yea those damn animators are getting lazy the last 2 episodes have been tons of flashbacks and talking.

**********SPOILERS for 131********
















MORE TALKING.... Sasuke talks about how he has to achieve his other super Sharingans, but having to kill his closest friend ... Naruto
 
Oh sh1t, I totally forgot about FLCL... I have all the episodes on disc, but I've been waiting to BUY the set until I actually have money. If she likes zany anime with girls beating up on guys, then FLCL would definitly work.
 
depends on her sexual preference; shows like Kyou Kara Maou, Skisho, Loveless are classified as BL (Boys Love = homosexual) anime if she swings that way.

Ai yori Aoshi, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyo, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Kanon, D.C. Da Capo, Nanaka 6/17, Midori no Hibi are good romantic series you and her could both enjoy.. (not that i didnt like KKM tho, the show is quite amusing with sexual bias aside 😛)

For something cute and funny consider Galaxy Angel (series 1-4 and buncha OVAs), Digi Charat Nyo!, Azumanga Daiou, Sensei no Ojikan. many of the jokes in GA/Nyo are closely related to japanese culture / play on words so YMMV. personally i couldnt stop laughing for almost every second 😀

If she doesnt mind some fanservice material, something along the line of Mahoromatic (series 1-2 and few OVAs), 2x2=shinobuden, UFO Princess Valkyrie, Yumeria, Rizelmine, Stratos 4 and Daphne in the Brilliant Blue

Pitaten and Nanaka 6/17 are also good shows loaded with cuteness.

I thought Comic Party / Revolution / Special were very entertaining, she may like it if she is really into anime. Narue no Sekai certainly could use some more quality in terms of drawing and plot, but all in all show was good with some heartwarming episodes and excellent music.

Onegai Teacher / Twins were also great series in my book, complete with great humor, drawing, music, voice acting and everything. (I preferred the latter of the two)

Check if Uta-Kata is out on DVDs, it is one of best shows from last year hands down imo. Same goes for Rozen Maiden and Futakoi, some of other excellent picks from last year.

There are some really good recent series like Mahoraba, Gokujo Seitokai and Gakuen Alice, but I doubt they are available for purchase just yet.

I could recommend you more if it was just for you, but for girls excessive amount of fanservice could be a turnoff, plus I ruled out some shows that may be seen too dark, convoluted, pessimistic or mediocre.

Oh yeah, special honorary mention goes to Scrapped Princess, I have been listening to the soundtrack lately, reminiscing how good the anime was except for obvioulsy rushed ending. highly recommened for anyone.

Hope that would keep you busy for now 🙂

try full metal panic fumoffu. it's hilarious and has that. though it's the sequal to full metal panic which is a good series but not a complete comedy like fumoffu. fumoffu doesn't really have a storyline but the 1st series would give you some background info about the characters and show you why they do what they do, not critically important though.

maybe also scrapped princess

fumoffu was great... though i could never bring myself to like chidori. funny thing is there is a character in Koikaze with identical name (and arguably similar personality traits, lol). OP and ED songs are just perfect for jogging btw 😀

i posted a link to FMP : the Second Raid promo video in that gigantic anime thread, check it out if you havnt already. doesnt look like its gonna be the same good ole' school comedy, but at least they are not going back to gonzo (thank god)
 
Thanks all, esp to VanillaH for taking the time to suggest all those titles, I appreciate it! :beer:

There are many anime titles at BB, but most listed in this thread were not there. Anyway, I ended up getting Azumanga Daiou and Galaxy Angels!
