    YuruYuri has Yuri themes but no ecchi. Slice of life anime.

    Yeah, Hanasaku Iroha is about the 16 year old that moves to the countrside and works at her grandmothers onsen. Mainly slice of life with romantic themes.

    EDIT; I just finished watching it, i enjoyed it and while it wasnt the greatest I've seen, it was really good.

    I just found that OreImo got a "True Route" alternate ending. Anyone else watched it? It's rather good, if a little heart-wrenching.

    12 kingdoms.

    Sets out a story arc and then just drops it unfinished with no explanation of how it got to it's current point and then the whole series just ends.

    seriously wtf...

    If you like romance comedy, you will love it. It has the slowest development you will ever see though.

    Sky should do one of those quiz things.

    Actually, if i were given the choice of fantasy, scientific and paranormal also, i would pick paranormal. I like a generally modern setting, so fantasy is pretty much out as far as favorites go, but scientific and paranormal usually have a pretty urban setting (which i like).

    What would you consider paranormal? I enjoy fantasy simply because I like to see impractical things in anime as it usually causes for an interesting plot. With that said, the others can definately have interesting plots associated with them as well, but I good majority of my favorites are fantasy. Hayao Miyazaki's movies for example.

    ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:Q ニコニコ動画版予告 - YouTube

    The trailer doesn't do the series justice. Makes it look like some overdramatic, seinen anime.

    November 17th, I'm ****ing pumped for it. It's too bad though, the final movie doesn't come out until next year.

    Howl's Moving Castle is amazing.

    Damn. One more thing I have to spend money on next month....

    Though it will probably be another 3 months for me. Was a bit worried when I heard Funimation was taking over the dub thinking I would start to hear Krillin, Goku or Piccoloo/Vegeta everywhere like anything else those guys are involved in but so far it's been good. Same with Hellsing Ultimate.

    And yea Howl's is pretty freaking sweet, but that goes for almost anything touched by Studio Ghibli.

    Paranormal would be things like Ghost Hound, Bakemonogatari, Another, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, and other stuff like that. Usually if it has to do with spirits and stuff it is paranormal, but things like miyazaki's films are more fantasy instead even though they have similar themes.

    Evangeleon is SciFi, so you might like Toaru Majutsu no Index and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Index is more serious, but both have decent sci-fi plots.

    Waylander, I have seen some pretty good dubs from Funimation while others are pretty bad. They managed to nail Spice & Wolf though, I love that series dubbed. Also, at one point, I made it my goal to watch anything Miyazake directed or wrote. I still have to watch The Borrower Arriety and From up on Poppy Hill, I may get them on Amazon if I get fork out the cash.

    Aschur, now that I think about it, scientific is pretty good with Steins;Gate and Toaru. In reality, I enjoy slice of life type anime the most as I feel I can relate to those more.

    And here's some movies that I would recommend
