I'm all out of anime to watch again Q^Q
So here I go again :U

-Naruto
-Bleach
-D. Gray-man
-Durarara!
-Toradora!
-Kimi Ni Todoke
-Kaichou wa Maid-sama
-Welcome to the NHK
-Black Rock Shooter
-Special A
-Angel Beats
-Vampire Knight
-Vampire Knight Guilty
-Natsume Yuujinchou
-Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou
-Honey & Clover
-Honey & Clover II
__Didn't finish/like
-Baccano
-ef - a tale of memories/melodies
-School Days
-Bakemonogatari
-Lovely Complex
-Full Metal Alchemist
-D N Angel
-Clannad (and all anime with art resembling the girls from Clannad)
-Death Note
And there were some other series that were in my old thread that I didn't really try because, a) quality was too low, or b) not enough sources.
Right now I'm looking for Comedy/Romance/Slice of life and maybe Drama.
Toradora or Special A would be the type of thing I love love love.
Things like Angel Beats and Natsume Yuujinchou has more supernatural stuff in it and that kinda thing comes in second.
And only awesome shounen stuff like D. Gray-man catch my attention in terms of non-romance anime.
:>?
*edit.
I still don't like old anime :l
Old = older than 2005-2006ish.

Nana
It's about these two different girls named Nana who've met each other by fate and became friends.
The first episodes are flashbacks which explains both of the Nana's backgrounds
but you should watch it as it's important to the plot.
It's very appealing because the setting is very modern.

about hayate no gotoku
its a fairly popular anime and manga. its pretty much a butler kind of anime. its always fun to watch and the anime uses a ton of parodies and reference, and i mean a ton.
there is romance but ts more of a comedy/romance. 2 seasons with 5x eps for s1 and forgot how much in s2.
just try out ep1. santa is in it.
also, wont be rec'ing anything atm. no keyboard. using on screen and its annoying.

Why am I not seeing Toaru no Majutsu Index in there? You don't have to watch Railgun cuz that was mostly fillers of moe and tidbits of amazing action, but it's mandatory to watch Index D:<
Toaru series = Society where both Magic and ESPer powers exist with comedy and action. Second season is coming out in a week, so if you wanna pick it up, now's a good time.
Edit : Oh yeah. Also there's Zero No Tsukaima which is based on a Magic World where this super lucky guy named Saito ends up being forced into by some amazing mage named Louise and they go on epik adventure. There's Comedy, Action, and Romance in that one.
Edit Edit : Also demanding you watch Shakugan no Shana.
