You know, if you do it right, you can get your PhD in anime like my husband did. biggrin.gif So now he gets to call himself Dr. Anime.

(He specifically studied the informal education processes of anime fans as they learned about Japanese culture, but his research largely involved going to anime cons and anime club meetings.)

We run a "Shoujo Sunday" meeting of anime fans once a week. We recently finished up Puella Madoka Magika, and Hatorakiman. We're going to go classic on one side and go with Marmalade Boy, but we're looking for a more recent series to balance it out.

Requirements:

- Shoujo
- Released in the last 5 ish years
- NOT a high school comedy
- Preferably something dark or at the very least serious

Any ideas?


Hmmm... I hope you don't mind Shounen-Ai tongue.gif (Also, there could be more but Shoujo has always been a weak point for me) sad.gif

Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo kittenteru (Shounen-Ai)
Hakuoki
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo
Loveless (2005, but that kinda counts right?)
Jyu-Oh-Sei (Early 2006, seems a bit iffy)

I'm not sure whether or not you've seen these already, and they might hit more of your pet peeves as opposed to your requirements, but I hope it helps :3

Well, this is slightly harder... Tsunderes are everywhere, even in Pokemon! But I have a vague feeling I know what you're talking about :3

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
Bakemonogatari
Suzuka
Kanon
Love Hina
Kaichou wa Maid-sama

Some of these might look familiar :3


Man, Suzuka's tsundere is brutal. Sometimes you'll think that she has no feelings for the guy at all. But its not a bad story. The anime stops halfway through the story so the manga actually shows the story of actually being in a relationship. Not common in most animes/mangas where they stop at a fairy tail ending.

I know right? She makes Kagami from Lucky Star and Shana from Shakugan look like n00bs :3

Yes, I am looking for an anime that is mainly comedy (preferably romantic), with a little bit of ecchi, that has a funny male protagonist with a very hot and attractive female protagonist. This seems like a pretty simple description, but I don't know where to start finding something like that so this would be a good start.

Yaoi and shoune-ai are fine! We've actually already watched Loveless as part of the viewing. (Such a pretty ending song...) But I'll definitely research the others and see if they'll fit the group.

Probably the most outrageous shounen-ai we watched, at the request of one of the group who was moving overseas to Japan for JET, was Gakuen Heaven. tongue.gif

Read my stuff! Some of the stories are even finished! Catwho on Fanfiction.net

Well, to satiate your horror taste-buds I suggest...

Elfen Lied
Ookami Kakushi
Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (NOT Higurashi)
Petite Cossette
Princess Resurrection



Oh I love Elfen Lied. If the other ones are half as good, thank you very much.

Well, I think you might like something along the lines of Haruhi... But everyone's seen that so...

Sora no Otoshimono Forte
Kiss x Sis (18+)
Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
Omamori Himari (18+)
R-15 (Has been suggested already I know) tongue.gif
Amaenaideyo! Katsu!!

I think this will suffice, but there are more like this... Unfortunately (like many other anime that I've suggested) I have either been recommended to these anime or I haven't finished watching them yet... So I will not know if it is exactly your taste... But try them anyway tongue.gif

I want something like Defense Devil (only manga; there's no anime or it) and Kaichou Wa Maid-sama!


(I HIGHLY suggest you read Defense Devil if you already haven't... My avatar tells all!)

If you search higher up on the thread you can see anime that are rather similar to Kaichou wa Maid-sama...

But I'm gonna bring up some examples anyway...

Bakemonogatari
Suzuka
Kanon

As for something like Defense Devil? Well it's not gonna be exact but i can see the similarities :3

Getbackers
Madlax
Inu x Boku SS
Matantei Loki Ragnarok

Enjoy biggrin.gif

Something similar in tone to One Piece, but with a bit of a heavier romance theme.

Well it would be obvious that I'd think along the lines of...

Fairy Tail, Groove Adventure Rave and Rave Master.

But there are some other anime that ar every similar, they only have a different drawing style;

Jigoku Sensei Nube
Macross 7
Mars Daybreak
Saber Marinoette J
Steel Angel Kurumi
Tobe! Isami

Some of these are a bit old and may not be your thing if you just got into One Piece recently (and by that, I meant that you just watched the later episodes...) otherwise it would be more than worth your time to check these out :3

Well Hokuto no Ken springs to mind immediately, as does Hajime no Ippo...

But for an anime enthusiast like you? You'd probably want these...

Baki the Grappler II
Flame of Recca
Fighting Beauty Wulong Rebirth
Medaka Box
Shura no Toki
Tenjou Tenge

These are mostly Martial Arts based, but I find those to be the most gruesome... But if you want some swordfights then Claymore is your best bet, there might be some more but I'm drawing blanks now tongue.gif
