Fullmetal Alchemist of course.
Ranma 1/2 might count. Soul Eater has shape-shifting into weapons. And I guess the witches shape shift into animals. That's all I can think of that I've seen. I'm sure there are others.

Legend of Crystania feature lots of shapeshifters.
Spice and Wolf has Horo who shifts between wolf and human forms.

If you don't mind 'monsters' in place of animals, along with a heavy dose of dark-ish SciFi mumbo jumbo, Guyver (2005) would fit the bill perfectly.
@Cryonosis: While Spice & Wolf is a very fine piece of anime, it really shouldn't be recommended to anyone who is looking for a shapeshifting theme, considering you don't even need all the fingers from one hand to count all the times it happens in the series

To whoever says that Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't have shapeshifting. It does. Envy shapeshifts. Sometimes even into animals. He can take any form he wants. He's the most basic definition of a shapeshifter.
There are also other less powerful shapeshifters too.

I recall Outlaw Star having a few characters that could take on animal form. Ashia Clan Clan is one character from that series that had a cat/humanoid hybrid from but can change into a full on tiger.
I do not know about Betterman. It has characters that change into monsterous forms and one that changes from a bird into a humanoid form. But this is done by eating seeds made up of humans. |

Natsume Yuujinchou has a shape-shifting demon named Nyanko-sensei. His usual form is a "lucky cat," but his real form is an enormous wolf-like beast.
EDIT: I can't believe no one mentioned Fruits Basket.

Odd recommendation of the day : Oh! Edo Rocket.
Medieval japanese firework artisan trying to send a rocket to the moon FTW The female lead is a shapeshifting monster, but I am not sure it is what you are looking for. It's an excellent, but weird comedy. |

Yes, FMA and Nanoha have shape shifters. In FMA it happens like 5 times in total over 63 episodes and in Nanoha it's about the same number over all 3 seasons. You don't watch those shows for shape shifting but for other reasons.
That said I recommend Wolf's Rain (Humans -> wolves), Erementar Gerard (People -> weapons) and Claymore (Humans -> monsters). |
