    I have few anime suggestions that you might like there pretty popular animes too if you haven't seen them yet I copy and pasted some info from the wikis about them

    Inuyasha

    The series follows the half demon Inuyasha and a 15-year-old girl from Tokyo, Kagome Higurashi, who is transported to the Sengoku period after falling into a well in her family shrine, where she meets Inuyasha. When a monster from that era tries to take the magical Shikon Jewel embodied in Kagome, she accidentally shatters the Jewel into many pieces that are dispersed across Japan. Inuyasha and Kagome start traveling to recover it before the powerful demon Naraku finds all the shards. Inuyasha and Kagome gain several allies during their journey namely Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara. In contrast to the typically comedic nature of many of Takahashi's previous work, Inuyasha deals with darker subject matter, using the setting of the Sengoku period to easily display the violent content.

    Fullmetal Alchemist

    The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques, the story follows the Elric brothers Edward and Alphonse, who are searching for a philosopher's stone to restore their bodies after a failed attempt to bring their mother back to life using alchemy.

    Avatar The Last Airbender

    Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asian-influenced world where in some are able to manipulate the classical elements Earth , Water , Fire , and Air by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese martial arts known as "bending". The series follows the adventures of protagonist twelve-year-old Aang and his friends, who must bring peace and unity to the world by ending the Fire Lord's war against the other three nations

    Check out an episode or two of each hope you like them cheers :grin:

    thanks, but i probably should of mentioned ive seen a couple episodes of avatar and full metal alchemist and i had no interest to keep going. i think the characters to me werent interesting/intriguing enough. but i appreciate the effort.

    The anime i listed, i saw 1-2 episodes and was hooked. i think if there is a style to the anime to be liked or not liked it would be revealed per episode type of deal. Any other suggestions? ill check out inuyasha


    also, i didnt like one piece

    Speed Grapher. It only hits a few things you're looking for, but they're the big ones.

    It's about this rare disease that, when activated by the goddess, gives the infected person a super awesome power related to want/like/get off on the most. The main character makes things explode with his camera.

    There are a handful of major and minor plots throughout, all connected, and a few one-episode plots. All I can say is that they involve an underground fetish club for the super rich and super freaky, the owner of said club, its members, its goddess, the goddess's mother, and the bringing down of the entire Japanese economy.

    It's a pretty dark and gorey anime, but it's super interesting and full of fight scenes! My favorite Euphoric is the stretchy guy who twists people's heads off.

    Tell me what you think! :slight_smile:

    Ao no Exorcist / Blue Exorcist is a nice anime.

    And, KHR / Katekyo no Hitman Reborn / Reborn! - a lot of titles, and pretty long, but it's a good show.

    Blade and Soul - it's basically about a women who is travelling to seek revenge for her master's death (according to her code). She's defintely badass in a sense, so they just started this anime not too long ago

    Akame Ga Kill - it's about a guy named tatsumi who sets out to the capital to earn money to save his villiage. can't spoil it to much but he soon joins an assassin squad that "justifies" the corrupted. they have some neat sword skills to check out. also a new one.

    Attack on Titan -it's about following a group of people that are stuck and confined in one place in hopes to avoid their unnatural predators of giants. it also focuses on a certain organization that kills the giants. a lot of gore and blood and sword action and an interesting storyline.

    they hit some of what your looking for, so i hope you might like it!

    I'm not really an expert in animes, but I've been watching a few lately. There's one that sorta fit your description, it's gory and adult themed though. I just finished a few episodes, the quality is not one of the best, but it's still good because of the story. The name is Berserk. I can't guarantee that you're going to like it, just a suggestion.

    Just a brief resume of what that anime is about: Gattsu, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces that persue himself and his woman, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength, skill and sword, Gattsu must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity. Berserk is a dark and brooding story of outrageous swordplay and ominous fate, in the theme of Shakespeare's MacBeth.

    Inuyashsa (My favorite)
    Death Note (I HIGHLY suggest the live action movies as well, they are superb)
    Attack on Titan (This one surprised me)
    Princess Mononoke (Anything by Hayao Miyazaki is great)
    Akira (Of course)
    Full Metal Alchemist (Because it's awesome)

    Watch Eureka 7. I love the OST's of that anime, and that the episode titles are famous pop songs

    Also watch Antique Bakery if you can stomach it (it not only makes me hungry, but also shows that in real life, gay relationship and crushes are not always possible..)

    It's not spot on with that but Kampfer. Kampfer are fighters that gain power from bracelets they wear. There are Gun, Blade, and Magic Kampfer and it's almost battle royale esque. Love interest, whacky situations, and ferocious fights. Its worth looking into ^-^

    Also, someone above mentioned Soul Eater. I found it quite enjoyable as well. I'd back that.

    Ooh, almost forgot. Disgaea. After being poisoned prince Laharl, and underworld demon, awakes from his slumber to find his father is long dead. He must fight his way back to power and assert himself as the true Overlord of the Underworld. A hard headed high on himself character, Laharl meets Flonne his essential Angel Assasin opposite. Comedy, action, and sometimes tragedy follow.
