@cyber: try:

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (dark)
Berserk (now this is dark and excellant if you haven't seen it)
12 Kokuki (fantasy, historic)
Blood: The Last Vampire (dark)

unfortunately in no sci-fi anime fan at all, hate most of the sci-fi stuff.

though the new ghost in the shell: innocence looks great, had a flick through it, but don't expect to actually understand the story, at least not the first time round.

another good sci-fi is Wonderful days, a korean anime.

and on the subject of korean animes, i again recommand Oseam to EVERYONE, this anime was so touching, as mature and sometimes childish as it can be, but this anime keeps it real, just like a disney cartoon but without the cliches

Thanks all for the sugestions, in the last few months I did notice some of the animes you sugested but I skipped them (was in doubt if it was what I was seraching for) but you all removed the doubt so I am going to try them now. And one sugestion was already in mine collection (Kite He).

@rosepetals19:
KOR is quite different from Maison Ikkoku in my opinion. Well I saw only the censored italian version a loooong time ago (15 years ago maybe) but

@bardack: the whole KOR saga had a definite ending, and to your question you marked a spoiler with: yes.

@charn: i do agree with you that the tv series was basically a filler series, very little went on for the most of it, just a slcie of life really.

but, the first movie, a lot of people hated (which i don't see why, i mean it is a romance series) i thought was one of the best romance episode ther ever was, easily matches any episode in KGNE. just full of action and things happening and you finally see fruit of what you have been waiting for in the tv series and the (very crappy) OVAs.

second movie fo anyone here i DON'T recommand if you are on of those people who don't tolerate dub after watching subs as the characters, as charn said changes somewhat, hell i even watched it in dub after watching all the previous KOR in subs, luckily i tolerate dubs far better than most.

still it's a very good way of tying all loose ends up for me.

Here my SECOND romance raccomendation.
If I see you in my dreams OVA (Yume De Aetara OVA)
This is "already" the second romantic anime that I like. Unfortunately there are only 3 episodes, I would have liked seeing more episodes...

One good point (from my point of view) is that characters are grown up (24, 22). Another thing is that the male character, despite being totally inexperienced with women, shows his feelings to the woman he loves (different from some "idiots" I've seen in other animes). The woman is so sweeeeet and she does an adorable job.

From what I've read so far I recommend this above all to Caffe' Macchiato and Charn.

warning: there is also a TV series but it is not connected to the events of the series. Same characters but different atmosphere. The male character seems a complete idiot (I've seen 7 minutes so far). They say to me the TV series resembles Love Hina (I didn't see it and I won't).
*EDIT*: I don't like the TV SERIES of the OVA I recommend.

Thank you Bardack I will check this series out. I am waiting for a delivery of a series called Here is greenwood which is also a 6 EPs romance. But your recommendation seems to be more interesting..

I finished 4 EPs of Saikano today and I like it so far. It is very similar to KGNE.. sad but beautiful.. it's like KGNE with mecha fights.

EDIT : Bardack, I just checked this series out on a main page and the TV series have 16 EPs. I checked animenation and there are 2 DVDs.. first, the OVA which has 3 EPs (the one you recommended) The 16 EPs complete TV series has only one DVD.. Strange eh ?? From my experience I don't think Media Blasters would stuff 16 EPs in 1 DVD.. The deal seems too good to be true..

There aren't any reliable reviews up there on the main page for me to judge the series too. De Baer (the review moderator) wrote a review for OVA and he gave 8.0 for it. Unfortunate his review is in German and I don't understand German.. In the TV series there aren't any reviews I can rely on to make any decisions.. ~sigh~

If you like the story that the hero is a real loser type you should give Ghost Sweeper Mikami a try.. My brother loves that series.. it's hilarious.. The hero is a real loser and a real pervert.. The heroine is a ghost though.. and the hero's boss is a Ghostbuster called Mikami and she's the stingiest person on earth. She charges JPY 100 million - 1 billion per job. The pay must be in cash and under table (the money transferred directly to her secret bank account in Switzerland for tax evasion purposes).. then she gave the hero a salary of JPY 250 per hour and the heroine (ghost) get JPY 30 per day to be her servant, slave, secretary, and a victim to lure the ghosts out.. It's quite funny and there are lots of action too..

I'm looking for a good adventure type anime were it starts off with one or a few people and as they go along they find more people who join them on their quest like Inu yasha and One Piece, preferebly with some comedy and a little romance (not as an obvious romance as in fushigi yuugi but something like inu yasha or rurouni kenshin) the longer the anime the better!

**Posted:** Wed Nov 24, 2004 3:54 am

Thalan (#44961)

The one I can come up with Darkiz is Scrapped Princess. Though it isn't exactly what you want but anyway it's somewhat alike. Some people join them and then leaves them to come back again. Other than that I was gonna say RK but obviously you've already seen that one.

@dakiz: lots and lots of anime like that such as digimon, pokemon, i would imagine naruto is like that too, basically, any long ass animes focused on action would have that.
