Question:
Can someone help me find a good anime to watch?

I don't have over 500 channels-- only the basic ones like Cartoon Network. So as you can see, I don't have a good selection of anime to watch. I'm thinking of buying some DVDs, but I need to know if they'll be worth my money. I'm also very picky about my anime... I love Fullmetal Alchemist, Trinity Blood, Hellsing, and Ouran High School Host Club right now. LIKES: Good animation, excellant English voice-overs, anime that is either A) sad, B) very funny, or C) a combination of both.
There also has to be some Drama and a little bit of action (okay...alot!). I like when a show has a pair of brothers in it because it can add some tender moments to the show
(brotherly love is more tender than sisterly love in anime, so yeah...FMA has Ed and Al and Host Club has the twins). It doesn't HAVE to have brothers, but I'll watch it if it does. I like shojo-type anime, and I'll only watch shonen if I can relate to the characters and it isn't action 24-7 (hate Dragonball Z type action).

What about Fushigi yuugi/Curious play?

It has comedy and sometimes there are sad moments too.I love that show!

Given some of your requirements, I'd suggest sticking with some of the more realistic anime such as Tokyo Godfathers.



I personally thought My Hime had a similar feel to FMA, but keep in mind it's almost impossible to rec something for FMA given how unique it is.



As far as good dubs, one of my favorite is Papuwa but it falls under the spastic comedy category.



In general I'd suggest testing out thinpaks from ADV. They are releasing most of their stuff in thinpak format now: extremely sturdy and gorgeous artboxes (not a brick or digipak like the other companies do) and CHEAP ... something like 40-70 MSRP for the entire series, and then of course if you go to http://www.dvdpricesearch.com you can get them for at least 20 bucks cheaper, usually through DVDPacific or DeepDiscountDVD (both reputable). The ADV thinpaks have no special features, but I personally don't care about those. Anyways, if some things you are interested in are available in the thinpaks from ADV, and you are set on buying, it's a good way to go. Based on my experience, ADV puts out good dubs nowadays 90% of the time, where other studios still suck.



And finally, since you have specific needs you might check out Anime Planet's recommendation system here: http://www.anime-planet.com . You can look up any of the stuff you like, and it shows you other anime people also think you'd like (with screenshots and stuff). You can also look at the reasons why people recommended them, which might make the choices easier (if someone said simialr shoujo animation you'd probably like that one, for example).

Well, personally I enjoyed Samurai Seven. it's a series based on the show Seven Samurai. Before I go further i'll tell you it does have robots, er machines; (the heros are not in robots, but there are some in it, and there is a machine samurai) but it is very good. It is sad, has love in it, funny, basically everything u wanted from wat i could tell. I rented it first so you may want to do the same, but I ended up buying the box set. it's 7 dvds and 27 episodes, but it was well worth it to me.

i got some that no one else mentioned that is very cool, (but they are in a video game, so some ppl will have wierd hair but other than that very good).



its .hack//sign. it has plenty drama and action same as the other .hack// series. i really really suggest u should watch this one. best of all u can watch it on video.google.com so u wont have to buy it.



if u liked .hack//sign, there is also .hack//legend of twilight which has a brother and sister as main characters.



also .hack//roots is a little more like .hack//sign



.hack//Liminality



i strongly suggest these. oh and fooly cooly is a hilarious one with drama in it. fooly cooly is only 6 ep. and the .hack sign and roots have 26 ep. the rest have less than 15

hey girlie your NOT picky im so much worse and i totaly understand that when it comes to anime, now FMA is one of the best anime i bought the whole series and the movie :] it's totally worth the buy if you love it alot



OuranHighSchool Host Club is another awsome one too i bought that lolz



now it's hard to find good voice over for english

but if your looking for an anime with sadness and funnyness lolz try Chrono Crusade.. i watched it in japanese so im not sure on the dub but you can look it up on wikipedia who dub's it and check to see if you like those voice acotrs from any other previous animes you watched :]



uhhh.. you might like Fruits basket its cutesy and nice but with a hint of darkness; the charecters will be nice for apart of the show but they can change in a second...also the fact that their a bi-polar charecter in that show lolz..its about the chinese zodiac and a family curse.. it entertaining to say teh least butttt..the main character has big eyes...except she's the only one with big eyes.....it's odd i just noticed that haha



alright it may seem a little out of your description but maybe try samurai champloo, it has strong family ties ..quick action scenes and it's really funny... it dates back to the fuedual era with ...well samurai derr..lolz it's a good watch i was surprised i liked it



you can also try ruroni kenshin but im not so sure about the dub since the show is kinda old but theres alot of romance in it when you really get into the series [50 eps in]

uhh.. again samurai's and yea but the art is pretty good

and the main character is like so easy to fall in love with lolz



if your looking for a funny anime try FLCL its hilarious and emotions are all twisted and tied between the characters its only 12 bittersweet episodes long but i couldn't stop watching :]



uhhh.. theres no English dub for the anime LOVELESS but if your into mild yaoi it's a good watch and an extremely emotion packed show ... it's art i personally love but you can try it out theres definitely brotherly love :P



OH! and try Peacemaker Kurogane it's definitly brotherly love in that anime and some action and LOTS of emotion it's not that long of a series about 26 episodes ... the main charecter ahs the voice of Wrath from Full Metal Alchemist and his older brothers voice is Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist :D trust me the voices are good except for one white haired charecter who's voice cracks, i dont know why they cast that crappy vocie acotr but luckily he isint a main charecter so you wont hear much of him :]



well if you need any more feel free to ask :D



PS: Most of the animes given above are shounen [boy oriented] gundam has robots hellsing is shounen most of those are action packed animes i think if you want more girly stuff take a look at the ones i posted...because i've seen all the ones they have posted and i would reccomend maybe 2 out of all of them if any
