Can anyone help me I'm searching for an anime with a great plot and action or a great plot with very emotional/sad stuff
I'd also like to be able to download it

Oh and some shounen-ai as a bonus perhaps?

Oh yeah a perfect example of what kind of anime I'm looking for is Gravitation/Full Metal Alchemist...

Thanks in advance

I suggest Rurouni Kenshin OVA: Reminiscence. It doesn't lie at the top five for most online anime charts for nothing - it's a beautiful mix of sadness, death, desolation, and snow ... (!) what more could you ask for?

Elfen Lied has a great plot, and has really a permanently turned-on emotional mood. Its atmosphere of miasmic melancholy is simply beautiful. For currently running anime, a great plot is that of Ergo Proxy's, though I won't promise that you'll enjoy the animation and the transformation sequences in that potboiler anime.

Well, I'll just list titles. I can't verify downloadability.

under shounen-ai/plot/action:

Loveless. I've only seen the first 4 ep. so far, but there is a plot, action and sadness that permeates the series . It's great so far.

under plot/action +/- sadness:

Samurai 7. Mecha and samurai. Loads of action, lots of deaths, good plot.

She the Ultimate Weapon. A "sad" title imo
.
Fafner. It's very good so far. I've only gotten up to ep. 20.

Fate/stay night. Great action. plot.

Macross Zero. Beautiful title. mecha action.

Black Lagoon. Loads of action. Sad when you think about Revy's past.

Gankutsuou. Plot-driven title that exemplifies the saying that "revenge is a dish best served cold."

Gunbuster. Good story, action, physics lessons, and sad things happen.

Gunbuster 2 (Diebuster). Action, plot and fanservice less than the original imo.

Pale Cocoon. Plot, some action, sad title. Beautiful.

Yonna in the Solitary Fortress. Total 3D CG title. Loads of action, plot.

Grave of the Fireflies. Plot, some action. The ultimate "sad" title.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Great plot and action balanced with light moments to throw you off balance. Definitely try this one!

Loveless has been licensed by Media Blasters, and the DVDs have all been released. You're probably new to AnimeSuki so you might not be clear on this but the policy is that asking for downloads for a licensed series is strictly prohibited.

And for the record, Gackt isn't just good, he's god. Having said that, those Battlefield Earth dreads of his need to go. Seriously.

Hahaha yeah Gackt is god indeed and I really didn't know about the download thing sorry.

Loveless is my favorite BL series besides Gravitation and Yami no Matsuei.

Kyou Kara Maou is also a great fun series with BL undertones, as well as Princess Princess (episode 6 is simply hillarious!).

Great plot/action/drama:
-Last Exile
-Juuni Kokki
-Monster
-Gankutsuou
-Eureka 7

ps: Most anime can be found easily..

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien...

Gackt=good · 2006-05-21, 09:06

Thanks everyone I'm currently watching Higurashi no naku koro ni and when I've reached 7 Imma watch Kimi ga Nozumu Eien.

physics223 · 2006-05-21, 09:17

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is quite melodramatic. I'll even go as far as to say it's bathetic.

Well imma watch it because the person who recommended it to me said it is a very sad anime and I wanna watch a very sad anime!

Circular Logic · 2006-05-21, 09:23

Yeah, you definitely want to watch KgNE. Nearly cried...

Watch eps 1&2 before making up your mind.

Ok I will and I'll probably watch more

physics223 · 2006-05-21, 10:26

Ah, okay. But if you want more brainy (note: not brainless) sad anime you could check out the first OVA of Rurouni Kenshin. It's better, IMO.

Okay, but the OVA isn't that just one episode and isn't an OVA an episode wich hasn't really got anything to do with the anime?...or is this only with Gravitation?

miaka · 2006-05-22, 21:15

cluster edge - the story is about issues regarding artificial soldiers with some boy drama in the latter part.
Jyuohsei - it has great plot and action stuff.
Garasu no Kantei - space action and adventure drama
