) Last Exile Monster Gantz Ghost in the Shell 1st and 2nd seasons Witch Hunter Robin Beck Full Metal Alchemist Wolf's Rain Evangelion Noir RahXephon Gunslinger Girls Hellsing Trigun Cowboy Bebop And I actually didn't like Boogiepop, Serial Experiment Lane, Technolyze nor Paranoia Agent. I tried to like them, but things were just a tad too slow moving for me. |

You definately don't want to miss Shingetsutan Tsukihime. "Dark with a good plot" is exactly what that anime is about. I guess it's licensed in the US, so you might want to buy the DVDs.
Elfen Lied is also great, but a bit gory. Sometimes it even made me feel slightly nauseated, but the ending was incredibly good. Well worth it. |

Yeah, I forgot to list both Elfen Lied and Tsukihime, and they are indeed both excellent animes.
As for the comment regarding Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. Well, I thought Evangelion was quite dark, character development wise in any case. As for the CB and Trigun, I liked both series for their story driven episodes; which were dark. In the case of CB, I only really liked 5 or 6 episodes (the story driven ones). And trigun, I loved the second half as it did not have the comedy. |

Elfin Lied gory.. vividly gory, yet it was not done in a bad way. And the story...omfg..the story of Elfin Lied... I mean, I took me weeks to get over watching that anime. It is literally one of those shows that will change your life IMHO. |
