Every character is special. The story is full of romance and humor but its also very deep. Characters deal with abuse and self esteem issues, not to mention a very wicked family curse. 2. InuYasha How could anyone not love a cute boy with dog-ears, who happens to have an equally cute brother in need of an attitude adjustment. A mix of action, humor, and romance make this a must for any anime fan. 3. Sailor Moon If you know anything about anime then you have more than likely heard of Sailor Moon. Its what got me hooked. Who doesn’t like the idea of battling evil with a little help from your best friends. It’s colorful with a splash of planet power. 4. Chobits Chi has got to be one of the cutest and sweetest female characters around. What’s even funnier is that she gets paired with a clumsy guy with a one-track mind. Wink* Wink*. It’s a wonderful story about love and finding that special person in your life. 5. Big O Sassy android and a BIG robot. Plus an amazing, crazy, twisting plot. Theme song is a plus also. 6. Vampire Princess This is a favorite of Goth anime lovers everywhere. The heroine is a bit of a pryo and she’s got a very handy protector. 7. Card Captors/ aka Card Captor Sakura This is a major kid show, but like Sailor Moon its still hard not to love. Has a very cute theme song and Sakura has a wondrous wardrobe. Plus it has a little romance, not much since all the characters are all youngsters. 8. Love Hina This is another one that’s hard to describe. A guy in a house full of girls, need I say more? Its full of crazy situations and a lot of bathing. I promise you’ll feel sorry for the poor guy after reading just the first chapter. 9. Night Walker I know what your thinking. Night Walker O_o Huh? What? It’s not very well known (hope I’m not the only one who’s seen it). But still its one of my favorites. Vampires, two hot girls, and a weird guy loves guy sideline. This show also has one of the cutest sidekicks I’ve seen in an anime. She’s small, adorable and she has a very big mouth. Did I mention she’s pretty much useless as far as special powers go? 10. Cowboy Bebop Some of the best characters ever. Bounty hunters, hidden pasts, cute dog, and a very hot leading guy.
