Category → Anime! Title → Princess Tutu Reason → Its Sailor Moon meets Swan Lake. The most touching and beautiful anime I've watched in a while. :( Also Takahiro Sakurai is in the Japanese dub~ The heroine is the most adorable thing I've ever seen and sginaoisgniosangoia I honestly can't recommend this one enough.

Category → Manga/Anime. Both are awesome. Title → Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler Reason → Goth/Victorian-ish clothing and tons of pretty boys. Its dark and amazing. :| There's a second season available of the anime but first things first. Kind of hard to get a hold of the the manga because it was licensed and all that jazz.

I'm sorry to say that Princess Tutu was not an anime for me. But it was nice to at least try something new. Thanks for the suggestion, babydoll! Feel free to suggest more if they come to you~
Mm, I've not read the manga (...yet?), but there is just so much ACTION, I would think that this is one of those rare cases where the anime manages to be better than the manga. Plus, it wasn't manga first--it was a light novel series first of all, so.
ALSO, this was one of those even MORE rare cases...where I enjoyed the dub a lot more than the sub. The dub is REALLY well-done. And maybe it's also partly because...it's supposed to be the 1930s in America, and they are CLASSIC-STYLE MAFIA GANGSTERS. Obvs. if they'd existed IRL, they would've spoken English, and maybe some Italian. So I guess the dub just makes it seem more 'real', or maybe just 'sells it better'? But YEAH...the link I left is for the subs, but if you can find it dubbed somewhere online, that's the one you wanna watch. ...I...own it, so I didn't have to find it online. So. =\
Category → Anime Title → Princess Jellyfish Reason → Because I told you so. It's really funny, it's endearing, it's unique, it's short. Link → http://www.hulu.com/princess-jellyfish
Category → Anime Title → House of Five Leaves Reason → If you're into s slow, somber shy samurai story this one is really good. It's also only 5 episodes. Link → http://www.hulu.com/house-of-five-leaves
Category → Anime Title → Panty and Stocking w/Garterbelt Reason → This one is just ridiculous. Not something to be taken seriously but to enjoy and laugh at every now and then. Highly sexual in nature. Link → http://www.crunchyroll.com/panty-and-stocking-with-garterbelt
NOTE: Uh...the beginning is pretty slow because I don't think the author knew if she wanted it to be a slice of life type story or straight shounen. I recommend watching the first three eps of the anime and then skipping to like...episode 20. Manga wise you can go ahead and read all of it. There's some manga only characters that are amazing and hilarious. (Hint: His name will rhyme with Ong Ramp) Also, a lot of the more gruesome mafia type deaths/blood scenarios were taken out of the anime but are all BAM in your face in the manga.

Title → Baccano!
Reason → ...Because it is awesome--the two best descriptions of this show I've ever seen are:
"It's like Fullmetal Alchemist meets The Sopranos during Prohibition ON A TRAAAAAAIN."
&
"Baccano! The show that seems to have it out for anyone with fingers."
NOW TELL ME, HOW COULD ANYONE RESIST THAT. 83

Warnings → SHEER AWESOME. TV-MA RATING, SO BLOOD + VIOLENCE (+ SOME CRAZY/CRAZY-AWESOME FIGHT SCENES) + A LITTLE LANGUAGE = VERY YES.
...AN' ALSO, IF YA DON'T WATCH YASELF, EVEN A CLASSY DAME LIKE YOU COULD VERY WELL END UP TALKIN' LIKE DIS FER A WHILE AFTAWARDS, CAPICE?

Title → Katekyo Hitman REBORN!
Reason → Mafia anime/manga where 90 percent of the cast is pretty men and the other 10 percent is pretty ladies. Funny and amazing~
