Here's the deal. As it stands right now, I'm out of anime to watch and manga to read. I've finished Death Note (lol @ Light), finished Love Hina, and am completely caught up with all the ongoing series I'm interested in.
To fix this, I've decided to branch out and find some new series to read and watch, and I was hoping I could get some recommendations (as opposed to just picking things randomly off of a scanlation sites list and hoping it doesn't suck).
I enjoy series with action, and I don't particularly care about the level of blood and/or gore. IÆll watch Samurai Jack, Hellsing, and everything in between. It doesnÆt really matter to me. Adventure stories are also a plus, because hey, who doesn't like reading a good epic?
Romance is another genre I enjoy reading about, though for it to be a 'pure' romance (no giant robots, no magic girls, no saving the world, no Ultimate Evil<sup>TM</sup> to destroy, ect, ect. Basically nothing more than a work of fiction, as opposed to science fiction or fantasy), it would have to be really good for me to consider reading it. I liek mah shinies, after all.
Harem romances are always amusing, even if it isn't a harem in the end (because I can't really think of any harem anime or manga that actually ended in a harem)*.
And for the record, I consider any story with at least two (preferably three) potential and/or active love interests to be in the "harem" category. That means I'd consider a manga like Bleach to be a harem series after a fashion, as there are at least two women (possibly three) who are romantically interested in Ichigo. I know that's not the 'standard' definition of a harem story (which tends to have a Four Love Interests Minimum), but since there really aren't that many harem series to begin with, I'm willing to lower my standards a bit.
Comedy series are always a plus, and I'm not at all adverse to crack series. Those are my favorites, actually.
In short, I'll read and watch just about anything from any genre as long as it's good, though romances (especially harem romances (for teh Dramas)), action/adventures (a la shonen), and comedies are always my favorites.
And of course, thanks in advance.
* On that note, if you actually know of a series that has a confirmed, implied, or heavily suggested harem pairing, then I'm definitely interested.
